This will be one of the great games of 2000. I am normaly a stradegy and action gamer, taking little interest in the roleplaying scene. When I first heard of Dues Ex, however, I was extremely interested. The level of detail involved,(I just learned you can step on rats) was incredible, and the story-line kicked major booty. The deep level of character custimization was incredible, from choosing traits,(everywhere from sharpshooting to hacking) to choosing your own augmentations. With five, count em', FIVE different endings and different ways of approaching every situation, youve got a game with seemingly unlimited replay value which will be sure to please any gamer for weeks on end. It will for me.

Yes!

I have played the demo, and just from that, this is a strong canidate for game of the year. It has a strong role playing element, while keeping the adventure and action elements there. None of these conflict or overpower each other, making this game appealing to a large group of people.

It is the best

I`m not allowed to tell you anything you anything about this game, but here is one line of advice : Trust nobody in the game. Not even your brother. This game is just excellent for people who enjoyed the movies "The Matrix" & "The Terminator". I played an hour of this game, & this has no genre. It`s it`s own!

Warren Spector's masterpiece

Thanks to WS and his development team at Ion Storm my skin will soon become pasty white after trying this game. It is very addictive. In this game you play as the character JC Denton. He is a nanoaugmented agent that works for the United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition (UNATCO). When I say nanoaugmented I mean to say he has tiny machines working throughout his bloodstream that make him quicker, stronger, and tougher than the average guy. Now that I have given the background I'll tell you about the game. You start at Liberty Island, NY. Your goal is to rescue a comrade and find your way to the top of the statue to interrogate the terrorist leader. The cool thing about this game is you can replay it over and over because there are numerous approaches to beating the game. You can be a hacker, a shooter, a guy that stays in the shadows, or a demolition guy. Your options are to attack the heavily guarded front of the statue or slip in the back in the first mission. This game could be described as a mix of adventure, action and RPG games. The interrogation and plot make up the adventure elements, your view is a fps which falls into the action category, and the interface is RPG derived. You can also customize your character in the different areas of skill: weapons, computers, demolitions, etc. The gameplay is good overall and is the srongest point of the game. The AI is pretty good too, though at sometimes it can be rather dumb. Graphics are excellent as well, but to run this game flawlessly I suggest Pentium 400+ proccessor, 128ram, and a Voodoo3 card or better. The physics can be disappointing at times, you can often throw a chair, vase, flask and it will hit the floor and stick. It won't slide, topple over, or break, it just sticks. The game also features dialogue which many games don't include. The lip-sync is excellent, one of the best I've ever seen. The plot will be conspiracy based and the paranoia has just landed in our summer. Definetly one to pick up guys, I know I'll have my copy.

Best game of the year so far

This game is great! It lets you play the way that fits you best, this is what games are all about; True interactive entertainment. Games are always full of enemies and obstacles that you need to figure out how to pass but this game has many ways to pass every situation. You can play this damn game a million times and always have a different experience!

Good Combination of Popular Games

Deus Ex is one heck of an awesome game. It's like a combination or Soldier of Fortune with Thief: The Dark project. A player can hide in the shadows and snipe at his enemies or run up behind an enemy and take him out. You can also pick up an enemy's body so that other enemy forces won't see the body. You can also search dead bodies for weapons,ammos, etc. It's a great game, though it does not have Soldier of Fortune style violence, it is still violent and fun to play.

Game Of The Year!

After years of production and hype, Deus Ex is finally here. Is it good? Oh yes! The gameplay is out of this world! Never before have I been so engrossed in a gaming world that seems to change all around me. At the start of the game, you get to chose an area to focus on. This could be a firearms expert, computer whiz a sneak etc. Each way can help you and get you through the game. Example- Your breaking into a lab to find the drug you need to prove that aliens exist. Its guarded by 4 men. Do you A- Shoot the guards and run in. B- Sneak through the ventilation shafts to get in. Or C- Crack into the system, tell the guards to get off duty, and open the door. These are all options for every mission, except there are over 10 each! The game is extremely long, not done yet, and has a story of espionage and conspiracies. The graphics look nice, and the other options will keep you playing for a long time. All in all, front runner with The Sims for game of the year.

JUST tOOOO GOOD
