Deus Ex™ GOTY Edition

This game has replay value out the wazoo. I have played and beaten it over 6-7 times on diffrent ports *3 times on the N-64* and I like the PC version best. Byfar this is one of the neatest games you will ever play because you are given so many choices and options to handle a situation. The game gets frustrating at times and I have found a glitch in the Hong Kong area, however i managed to bypass it. If you are thinking about getting this, just get it. It is well worth the 5 or 10 dollars. I think most games out their lack substance, and this has it. I would call it a bleak game but a great one, nonetheless.

Deus Ex is one of the finest experiences in gaming. The amount of choice a player has in any given situation was super refreshing for the time, and over a decade later I'd still heartily recommend the experience. Download some of the texture packs and skill point fixes, but other than that go in blind - make your own decisions based off what you think is best and live with the consequences. There are no right answers! It's a shame the sequels weren't nearly as good.

This game (and to a lesser degree the sequels) totally revolutionized gaming for me. I've been playing first person shooters since Wolfenstein 3d, but this brought a new element: Choice! There are multiple ways to accomplish almost any objective in game. Often the path you choose changes the outcome of something further down the line... which means you can play this game multiple times and it will be a different experience. Sure the graphics are a bit dated now, but the gameplay and story still stands up. If somehow you've never played Deus Ex, install it now and thank me later. If you have played it, re-install rinse and repeat.

I tried Wolfenstein 3D for an hour or two back when it came out, didn't like it much (in part due to the violence), and since then hadn't tried any FPS games until I picked up Deus Ex last month. And I loved it, particularly the stealth / nonlethal aspects. I did download the Deus Exe version, the OpenGL 10 support, and the New Vision textures, and thought it looked really good. My kids really enjoyed watching me play, too. :-)

Awesome game. On top of the gameplay(which gave the player an unprecedented amount of freedom), it's also got one of the most well built, deep, intriguing game worlds I've ever seen.....With things like global electronic surveillance, shadowy groups manipulating entire governments for mutual benefit, genetic engineering, nanotechnology and... Wait, are we still talking about a game here?
