Game: Deus Ex Category: FPS, RPG Developer: Ion Storm Publisher: Eidos Interactive Platform: Win32, Mac, PS2 Released: 06/22/2000 ESRP: Mature Rating: 90%

Setting:
The year is 2052 and the world is a dangerous and chaotic place. Thousands of people are dying every day due to terrorists, drugs, disease and pollution. The world's economies are close to collapse and the gap between the insanely wealthy and the desperately poor grows ever wider. Worst of all, an ages old conspiracy bent on world domination has decided that the time is right to emerge from the shadows and take control. No one believes they exist, well no one but you.

Review:
Playing as rookie UNATCO agent J.C. Denton, you will use your nanotech-enhanced body and mind to fight the enemy. During the missions Denton improves his skills, receives additional bionic enhancements and plays with many sorts of equipment as the game develops. The intriguing story takes you from New York to Hong Kong, from Paris to secret labs, for over forty hours of exploration.

While Deus Ex looks like a FPS there are several puzzles to solve and clues to uncover as the story progresses. The extensive Statistics system and detailed inventory including tools, weapons, and assorted weapon mods give this game a challenging RPG feel as well. The story is huge and will take you all over the world.

This game has a great and in depth story line, and allows for many different styles of play. One could play this game and kill everything, or leave most people untouched or unconscious. Some of your choices do impact things in the game, or how the game ends.

System Requirements:
As always the better system the better performance.
