    Who cares that the graphics aren't A1? You won't when you get sucked in. This game had developers and writers who can think -- it's full of politics, concepts, jokes, tension. For the sake of future gaming, this deserves to be bought by everyone who cares.

    Without a doubt, nothing can touch this game. You can talk about your Halo or you Zelda, Deus Ex blows them both away. A top, top game.

    My God! for ages i've waited but it was worth it. may not be the best conversion but graphics don't make a game. Deus Ex should be compared to similar games on the same system not the same game of different systems. It's like comparing a DVD to VHS. And in my opinion this game is the best FPS on ps2, better enemies than half life, and the you choose how to complete the missions is superb. A must for every ps2 owner who loves FP shooters.… Expand

    GRAPHICS The graphics of PlayStation DX are truly amazing. The faces and character models have been improved and everything looks much smoother than the PC version. STORY Plot has always been good in Deus Ex. At the start you're a UNATCO (United Nations Anti Terrorist Coalition) agent named JC Denton. It's your first day and you have to reclaim the Statue of Liberty from the clutches of the NSF (Nation Secessionist Force). But as the conspiracy unfolds you will find that not all is what you might think... GAMEPLAY The music is tense just like the PC game but it is actually a little easier, possibly because the PS2 Analogue DualShock isn't as huge and therefore daunting as the PC keyboard. LIFESPAN Completed Deus Ex? Doubt it. Go back and say something different. It'll be a completely different game.… Expand

    Who cares about the dated looking graphics? they aren't that bad, and they aren't headache-inducing, so the critics should quit their bitching about them. the gameplay and story are absolutely brilliant, and the game is so much fun to play because of the high number of ways of accomplishing a goal. once you start playing, you'll have trouble trying to stop. a must-buy, especially now that the game is $20 or less. (i got a used one for $10.) 10/10… Expand

    Not the greatest of ports, however it is still the greatest game on the Playstation 2 and possibly the greatest ever made to date (2012). You just got to look past those dated graphics, and read between the lines. I strongly reccomend the PC version though for the full experience, much quicker loading times and some fantastic mods, most notably New Vision + Biomod.

    This fitted very well at time because most people didn't have a computer or a had one not good enough for playing Deus Ex. It's a satisfactory port of the original game, with improved music and graphics. The loading times are not so big and the controls are good, with the possibility to plug in a keyboard or a mouse to play like in PC. Nevertheless, nowadays every PC is good enough to play this masterpiece without losing any second with loading times, so this port isn't necessary anymore, but at time, was an useful and well-made Playstation 2 port of one the best games ever made… Expand

    This is the best piece of software ever -- it makes Halo look like a game. Some game offers replayability, but this IS replayability; it's designed to be experienced more than once! When I heard DX2 would be available on the Xbox, I got an Xbox for that reason alone. God, what a bargain.

    Despite the dated graphics, the combination of FPS, RPG, and adventure are so well combined and executed that the results are shockingly astonishing. A 30-40 hrs. rpg/fps experience that is highly recommendable.

    A good game for the PS2, This game got me to play the original PC game and I do not regret playing either one. This game opened my mind to the concept of an open game where you actually have a huge impact on the world.

    Ooo...not a great port. What the hell is that "The Conspiracy" doing there, for a start? Like, duh, Beavis. Really, really, really, really good game, but on the PS2, not so much. Get the PC version. Hmm? Well, then, get a PC. Hmm? Trust me, it's worth getting a PC for Deus Ex alone.

    A decent port of a great game. Looking at this it's baffling as to why they had to dumb down Invisible War to make it work on consoles when the straight PC->PS2 port worked so well.

    While it has good ideas but Deus Ex is just to mediocre for me to recommend this, the story isn't all that interesting, the graphics are ugly, I know it's an older game but i've seen games on this system that came out before this one that look better, the sound is ok, but the voice work is horrible, and the gameplay is your basic FPS, but allows you to approach a situation anyway you see fit, which is good but is just to boring, honestly if you can overlook these flaws you may like this game but others should avoid.… Expand

    Deus Ex undoubtedly has one of the best gameplay mechanics seen for ages. But the story is quite, how you say, tawdry. In reality, the story just sort of gets out of control and, well, starts feeling colligated. As far as replayability goes, in games that reward the searcher, I typically do everything the first time and, well, I found my pistol sniping method too effective to resort to

    It's very complicated yet highly accessible and features the kind of attention to detail that consoles just have never witnessed before.

    Is there depth and brilliance in this? You're damn right there is. [May 2002, p.80]

    One of the best PC games of 2000 is ported faithfully to the PS2. Upgrade your character's skills and attributes to your liking. [Feb 2003, p.92]
