Re: Deus Ex

Yeah it's nowt special at first (The New York level) but you just need to stick with it. When you get to Hong Kong everything starts going tits up and you find youself getting hunted by the people you were fighting for.

As I say though it's the story more than anything that draws you in, you actually want to know what's going on rather than just wanting to play the game.

It's an iconic game to be honest, check out some reviews on it, I reckon it's probably in most games' mags top-10 of all time.

"The title has a great storyline, full of intrigue, back-stabbing, secret agendas, political struggles, and social commentary that is so powerful that it will surely overpower the free time of its players. It doesn't matter what style of game you prefer -- action, RPG, or tactical combat -- since Deus Ex has enough of each of those to please even the most prejudiced user."
Deus Ex has earned a number of awards and many nominations, including over a dozen Game of the Year and/or best in its class awards.[45] This includes awards from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, IGN, GameSpy, PC Gamer, Computer Gaming World, and The Adrenaline Vault, among many others.[5][46][47] Deus Ex was also awarded "Excellence in Game Design", and "Game Innovation Spotlight" at the 2000 Game Developers Choice Awards and won in the "Computer Innovation" and "Computer Action/Adventure" categories at the Interactive Achievement Awards.[6][48][49] It has additionally received many Best Story accolades, including first prize in the 2006 Gamasutra "Quantum Leap" awards for storytelling in a video game.[50][51]

Deus Ex has appeared in a number of greatest games of all time lists and hall of fame features, placing in the top thirty for most, and in the top ten for many. This includes numerous IGN 100 Greatest Games of All Time lists,[52][53][54] GameSpy's Top 50 Games of All Time,[55] 25 Most Memorable Games of the Past 5 Years,[56] and Hall of Fame,[57] numerous PC Gamer Top 50 PC Games lists,[58][59] Yahoo! UK Video Games' 100 Greatest Computer Games of All Time,[60] and in GameFAQs' Top 100 Games of All Time.[61]
