Greatest game of all time

Deus Ex was the funnest, most realistic video game I've ever played. Though the graphics are dated, the storyline is phenomenal, and the character controlled by the player, JC Denton, is by and large one of the coolest game badasses ever to grace the screen.

But to me, the best part about this game was the myriad of different possible methods which you can use to accomplish your goals. This is truly a game that you will never play the same way twice because there are so many different choices to be made, each one having great affect on the overall outcome.

For fans of sci-fi, action, role-playing, politics and philosophy, this game is sure to please.

This game is really, really great. You determine the outcome of the game by your actions and who you talk to and things like that. It also has a pretty high replay value since what you do determines the outcome of the game and there is more than one ending, but thats all I'm going to say about that. Here's a tip: part of the goals for the developers was to have at least two ways to get to important places. One word: Buy this game! ok thats like 3 but thats beside the point. The point is the game is excellent and you should get it.

this is one great game

At first I thought this would just be an okay game since I bought it randomly, but right from the start I knew it would be good. The graphics are great and I liked how everything was put together. I found some things very unique in this game such as the inventory display, how certain body parts were affected instead of the entire body, and how you can upgrade different types of skills. It has a very twisted plot that you gotta pay a lot attention to. Deus Ex (in my opinion) is easily comparable to Half-Life. This game greatly exceeded all my expectations for it!

Wonderful

Deus Ex is a game which let's you choose different way's of compleating each mission. With it's complex story line, and plot branches. Not the biggest plot branches, though, but it will make a difference. Go either stelh or berserk in four different locations; Paris, Germany, New York, and Hong Kong.
You will learn very likley replay the game a few times, and go walk around talking to you'r friend with comments from and lines that the characters say :p He he, maybe. Hurry up and get it for the secuel is on it's way, and it seems to be better. (is that possible?)

Was bored the day I bought it

I couldn't find anything that sounded interesting so I bought Deus Ex. I generally don't like this sort of game, or at least I didn't think I did. I hadn't played a first person shooter in years but I found that I really enjoyed this one. Good story line, lots of options (you can be as tough or as stealthy as you want) and a good ending. Love that sniper rifle. A definite recommend on this game.

Half-Life, Eat you heart out!

I haven't totally finished the game yet, but none the less, Half-life, which has been hailed as the best game ever, by many, is [junk] compared to this epic, beautiful game. First off, everything you do affects the games outcome, in the short or long term. For example: in the first level, walk into the womens bathroom and Manderely will get mad at you for it. Not only that, but it has four endings, turning up the replay value 4 times! The most engrossing story ever, and by far the most flexible game ever in terms of how you want to play (Kill everything, Sneak around, Or somewhere in between)

Warren Spector and Doug Church are absolute gaming geniuses. While the System Shock series blended action with role-playing (and horror), Deus Ex brings in the element of adventure games. If this is where gaming is going, there's a bright future ahead.

Best Single Player Game Ever!

I can't describe this game as a game. It's an experience.

Fully interactive environment, you feel in control of your destiny, your character, and things around you, and a part of a reality.

I got this game with my SB Audigy Gamer - and I'm surprised I never tried it out before. If I had I probably wouldn't have purchased the last 15 games, instead I'd probably would just keep playing more Deus Ex - it has a very high replayability.

You must get this game - it raises the bar on what we should all expect from supposedly interactive RPG/FPS games. Deus Ex is the standard we should demand from development teams.

Start recording your favorite TV shows for the next week, you'll be locked into Deus Ex. =)

FOUR AND HALF STARS!!!!

Dear gamers, estimated colleagues, just when I thought I wouldn't see anything better than Fallout, Diablo, and some strategies for PC , friend made me get Deus Ex. As I see, amazon offers used discs for cheaper price EVEN THEN SOLD OUT BRITISH EDITION, so GET IT!

Why would you get it? It is game from 2000. or so, graphics are much better today, you can play good online games like Guild Wars or World of Warcraft with buddies and then some...but!

Deus Ex is a game WITH A STORY: story is like fast paced Ludlum and Bourne's identity type of novel, which doesn't mean it's a copy.

Deus Ex is a game UNLINEAR: you can be a butcher who does what he is told, OR try to follow higher moral system of value and never take anything for granted or black and white. Choices decide how others interact.

Deus Ex is a game that can be HUMANE: why kill someone when you can just make them unconcious if you creep behind guy's back and whack him with a crowbar or baton?

Deus Ex is a game that has RPG elements: more you do, more points you get, and then you distribute them between different skills: you can make yourself computer and electronic hacker OR you can make flamethrowers, pistols and rifles your forte, if you are Rambo fan.

What? I didn't hype it enough? GO GET IT FOR 4 BUCKS YOU CAN't GO WRONG!!! I would even pay up to 40 bucks to get it although it is old and graphics is bad for today's PC best machines.

PS
Don't give up after level one, you NEED to spend time to learn how to play but later it becomes GREAT!!!
PPS
If I had to pick greatest game for PC since nineties, I guess I would have to pick some of Real Time or Turn strategies, Pirates! from 2002 by Sid Meyer, Diablo II, Fallout part one and maybe two and Deus Ex!

Best pure shooters would be Alice by American McGee and Clive Barker's Undying.

SOME MINOR SPOILERS AND MUST READ ADVICES (AFTER COMPLETING GAME):
You have to chose between assault rifle and assault shotgun. I think shotgun is better so don't spend upgrades on rifle. Later, unfortunately, it's easier to get rifle ammo.

What you really need in the game are fast legs to run away so upgrade JCs body with leg implants.

Don't forget to install and upgrade recovery ability, it's useful to turn it on with F9 when you fight mechs or men in black.

Use rocket launcher , it opens all doors except infinite. SAVE rockets, lockpicks, bio cells and multitools and try to find nano key cartridges or codes for doors and stuff. I spent lotsa exp on hacking, in the beginning, then lockpicking and electronics.

YOU MUST have at least one level of heavy weapon and one level of rifle...

Easily One of the Best Games Ever Made

First of all, why four stars?
Without giving a spoiler, there is a point in this game where you are given the illusion of a choice. You can go through all the motions of making the choice the game is designed for you to make and then decide not to. You can go back to the place where your choice path for this level was started in conversation and there is a conversation option that makes it seem like you actually have two options.
You do not have two options. You must make the choice the game is designed for you to make or your game will not continue.

In a game designed for you to make decisions that affect your future, I found this slightly, VERY SLIGHTLY disappointing. This and this alone is why this game in my opinion did not receive a perfect five star review.

The story in this game is vibrant, very engrossing and enjoyable to everyone whom I have ever introduced to it, bar none. Even people who did not enjoy first person shooters or people who disliked role-playing games enjoyed this game which incorporates aspects of both.

While still being a first-person shooter, you have complete control over the level of violence you use. You can use gas grenades, a baton, a stun prod and sedatives to take down your enemies and threats non-lethally if you so choose with very few exceptions (three that I counted). It is possible to play through this entire game with nearly no body count, and it is more challenging and fun often to attempt this.

You have control over the development of your main characters development (what abilities he gets, how powerful those abilities become) and his morality as well. Even now, as the game has become slightly dated, it is still one of the best games I've had the pleasure of playing.

This is one of the few game purchases that I've made with no regrets. I cannot recommend it enough to any type of player.
