Product Description

Amazon.com

The year is 2052 and the world is a dangerous and chaotic place. Terrorists operate openly, killing thousands; drugs, disease, and pollution kill even more. The world's economics are close to collapse, and the gap between the insanely wealthy and the desperately poor has grown to the size of the Grand Canyon. 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 the conspiracy exists--no one but you.

In this thrilling role-playing adventure, you play the part of J.C. Denton, a powerful, nanotechnologically augmented antiterrorist agent. It's up to you to stop the conspirators from achieving their goals. But this world is full of lies and betrayal, a world where nothing is as it seems and entire nations can seemingly be turned against you at the push of a button. To succeed, you must travel the globe in a quest for knowledge, develop your character's nanotech augmentations and strengths as you see fit, build a network of allies to assist you, and determine when stealth and strategy are more important than action. And each time you think you've got the mystery solved, the game figured out, there's another, deeper mystery to be unraveled. You will never know whom to trust, who your friends are, who's in the conspiracy, and who's innocent. Maybe no one is.

Solid,yet nothing special

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2000

Platform For Display: PCEdition: Standard

The good points to this game are the way the storyline is played out. It is a good game with solid gameplay and if you are a first person shooter fan, I would say it is worth the money. The downsides are it uses the outdated "Unreal" game engine and I would have to say the graphics are unimpressive with a noticeable slowdown in framerates when alot of textures are displayed or when you look over "long" distances. The enemys seem to die easier hitting them with a crowbar than shooting them with a shotgun or rifle. I just run around half the time wacking away with my crowbar. Many times it takes 2 clips of ammo to put someone down. All in all, a good play with nothing great to offer.

A real gem, must buy

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2000

Platform For Display: PCEdition: Standard

I feel bad not giving this game five stars, it's certainly one of the best I've seen in a long time and I can't believe I haven't heard more buzz about it. I bought the game based on the other reviews here, and I have to say, they're right on target.
Deus Ex really delivers serious gaming fun. It's like a game with an X-Files-esque plot (without the aliens), Rogue Spear gaming (strategic FPS), and Soldier of Fortune(action-oriented FPS). It really delivers and gives the player the opportunity to take a balls-out, guns blazing approach or a more stealthy, sneaky method to get what you need done (either way, you get just as much skill points, so you're not penalized for not getting a maximum body count).
The graphics are great. Nothing particularly revolutionary (as with Vampire) but definitely nothing to complain about. Generally very smooth with lots of detail, nice lighting, good atmosphere (you really don't see this on a lot of the screenshots). The plasma gun really has a nice effect, as do the grenades, but when things blow up (like crates) it's just a bunch of polygons (yawn). I guess we can't expect all games to have the detail (and gore) of Soldier of Fortune.
There are a few holes in the plot (such as it's feasibility), but with a little willful suspension of disbelief, it's rather engrossing. (I've had more than my fair share of 5+/hour playing sessions with this puppy.) Travelling from New York to Hong Kong to Nevada, you'll see plenty of places and meet enough interesting characters to keep you going. I don't know if different responses to conversations give you significant variances in the plot, but it's interesting all the same--especially the different ways you can solve your missions.
I've become very picky in terms of the games I buy, I don't have a lot of time to play them and I don't have a lot of money to spend on them, so they've got to be good. This is one of those games I am delighted to have bought and -certainly- recommend to others.
The only reason this didn't get five stars is because of the unplausible premise in the plot and the lack of anything really ground-breaking in the realm of gaming (though, I'll admit, this is one of the best games I've ever seen at really having the feel of an authentic RPG.)

This kind of game has been done to death. There is nothing original here, the graphics arent that great, the game play is sloppy and the cut scenes are less than impressive. Words of wisdom, save your money.

I sometimes wonder if a game is capable of becoming art. Yes, a ridiculous thought, I know. But if a game could, Deus Ex comes damn close.

Durch die verschiedenen Speicherpunkte kann man alles noch einmal anderes durchspielen. Ich find's saugeil.
Heutzutage läuft es auf 1600 x 900 auf meinem Notebook superflüssig. Die Grafik ist nicht der Hit, ist aber bei diesem Spiel (Kult!) nur Nebensache!
