    Deus Ex gives you tons of options in finishing levels, as well as gives many side quests to keep you entertained, though the endings were quite disappointing.

    This is certainly a runner-up candidate for RPG game of the year (next to Knights of the Old Republic and Morrowind). Although, it is a bit more linear than a traditional RPG, it does offer some FPShooter thrills. The story, mood, graphics, and gameplay make it almost as involving as Halo and KOTOR -- you just want to see how it ends. Also, you must give credit to Warren Spector for making a game where you can use several different options (stealth, combat, social skills, biomods, robots) to acheive most any objective. In that respect, I tell people this is "KOTOR meets Splinter Cell", and favorably place it among those highly regarded works as among the best the Xbox offers. Expand

  1. 8 / 7 / 8 / 8 - 31 silver [Vol 810; 25 June 2004]
  2. No better and no worse a game than its predecessor, and there's absolutely no shame in that. And it's no airport novel, as it requires some serious time investment.
  3. Gorgeous to behold, boasting dynamic lights, shadows, and interactive environments, making it relatively easy to suspend disbelief. [Mar 2004, p.64]
