This is an incredibly complex game, you can play it 50 times and it is never the exact same. Written so you can choose what your charcter is adds to the game by giving YOU more control over your charcter. Over all a worth while game.
Best FPS Ever Made!!!

I agree with most people who say this game is better than Half-Life. I loved HL, but this one is more intriguing and the storyline much more engaging. Kudos to the creators for making a game where the object isn't to necessarily kill everyone. In fact, some characters give you grief if you are too violent. A game with a conscious. How novel ... and cool.
The only thing I don't like so far (I'm about halfway through) is the conservative political bent; the not too veiled reference that the UN and FEMA are waiting in the wings to take over the world. People actually believe this nonsense so I hope the creators were being tongue in cheek about it. Regardless, it's still a blast. Highly recommended.
one of the best games ever

This is an execellent game that I would recommend to anyone. There is a reason that after over 60 reviews this game has almost 5 stars from everyone. If you like first person action games then this game is a must for anyone and I can't wait until the sequel
finally a game worth playing for :P

i got deus Ex free with my new pc, played it once and cant put it down, i just recieved my broadband and honestly i got 10-20 games i can play online, but i chose this one :)
i cant seem to say much about 1st player, ive played some of it and its great, u earn "points" through out the game to spend on training for a particular thing you would like to get better at lol e.g. rifle, heavy weapons etc,
i mostly play online now, i like to play with alot of people who have a smart mind with tactics, well this game, you need it ;) you can have 2 teams, 15 people each side. 1 team has taken the warehouse turrets (machine gun defence) and the team await behind the defence with deadly snipers. Your team, plans a way to get in there, you rush in, only a few survive with skill and your team has control of the turrets and now you wait... for the right moment to shoot your gun :)
LOADS of guns included - about 15+ i say, 5 out of 5 for this, yea, the graphics are old - but a true gamer dont go for graphs they go for gameplay, this game, has it all :)
Deus Ex is the best game ever

Well it was 4 years ago so I can forgive the bad graphics. But straight away I felt uncomfortable with the character motions. When you run forward you seem to bob up and down. Its bloody irritating. Motion should be smooth and fluid. Instead it feels slow and sticky. Then there's the appalling AI. I mean come on guys. I'm a C++ programmer and I could program better AI than that. The characters in the game are constantly running around in circles bumping into each other. Its pathetic. It looks ridiculous. One of the elements of this game is supposed to be stealth. You can sneak past you enemies. Damn right you can, because the AI is so poor that you can literally walk right toward them while they are staring right at you and they will not even see you until you get about 10 feet away from them. So long as you stay more than 10 feet from them they cannot see you even if you are in their direct line of sight. Is that realistic? The creators of this game are the same dudes who brought us System Shock 2. Well SS2 was infinitely better than this garbage and was better in every department, from motion, to AI, to gameplay, and even graphics, even though SS2 was earlier than this title.
Not what I was expecting

Well after reading the reviews here I thought this might be a great game that I somehow missed. Now first off for the budget price I paid I won't ramble too long and yes I do realize that the graphics are dated so enough about the obvious.
One thing that I did not know about and my major gripe with the game... It is absolutley linear in nature. Yes you can go all out guns or stealth around but the premise is that you get your mission and start at point A and go to point B. The mission ends then and there an you go back to headquarters for your next mission. AI is weak to say the least and stealthy approaches are laughable in how the computer handles it.
While it does offer you more approaches than say HL2 or other plain FPS games it still boils down to pure linear missions. Role playing amounts to leveling points in melee/small guns/large guns/lockpicking/electronics/etc. Nothing really special here and there is essentially no selling and/or buying items (a random walking npc will offer to sell 2 ammo clips here and there, plain vanilla stuff)
I do feel as though this was a great game in its time but understand that this is no futuristic Morrowind or KOTR.
Accelerate THIS!

I suppose this game would be great fun if only you have the accelerator that it requires. After I discovered that it wouldn't run on our very new, very high-tech PC, I tried to find the accelerator that it required, to no avail.
