Description
System Shock: Enhanced Edition also includes the classic 32-bit version of the game.
You're a renowned hacker, the most notorious cyberspace thief in the corporate world. Caught during a risky break-in, you become indentured to Diego, a greedy Trioptium exec who bankrolls a rare cyberjack implant operation. After six months in a healing coma, you awaken to the twisted aftermath of a terrible disaster. Where are the surgeons? Why is the station in such disrepair? Slowly, the chilling realization that something is very wrong creeps over you.
Once a prime corporate research facility, Citadel now teems with mindless cyborgs, robots and terribly mutated beings, all programmed to serve SHODAN, a ruthless A.I. There's scarcely time to think before it unleashes the first terror...
Exactly twenty one years after its first release, System Shock is back!
The Enhanced Edition adds a modern touch to this true classic gem, without taking anything from its unmistakable atmosphere.
See for yourself that the game that has been called the benchmark for intelligent first-person gaming, has lost nothing of its ability to keep you on the edge of your seat.
System Shock: Enhanced Edition features:
- Higher resolution support: up to 1024x768, and 854x480 widescreen mode.
- Mouselook support added.
- Remappable keys with three profiles to choose from: original controls, custom controls, and lefthanded controls.
- Some original game bugs fixed.
Rocket through cyberspace to steal information, hack security and grapple with watchdog defense programs enslaved to a maniacal computer.
Survive battle after battle against armies of killer cyborgs and deadly robots as you collect hardware attachments, life-sustaining patches and deadly weapons to combat mindless mutants.
Test your intelligence by solving puzzles, rewiring access panels and outwitting SHODAN in its own cyber-realm.
Enjoy the vastly improved controls and graphics of the Enhanced Edition - or keep your experience as close to the original as possible with the Classic version.
It is a good game but it gets soon claustrophobic, repetitive and boring. Once you have seen level 1 you have seen them all and there are like 7 levels. It looks like a difficult game at first but soon you will realize it is just a simple shooter that forces you to search everything to get a new gun, ammo or a healthkit which is after a while just annoying routine. It is not that interesting to explore the ship. From that era I would recommend Realms of Hauntig instead. That offers more fun with more variety of levels and a much better story.
I'm about 60-70% through the game and i'm enjoying it quite a bit, I imagine the sequel to this is less aged in terms of gameplay and will result in me being more immersed. Still a great game none the less!
The game itself is charming and a milestone. You can see it as a predecessor of the Thief-Series, DeusEx (the first) and BioShock. Manipulating and acting with and within the world / levels are quite amazin for a game of that age. The enemies and (if you like to have it enabled) the time pressure is challeging and will give you quite some fear and feel of loneliness. Graphics are very dated, if you cant handle that maybe better get System Shock 2 or Bioshock instead.
Sadly I just read about that whole "System Shock Portable" Stuff and about what the new Publisher "Nightdive Studios" did. The same guys own System Shock 2 now, as well as Turkok and want you to pay 20 (!) Euros for the first Turok. I don't think one should support such business strategy, sadly they already got my money.
After all its your choice and if you can handle the graphics and the publisher or you already played Thief 1/2, Deus Ex 1 or SystemShock 2 / Bioshock and liked that games you should watch some youtube videos about it or give it at try immediately.
