I love this game. I discovered it in the fall of 2001 and it seemed so prescient. I love the cheat codes and hacks. I love doing it without killing anyone. Sure it isn't the sexiest interface, and everything they say about the ai is true, but still I wish I could play it for the first time again(too bad about the lousy sequel).

The best first person shooter I ever played

Even though this game is a few years old, it is the best first person shooter game I've played--and I've played quite a few. All I will say is "buy this game." The second best first person shooter I've played is SWAT 4, which is great if you want something a bit more realistic. I usually like the more realistic games, but Deus ex is so fun that I can't complain it's not realistic.

Oooooohhhh give me my life back....

Wowsers is this game phenomenal. The variety of weaponry, the challenges of the missions, the amazing graphics, the online multi-player capability....I've run through the single player version 4 times, and am an online addict. It's insane. It's gorgeous. I love it.

Admittedly, the missions are occasionally repetitive, but there are enough changes to keep things interesting. Running through the single player version multiple times is still very enjoyable, because one may choose different weapons, augmentations, and answers to questions from non-player characters.

The main problem comes from the insanely fast passage of time which occurs whilst playing - I swear my computer desk zaps into some bizarro space/time continuum thing which makes 6 hours seem like 1. Oy.

My advice - if you have a significant other with whom you wish to spend time, just stay right the heck away from this game. Seriously, oh my yes. Otherwise, run (do not walk) and get this game. You truly won't be sorry.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what can i say that hasn't been said already?

i started playing this game three days ago, and i have been unable to move from my chair until just now, when i finished it.
i practically had to make myself go to sleep yesterday morning, after a 24 hour run.. i'd been drop dead tired for at least 6 hours, but i couldn't quit.

here's the thing about the complaints people have.. i agree with all the things people say about how the A.I. is kind of bad, and the animation isn't the best.. but i don't care. i've never played a game so fun in my life. after Deus Ex, its going to be pretty hard for a game to keep me interested.. because i've seen how good they can get. now, i guess i'll see what multiplayer is like.

The single best Single-player game I have ever played.

This epic of a game has become my touchstone when determining the quality of a new game. This game contains unsurpassed quality in depth, story, replayability, and just plain fun. This is not your normal RPG OR shooter. It takes strategy, and your own style. I loved being able to determine my own fate and progress. Be warned though, this game is not for those who can just run and gun. Those of you who can't think your way out of a paper box will probably return this game, and I know some people that did. The only issue I had was that the graphics were pretty dated, because I just got it at the end of last year. For 2000 though, the graphics were beutiful, and besides, the archetecture and level design is absolutely amazing. I can't wait for the sequel.

Greatest Game Of All Time (Forget it's On a Computer.)

Basically you install this game, and the first level takes over four hours if you wan't to just, savor the game, and with it's graphics, sound, and gameplay,and engrossing gameplay, there is no reason not to, this is the greatest story driven game about government conspiracies ever created, it's a RPG, shooter, strategy sim, and drama, all wrapped into one, it's far superior to half-life, and to me, it's the update.- this game'll blow your mind, it's a steal at 30.00$ - i've got all the great games, Grand Theft Auto III, doesn't hold a candle to the replay value in this, you can do anything, at any time, you can waste innocents, or protect them , the decisions are up to you, sneak through the level killing no one, or go out guns blazing,
or perhaps hack your way into the computers and security systems, opening doors and shutting down bots..
it's all up to you, it's wide open, there is no, you know how in most FPS there is a straight line to go? in this there is countless paths, and hidden sidequests, you can easily replay the game an infinite amount of time, and this version has multiplayer as well, all in all, this is the game that makes me appreciate games, and love to be a gamer. One Scales One to ten.

Graphics : 10 - -for me they fit the purpose, anyone saying it looks dated, are spoiled, crisp, clear, and highly detailed, you can even see your charactors when they walk into a mirror.

Sound : 10 - Perfect sound, great voice acting.

Control : 10 - if you've played one FPS you've played them all, and these belong on the P.C. not the consale..there is many ways to customize your controls, and tailor your game.

Replay Value: 10+ you'll never do all you can do in deus ex, and that's where it's magic lies. do yourself a favor and pick it up before it's discontinued.

The title on the box says it all! Game of the Year!

I personally loved every minute of DX. I own the original and this edition. I have owned DX for a year, and I'm still not tired of it. With the game of the year edition, you get the unreal mission editior. You can use this to make new or edit the game levels. It is hard to use, but if you go to the many Deus Ex websites, there are a lot of tutorials to help you out. I am currently anticipating Deus Ex 2. Deus Ex is a must buy for anybody who loves to play excellent PC games.

Deus Ex GOTY

Deus Ex has very often been called the greatest Role Playing Games ever created, and with good reason. Though the graphics are incredibly dated if you can see passed this there is fantastic gameplay, and intriguing plot and, suprisingly, interesting questions raised about human nature and political ideology.

The last may sound quite pompous but do not let this put you off. The game is a First Person Shooter and is filled with action. The detail in the game is astonishing. Many times I've decided to simply wander around and talk to other characters and investigate areas and found computers whose owners are having conversations about security, affairs or even mundane repairs. There is always something new to find each time you play.

And you will play this many times. While the game can take about 40-45 hours to complete (if you take your time) there are numerous choices to make which will affect how missions go, or how certain characters react to you. This level of detail allows you to complete goals in several different ways. You can choose to shoot it out, use stealth or simply buy your way in. And, in the odd occasion, you don't have to do a thing. You can just walk away.

You play as J.C. Denton, a UNATCO (United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition) agent. This group was formed after a terrorist attack in New York in which the Twin Towers fell and the Statue of Liberty was destroyed. Considering this game was made in the late 90s it is strange that the Towers are no longer in the skyline of 2054 New York.

The plot is full of twists which you really do not see coming. The critically acclaimed soundtrack, which comes with this edition on a separate CD, fits perfectly with the mood of each moment of the game. The only problem? The second CD which contains the level editor and soundtrack can be a pain to get working. Other than that, this is a great game; still better than most games on the market today and only a fraction of the price. Every PC gamer should have this.

An amazing,innovative and original game

So what is the fuss all about? Deus Ex was ahead of its time. It merged RPG elements into a First Person Shooter and allowed multple ways to finish every mission, which raised the reply value. I am actually upset because there aren't more games like this one. We see the same generic FPS formula redone over and over again. Companies can still learn from Deus Ex and they should. Deus Ex offers some very satisfying gameplay. Even though Deus Ex seems to be a FPS, it allows you to do things that you don't normally find in an FPS. You can hack computers, use lock picks on doors, and blow up doors. That is an example of how Deus Ex gives you multiples ways to accomplish an objective. The way you kill is also a factor. You can use melee weapons, pistols, heavy guns, and sniper weapons. You can actually increase you effectiveness with using these weapons by raising your experience level in them. This little tidbit makes the game quite addictive. The graphics have not aged well, but nonetheless, the superb gameplay should make you forget about that, even for the most shallow gamers today. So is it worth getting? YEAH!

Love FPS-RPGs?

Deus Ex is a wonderful game. It was one of the first FPS-RPGs (First-Person Shooter / Role-Playing Game), allowing the user to add skill points in various attribute areas, such as weapons, first aid, the use of numerous protective equipment. Each open-style mission allows the user to find multiple entrance points to the target site, based on skill and play-style. The Choose-Your-Own-Adventure dialog also allows for a new set of choices for every replay.
The graphics are now dated, but it is a classic game.

If you like the style and gameplay of Deus Ex, you should also try Mass Effect.
