    System Shock 2 is the most atmospheric game ive ever played

    Masterpiece is the first word that comes out of my mouth when i talk about it. The whole aspect of the game is just mind-blowing. System Shock 2 is an extreme inspiration to Bioshock(if your wondering), so if you love Bioshock, then you'll love this 1999 Game of the Year, in my opinion. Almost every thing in the game is the same idea in Bioshock.
     
    Gameplay------ Superb, from the combat to the amazing upgrading system. Theres so many different ways to upgrade that that alone is THE reason to come back for more.  9.5/10
     
    Graphics and sound------ Great looking game except for the character's faces. Amazing spaceship detail and unreal level design. 9/10
     
    Controls---- Nearly perfect for a decade old game. 10/10
     
    Story----- Dialog thats out of this world ,literally, cause your in space ooooooooo. But seriously great told story because of the jaw dropping atmosphere. 10/10
     
    Recommendation----- Anyone who likes an unbelievable experience HAS to HAS to beat it atleast twice.  10/10
     
     Overall 10/10 Seriously, its hard to write a review of this classic masterpiece, cause thers no words to describe how Outstanding it is with next to NO flaws. One of the greatest gaming experiences ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
     
    man...im a horrible reviewer :)

      Bioshock, bah! 0

      I must confess that I only played through System Shock 2, released way back in 1999, for the first time just last week. While this could be considered sacrilege by other hard core PC gamers like myself, back then I was dirt poor university student who could only afford the occasional title, and a First Person Shooter (FPS) / Role Playing Game (RPG) hybrid didn't really appeal to me. Not to mention I was still deeply addicted to Starcraft which was released the year before. Of course I'm kicking ...

      System Shock 2 0

      System Shock 2 is an interesting game to review in 2013. When it first came out in 1999, it was met with a lot of praise from the gaming press, winning over a dozen awards, including several “Game of the Year” titles, and since then it has appeared on several “Greatest Games of All Time” lists. However despite the praise, not many people actually bought and played it.It feels like System Shock 2 has been granted a second chance though. The success Irrational Games has had with BioShock and BioSh...
