This was one truly great game.

User Rating: 9.4 | Deus Ex PC
When it came out, it helped to define the genre of games that where action/shooter/character builder. I think it put to death such games like the old doom and dark forces where you are just a person - precreated and you shoot your way through a level, find some keys, flip some switches and go on to the next level. THE THING that this game has that is really really great that not a lot of the more graduated games have to day was the character's ability to actually speak the lines that you chose for him to say in a conversation. That made the game very real. Even in Oblivion your character does not actually say the lines that you chose him to say and that serves to take away from the quality of gaming. They need to bring that aspect up in games again. I loved the upgrading of the character to make him bigger stronger faster, I loved the offices and the fact that I had email that affected game story line. I loved sniping. The graphics were super. Of course I can't fail to mention that this game was one of the first to allow for open ended endings. I did want to see naked A.I.'s doing it though. Cool game - 9.5. Rule
