Splendid action and adventure hybrid

This game is truly brilliant, I love the storyline behind it, some games like Hitman 2 (which is still super fun) have a very weak storyline that is promising in the beginning yet sort of drags on with missions and no idea whats going on in the story). This game makes you think things through before you do them, for instance....

In one mission you are forced to break into a prison cell and rescue another officer, you can either deactivate the laser alarms with a multitool or find a back way in. I only had 2 multitools and it required 2 to disarm the laser, I didnt know if id need another later on in the level so I was forced to find a backway through, after a couple patient attempts, i managed to get through and rescue him without squandering any resources, which gives a very rewarding feeling of accomplishment.

This game is very fun and with so many twists and turns youll play it through a couple more times to see different ways the story can go.

BUY THIS GAME

One of the best FPS I have played. Story line is good and lots of exploring to do. Graphics could be a little better but the game play makes up for that. Don't bother buying it if you do not have a powerful system though. Need lots of video power for this one,
Over all it is one of the best I have ever played.

Dated, but still the best.

Deus Ex has so many things to do that I could replay it and still not get half of it. Storyline is the best I have ever seen.
BUY IT.

Immersive and gripping.

I gave up playing games about a decade ago, but I had a few days off recently, and I picked this game up because I heard it was the best game ever made... and it is! I honestly don't think I've ever enjoyed a computer game so much as I did this one. It plays like an action game, but your character develops like in a role-playing game, and the story's so compelling (excellent writing, on par with any TV show and with many films) that I found myself playing on and on because I wanted to see what would happen next. Truly a unique experience, and easily the best computer or video game I've ever seen.

Wonderfully intricate

As an avid player of RPGs and first person shooters, I really like this game. The story, plot, and action are easily on par with a game like Half-Life but what really sets this game apart is the breath of detail in how main characters and NPCs interact with the main character as the game progresses based upon decisions made throughout the game. This makes for exceptional replay value.

The only thing that seemed rather odd to me when I first played it, is that for a cybernetically enhanced individual, his jumping ability is pretty feeble. It doesn't hurt the game, it just seemed odd. But after thinking about it (and playing the game again), I think games like Quake, Half-Life, and Unreal have more forgiving physics.

Anyway a really fantastic game.

An amazing game

This game is over six years old. And it beats everything I've played until now.

Firstly, though, this game is not a shoot 'em up and not Quake like. This is not Tombraider.

This game is immersive. You go into the game's environment, and you start to care about the characters in the game. You get a sense of wonder about the environments and the scenarios.

You will like this game if you like spy movies and you like games with multiple solutions.

One of the best games ever created

Deus Ex is a wonderful game unlike anything before it. Its amazing, unexpected, and twisting plot is twenty times as compelling as most of the pathetic, cliched, excuses for movies that hollywood cranks out. It has a level of open-endedness that surpasses any game before it. Unlike other open-ended games like The Sims, or Everquest, Deus Ex ties its story together with goals and a way that you can actually win the game. Speaking of winning, Deus Ex has 3 different endings, the choosing of which is up to you. Over the course of the game, many characters who you may even become attached to, can live or die directly based on your actions. The only problem that I have with this otherwise stupendous game is the substandard graphics. However, given the game's age, this is to be expected. There is no wrong way to play Deus Ex. You can choose to fight from the shadows, you can fight head on, you can simply sneak and avoid combat. The possibilities are limitless. Based on how you play the game, you can choose different abilities, weapons, augmentations (these are like super powers). Based on your style of play, innocents may die, enemies may live and the outcome of the world may be changed. Over 4 years since its release, Deus Ex continues to be a revolutionary experience that paves new ground for the future of video games. Forget Half Life. This is the best game ever created and deserves every bit of its Game of The Year 2000 award. Given its age, you can probably pick it up for under $15. You'll be glad you did, because Deus Ex is more than a game. It's an experience.

Best PC Game Ever. No, best game ever.

If you want a truly immersive game, this is it. This game is a work of art, a masterpiece. This game was made many, many years ago, and no modern game has ever caught up with Deus Ex's top notch gameplay. Never in the game will get that all too common feeling of being led, the feeling that you experience in most of todays FPSs. No game can compare in the way that Deus Ex gives control to the player. Augmentations, skill upgrades, weapons, various ammunition and uses for each weapon, gadgets, hacking, electronic bypassing, various missions endings, it goes on and on. Hopping off the helicopter and leaping from one roof top to the other with the moon as the only source of light and the wind blowing, taking cover, pulling out my sniper rifle and picking a soldier off a mile down the block, I knew that this game was The One.

By far the best game that has ever been created...EVER!

I'll start if off short. The thing that makes this game what it is is it's immensly deep storyline. The storyline will absolutely blow you away. It is so detailed and so intricate that even playing the game dozens of times straight through, there are still parts I cannot understand or comprehend. The game follows more of an RPG than a FPS, you will find most of your time running around trying to solve clues, find contacts, and so on without even having a weapon drawn. It is nothing like the shoot-em-up Quakes, Dooms, and Half-Lifes. The game has content, it has gameplay, an excellent musical score, and, once again I'll say it, the best storyline anybody has ever come up with. This is the kind of storyline that could, with the right people, make the best action/mystery flick ever devised. I am so enticed in the storyline even this many years after its release (and I first bought it the day it was released after playing the demo) that I even converted the music to listen to on my home stereo. THAT is how addicting the game is. If you have any brain at all, you will definately LOVE this game. Just don't go for the sequel after beating this, you will be terribly, terribly, terribly, terribly dissappointed.

Final message to the developers: make a REAL DEUS EX sequel!

Superb!

This is absolutely the best FPS I have ever played! It's got excellent gameplay which almost makes it feel more like an RPG than a FPS. The graphics are not quite up to par considering it uses the Unreal engine from a couple of years ago, but the graphics are still great. The sound is fabulous. The storyline is about as well put together as a storyline gets.

I recommend this game to any gamer of any genre. The level editor is also the most fun thing I've ever used. Once you get used to it you get really hooked. It's also the best game you can buy for that price. Deus Ex is definately the best game. If you don't have it yet then pick it up now.
