Deus Ex Critic Reviews

Moody and atmospheric, compelling and addictive, this is first person gaming in grown-up form, and it truly is magnificent.

Are you a fan of conspiracy theories? Is the Grey Death a manufactured plague? Have you perchance heard of the Illuminati, or the clandestine Majestic 12 group? In that case, you've found the right game. It may not answer all those questions, but it certainly pushes the right buttons.

The story is gripping from beginning to end.

Cheesy voice-acting by minor characters is the only real flaw here.

Near-perfect in every conceivable way, "Deus Ex" is pure gaming ambrosia. As in food of the gods, not tinned rice pudding.

If you're looking for one of those rare experiences that affects your mind, body and soul in ways only the greatest of releases can, look no further than "Deus Ex" -- it will consume you.

For a complete package of plot, style, depth and action, few games rival "Deus Ex."

This is an incredibly well done game, with a multitude of possibilities, and one of the greatest replay values I've ever witnessed in a game since at any time during the game you have to say to yourself, "I wonder what else could have happened back there."

This is the kind of game hard-core gamers dream of.

Just as "Half-life" and "Unreal" revolutionized the action genre, Deus Ex takes us to the next step and ushers in the Age of the Interactive.

Deus Ex has raised the standard for first person adventure games with its open ended design, and seamless integration of the story into the game play.

With all of the plot twists and branching character paths, this is one game that you'll definitely want to play through after you finish...again and again and again...

A must-own...a rare and rewarding game for fans of the genre.

It is, as a game, everything you could ask for... and it's absolutely a blast to play.

An amazingly well put together role playing adventure that is easily one of the first candidates for game of the year.

"Deus Ex," Spector's latest epic, raises the bar once again with a twisting storyline, ingenious character development system and a linear game that somehow manages to feel open-ended.

As good as any other espionage thriller out there, "Deus Ex" is bolstered by a fantastic storyline.

Despite a few small complaints about inconsistent AI or disappointing Direct3D performance, this is a tremendously entertaining game.

Blending RPG features seamlessly with action elements and wrapping it all up with one of the better narratives to grace a PC game.

Compelling, great to look at, and a whole lot of fun to play. The options package gives the gamer solid control over the elements of the game and the storyline builds with each mission completed.
