 GAMES: 
The game that incorporates RPG, action, adventure, and 1st-person shooter genres into a chaotic blend of real-world conspiracies, cliffhangers, and plot twists. A richly simulated world of unparalleled interactivity, engineered to react logically to your every action. The decisions and consequences are yours. [Eidos Interactive]

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

Quandary
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.

Games Radar UK (Pre-2006)
Near-perfect in every conceivable way, "Deus Ex" is pure gaming ambrosia. As in food of the gods, not tinned rice pudding.

Adrenaline Vault
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.

GamePro
Cheesy voice-acting by minor characters is the only real flaw here.
100
FHM
The story is gripping from beginning to end.

Daily Radar
For a complete package of plot, style, depth and action, few games rival "Deus Ex."
98
PC Gameworld
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."
96
Gamer's Pulse
This is the kind of game hard-core gamers dream of.
95
Electric Playground
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.
94
FiringSquad
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.
94
IGN
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...
94
PC Gamer
A must-own...a rare and rewarding game for fans of the genre. [Sept 2000, p.82]
91
Game Revolution
It is, as a game, everything you could ask for... and it's absolutely a blast to play.
91
Gaming Age
An amazingly well put together role playing adventure that is easily one of the first candidates for game of the year.
90
GameZone
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.
90
CheckOut
"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.
90
Computer Games Magazine
Despite a few small complaints about inconsistent AI or disappointing Direct3D performance, this is a tremendously entertaining game.
90
Hot Games
As good as any other espionage thriller out there, "Deus Ex" is bolstered by a fantastic storyline.
90
Spank!
Blending RPG features seamlessly with action elements and wrapping it all up with one of the better narratives to grace a PC game.
88
GameSpy
You'll come away from Deus Ex with the sense that you could actually be a real anti-terrorist agent in UNATCO. Well, maybe. I wouldn't advise quitting your day job.
84
Da Gameboyz
A blend of action and stealth, "Deus Ex" brings you a great package of features and excellent replayability.
82
GameSpot
Though the game uses Epic Games' Unreal engine, which was once lauded for its exceptional visual quality, "Deus Ex" is actually a fairly bland-looking game because of its incessantly dark industrial environments.
80
Armchair Empire
A good game for people who like to immerse themselves in their play, but is definitely not for casual gamers.
80
TotalGames.net
Its claims to be a truly interactive experience are wishful thinking, it’s still a pretty linear game. Although there are different ways to accomplish things, the ultimate goal remains much the same.
80
CNET Gamecenter
Oftentimes brilliant, sometimes frustrating, and always riveting, "Deus Ex" could be game-of-the-year material if not for its many glaring flaws.
75
Happy Puppy
The storyline is immediately absorbing, and is a nice break from the typical run 'n' gun first-person shooter.
75
Cincinnati Enquirer
Every time your character is killed and you restart the game, you have to sit through a seemingly endless series of movies that re-establish the plot.
