This game has everything and what a unique setting. The developers put a lot of effort into drawing you into the game's world and premise. Imagine you work on the 40th floor of an office but, when you arrive in the morning, the elevator is busted. What do you do? You take the stairs.

For those wondering, this version of the game incorporates the modifications from the fan-made System Shock Portable. While this has (understandably) caused some controversy, it is worth noting that this is an actual port for modern systems. That means no more dealing with DosBox's framerate or lower resolution. It is also mod-ready out of the box and provides options to enhance voxels, etc. Finally, the team appears to have ironed out many of the game-crashing bugs present in the original. In short, although I was initially expecting a lazy conversion of SSP, I was pleasantly surprised. As to the quality of the game, see the other reviews. The game has excellent, cyberpunk atmosphere, a fantastic, dynamic soundtrack, and fun combat, requiring use of modifications and different weapon types. If you are a fan of the immersive storyline of SS2 and don't mind somewhat dated graphics, you should try this game.
