 Great game with some minor flaws..., 2002-03-30
Deus Ex...one of those rare gems that help define a genre. Sure, the graphics are dated (even when the game first came out, it was already behind the times). But what the game didn't have in "gee-whiz" graphics, it more than made up for in the "I'm-going-to-stay-up-until-5am-in-the-morning-because-I-want-to-see-what-happens-next." area. In other words, this game has a plot *so* thick, you could practically touch it.PLEASE NOTE: I've tried to push this game on a lot of people. Something I've noticed is that some people quit the game during the first/second mission because the game has a rather slow pace in the beginning.

 Godawful, 2002-03-21
This game comes complete with 1) a really stupid background story, and 2) gameplay that equals "run around and kill things while waiting for the game to feed you another clue". The attempt at future noir is half-baked, the character models are drab, and the in-game cutscenes are horrible and embarrassing. Typical computer world populated by about 30 people.

Best mix of FPS and RPG yet, 2002-03-07
I instantly got addicted to this game. I enjoy the RPG/FPS genre and stick almost exclusively to it. Often I give up on games because I get into situations where I'm out of health or ammo, meet an enemy I can't kill because they're only killed by freezing (or something like that) and my character is a swordsman, need potions (hate majic games) or there weren't enough save game slots to get back to where I can plan better and recover.This game covered all that. Plenty of health packs and other ways to recover. Plenty of weapons and ammo to be found as you increase in levels. You can get out of a bad situation and hide until the enemies think you've fled, and return to a safe area, regroup and hit them again. You can open doors by knowing the code, picking the lock, or blowing it apart. All methods have varying results. You can kill an enemy via hand-to-hand, power (big gun) or try to snipe him from 1500 feet away (if you found the scope). If you don't have the skill(s), you just need to be closer. You increase health by medpacks, food, or med-bots throughout the game. You can also choose to augment your character to be self-healing. Simply, the game is extremely challenging while at the same time not giving you any excuse not to continue through to the end.
The storyline is interesting as it flows, and presents multiple options (kill him/let him live, etc) which affect gameplay for a while, although it won't affect the ending. There's just no downside to this game. Looking forward to DE2!
