Reviews:

EuroGamer by John "Gesalt" Bye

"The game itself is structurally similar to Rainbow Six, with you taking the role of a member of an elite anti-terrorist force known as UNATCO in a near-future world of chaos, conspiracies and cybernetics. You play through a linear series of missions which progress the storyline and provide you with more goodies.

"What makes the game unique though is that within a given mission you have a wide range of ways of completing your task. For example, you find a locked door guarded by a turret activated by a camera. You can blow up the turret and blast your way in through the door with explosive charges. You can hack into the security terminal round the corner, deactivate the camera and open the door. You can sneak up to the camera and bypass it, then pick the door's lock. You can find an NPC who can give you a key to open the door...

"And this is just for one door in the very first level of the game!"

"...you will visit real world cities like Paris, New York, and Hong Kong. The first level starts you off on Liberty Island, trying to find a way into the Statue of Liberty where terrorists are holding one of your colleagues hostage. The entire island is modelled in impressive detail, and the New York skyline is visible beyond."

"...Deus Ex looks like being a System Shock 2 for the year 2000, with a more realistic setting, better graphics, stronger RPG elements, more freedom of action, and a more involving storyline.

" And you can't give a game much more praise than that... "
