Deus Ex PC Game Review by Kenneth Hynes

Deus Ex was a grounbreaking Pc game when released back in 2000. It is a FPS (First Person Shooter)/ RPG (Role Playing Game) hybrid. The story is set in the 2050's and is seen through the eyes of JC Denton, an rookie agent working for U.N.A.T.C.O. ( United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition ). JC Denton is not entirely human though. He is a cyborg meaning that he is mixture of human and robotic body parts. UNTACO are currently at war with a group named the N.S.F. who are considered to be terrorists. As the Plot develops JC is in conflict with where his loyalties stand, multi-layered conspiricies are revealed and you constantly ask yourself who can you trust?.
When the game was released its graphics were considered outdated but it also received critical acclaim for its complex and engaging storyline and also for its cyberpunk themed soundtrack. The story consists of many plot twists as well as a intricate dialog system which gave the player many choices when speaking to a character in the game, this dialog system gave you so many choices that the game had 6 different endings. Many believed this rivaled and in some cases exceled in comparison to a movie script. It is considered by many computer game magazines to be the best PC game of all time and in my opinion it is the best PC game of all time.
