System Shock: Enhanced Edition

I'm not able to get this to run under windows 7. It Crashes all the time. :o( I tried everything suggested in the forum, so I will try to get my money back. (I loved this game some 20 years ago. played this like hell, at least 10 to 20 times on the hardest level, I couldnt get enough of this. Maybe i will get my old machine out of the cellar and will play the original cd-version instead (as a geek I've hoarded every pc sind 1988 (386er))

I've also heard a lot of good things about the remake. But this one is just very difficult to recommend. The controls are very awkward, something that is improved in every Looking Glass game after this one. In general it does feel a lot like they got very close to nailing it but came up just slightly but frustratingly short. The graphics themselves are basically fine for the time. It does feel rewarding to play; over the course of it you get access to new equipment and weapons. It's legitimately compelling to manage your inventory and figure out what to keep what not to. There's a lot of stuff that hypothetically would be great in situations but then there’s other things that also have a lot of appealing traits. The role playing game elements are not as far reaching as the second game and especially when compared to stuff that came later and was also Action RPG hybrids. This game stumbled so Deus Ex 1 could run. The first person shooting is fine for when it came out. There are a lot of enemies that have incredible creative designs. This features some of the most effective nightmare fuel in any video game ever like right up there with Silent Hill. There's this one cyborg that is a human upper body attached to metallic spider legs. You feel the intense agony that they're going through. Spoony himself pointed out that this is actually one place where this does surpass the second one. As a fan of Gibson myself I do greatly appreciate the visual space that the hacking takes place in. I've played a lot of games where hacking boils down to a very simple minigame or (and I appreciate the realism) text-based interaction. In this you genuinely fly in a 3D space. It really feels like it leapt right off the page of Neuromancer. The story doesn't reinvent the wheel. It felt like a letdown because I played the follow-up before this one but if you do these in the order they came out I'm pretty sure you'll be mostly satisfied. This features at least one deeply memorable antagonist.

I canť play Enhanced edition with Win 8,1 in menu game always collapse .

This is a really good game so far, but I have played it for about two and a half hours and a glitch has made it pretty much unplayable. There is a horizontal line that goes across the screen and it freezes whatever it passes onto the screen until it passes again around fourty five seconds later and i havent been able to find anyone else online who has experianced this glitch so i am in the dark trying to figure out how to fix it. But other than that it is a very good game but unfortuneatly my first playthrough has been cut short.

It is great to have this at long last, but is there a way to invert the y axis for mouse look?
