(Keep in mind that even though I am reviewing this game 2005, I am using year 2000 standards) This game is what got me into gaming. It was the first game that I truly loved, and the first game that I have ever completed. From the moment I created my character I was thrown into a game with nonstop action and superb gameplay never before so well executed. You play in the shoes of a half robot, half man; that is unearthing a conspiracy with twists so great it will keep your heart beating until the credits. Being a man/robot is cooler than you think. You get the abilities of a person, (walking, running, shooting, dying, duh!) but you also get these cool abilities that either enhance some specific skills or give you completely new abilities. For instance you can upgrade sniper skills to have a steadier hand while sniping, or you can create lock-picking skills where you don't have to use as many lockpicks to open a door. The environments are amazing and all the people are so interactive that it truly takes you out of reality and makes you think that this is the real deal. The graphics are amazing and everything feels so real. The voice acting is great and the people as though they are real. One of my favorite aspect about this game is that you are never always in the state of peril. For instance early on in the game, there is a fight on the Statue of Liberty. At the time I thought: okay, I'll kill these guys, next level. But instead you go to your base where you can heal, and be in friendly environments all in the same level. It is a great relief to the action and gives this game an even more realistic feel. Overall this game is pure genius and really amazing. It is one of the only games I would ever replay (it has three completely different possible endings) and is still to date, one of my most favorite games of all time.
Surprisingly, RPG-Shooter hybrids are a bit rare. they were virtually non-existent for most of the last decade, and only now are they beginning to see the light again. Why the drought of such games? I dont know. But Deus... Read Full Review
