A masterpiece of our times.
Its been a very long time since I first played this game and man the hours I have wasted away on it since then. I must have played it through eight or more times and I have never got tired of it. Set in the future (around the 2050's) you play JC Denton. An agent who has just started work for UNATCO (united nations anti terrorist coalition). You are however, an agent with a twist. You have been upgraded with some of the latest and most advanced nano-augmentations ever made. This gives you somewhat of an edge and some cool glowing eyes to match! The story continues as you would expect in any other high end rpg until it all goes wrong for your character! A series of events occur and all of a sudden you are caught in the middle of a gigantic conspiracy which could have global consequences. As you travel from continent to continent hunting for the truth you gain more powerful weapons, better nano upgrades and a group of friends who will help you on your quest to get to the bottom of this international incident which traces its roots back hundreds of years.
Although now the graphics seem dated it does not taint the game at all. The sound is still pretty good, with the Deus Ex score being one of the most memorable in modern gaming. If you are one of the people who has not played this game I strongly urge you to do so. It is years ahead of its sorry sequel and it will set you up for the hopeful release of Deus Ex 3 in a year or so.
