Review of Deus Ex

Deus Ex (2000 Video Game)
One of the best video games I've ever played....

You know, I didn't even realize there were entries for video games on this site, but if there were one game I would want to turn into a movie, it would be Deus Ex, the immersive first-person RPG shooter game from Ion Storm. In this game, the player assumes the role of J.C. Denton, a genetically augmented agent who works for a shadowy government group. When J.C. finds out his brother is aiding a militant faction that J.C. is ordered to destroy, he must choose his allegiances and uncover a government conspiracy that goes all the way to the highest levels of government. What makes this game so unique is that you can do almost anything in this game. Can't open a door? Blow it up! Can't jump across a gap? Use your augmentations to boost you across! Too many enemies fighting you? Use a scramble to get robot allies on your side! What also sets this game apart from the rest is that you have a free-form environment to interact with. You can talk to anyone, go (almost) anywhere, and do pretty much anything. The voice acting is top-notch, and the plot always leaves you begging for more.

Bottom Line: If you're looking for a good action game to pass the time, you won't do much better than this. A similar title you should also play is the game System Shock 2.
