This is a very good game! March 16, 2006
Very much worth the small measly amount of money it costs.
This game combines some of the best eliments of first person shooters with role playing games in a way that i dont think has really been done previously. It aslo adds eliments of realism that makes you think strategically about your aproach... basically the gameplay combines the fun of shooting and deystroying stuff, the thrill of challenging oponents, with the depth of realistic strategy, and charecter development.
Story line is exceptional... i find myself loosing sleep because i dont want to stop playing the game, because I want to make whatever hapens next to happen. Plot is exceptionally rich if you like conspiracies.
If you dont think this is a good game, seak emediate medical attention because there is something seriously wrong with you.
Truly a Game of the Year March 12, 2006

I just bought this game after seeing how dirt cheap it was ($1.99 from the seller I used) and had heard it was great. I wasn't disappointed. The game takes you through a very engaging storyline merging several consipracy theories as a fierce, "nanoaugmented" anti-terrorist agent bent on stopping some bad people from taking over the world. The best part is that is that unlike most games that offer only a set way to accomplish your goals, Deus Ex let's you pick from from a dizzying array, playing off your character's individual set-up. You can go for a gunslinging soldier-build, to a stealthy, spring-from-the-shadows type that hardly ever has to squeeze off a shot. No matter whether you decide to break down doors and go in shooting or hack your way through a security system, Deus Ex's strongest point is its variability: you'll defintely have to play it more than once to take in most of it (and not even all of it); each playthrough will offer something new and exciting you didn't notice the first time around. For such an "old" game, it seems to me that it has definitely stood up to the test of time, graphics be damned.
Dated, but still the best. January 24, 2006

Deus Ex has so many things to do that I could replay it and still not get half of it. Storyline is the best I have ever seen.
BUY IT.
The "Deus Ex Machina" of gaming January 11, 2006

This game is truly a god above all others. I agree with a previous reviewer that playing this game can ruin gaming in a way. No other game even comes close (System Shock 2 a very distant second). The imagery and music are so powerful -- they leave a lasting nostalgia for the game that borders on the spiritual.
The two most memorable scenes of the game for me are Vandenberg and the Gas Station. The feeling of emptiness and desolation these levels give is exquisite. The Vandenberg level has to be the most complex and detailed map of any game I've ever seen. It's basically an interactive novel...you can walk the equivalent of miles in this level and never get bored.
There is so much more I could say...just get the game, turn the lights off, and have fun...
An amazing experience. A massively detailed world. January 3, 2006

I won't try to explain the game, because many other people have.
All I can say is that the whole experience is great. This is a sublime game.
The best parts are the town sections. Going through all the shops and buildings in places like Hong Kong and exploring all the hidden rooms and passages.
Other games have levels which are linear walks through a forest or generic bunkers, with perhaps some dynamic lighting and a couple of hard bits. Big deal.
The creators of Deus Ex have put in huge amounts of effort to make this a detailed experience. Right from all the elements of character creation, weapon customisation, to the engaging storyline, this is a masterpiece. It deserves nothing less than the highest accolades.
