played System Shock 2

Post by XMEN Gambit »

And it was rather, um, intense.<br><br>If you ever played through the single-player story of Half-life, it is in some ways a shadow of this. Yikes. All the action and much more character development going on, and not just two groups of "bad guys" to deal with (the black ops and the aliens), now you have two unstoppable forces to stop. Plenty of scare-your-pants-off surprises around lots of corners, both scripted and unscripted.<br><br>Yes, it's an old game (1999), but the graphics aren't bad at all. And it's kinda tough, too. I played on only the second of four difficulty settings, and it was still hard. Replayability? I didn't get to try near the number of things I'd have liked to. And it was LONG, for an action game.<br><br>Bug, I know you've been an advocate of this game for a long time, and it took me a while to get it, but wow.<br><br>Find it in your local bargain bin for $10 or so. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.xmenclan.org/xmengambit.gif"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>XMEN member<br>Card-carrying DTM<br>OKL Fish-napper<br><br>Though a program be but three lines long, someday it will have to be maintained.<br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em> The Tao of Programming</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--></p><i></i>

Indeed. I bought it when it first came out at full price, and I still don't regret it. It's probably the only game I own that I haven't beaten, not because I lost interest, but because I was too scared to open the next door. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><center><table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=5><td><img border="0" src="http://www.xmenclan.org/avatars/t2red.g ... ><td><font size=5>RedSirus<a href=mailto:redsirus@dragontalonmercs.com>@</a></font><br><br><a target=_top href=http://www.dragontalonmercs.com>Dragon Talon Mercenary</a> > <a target=_top href=http://server2.ezboard.com/bdragontalon ... ><br><font size=2><a target=_top href=http://pub18.ezboard.com/bdtmonlinecommunity>DTM Community</a> > <a target=_top href=http://pub18.ezboard.com/fdtmonlinecomm ... s>RedSirus' Reviews</a></font><br><br><a target=_top href=http://www.xmenclan.org>Brainwashed Fishmonger</a> > <a target=_top href=http://pub3.ezboard.com/bxmenclan>Forum ... </p><i></i>

I played the demo... but forgot about it before I had the money to buy it. I actually found out about System Shock 2 when looking for the original... it was the first action game I had ever seen where you could lean left or right... and it had a cool inventory system and some other neat stuff... <p><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:red;font-size:large;">C</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:orange;font-size:large;">O</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:green;font-size:large;">L</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:blue;font-size:large;">O</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:indigo;font-size:large;">R</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:violet;font-size:large;">S</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:pink;font-size:xx-large;">!</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--></p><i></i>
