Maybe the greatest single player game ever...
Let's get one thing strait. System Shock2 is THE greatest first person Shooter ever. No, not half-life, not any of the quakes, nor any other's you can think of. In my eyes, System Shock 2 joins Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy 7 as the only elite of perfect games. These are games that do... Read full review »
Could've been more.
I loved, and was enthralled with the first System Shock game. It being one of the few games, I've ever played through twice, in this disposable no-replay value era of computer gaming.
System Shock 2 has alot of the same elements of the first (dynamic story, characters seeming to talk...

System Shock 2: a shock to your Nervous System
System Shock 2 is an excellent hybrid between an RPG and a first person shooter. The skills you acquire or lack thereof allow, inhibit, or facilitate certain acts such as firing an assault rifle or hacking a security system. You can increase your skills at certain points in the game. This is a... Read full review »
The horrible ending shocked me
My friend works for Looking Glass and told me to try it since he knew it was going to be a good game so I did. I played single player for a while and got pretty bored with it somewhere in the middle, so I started over when the co op patch finally came out. My friend and I beat the game after about...

Guns and Puzzles
Unlike many of it's predecessors, including Half-Life, System Shock 2 is a real "man's game" for the thinking man. You get guns, big ones and little ones, and you get puzzles, big ones and little ones too. The benefit is that this game makes the breach between the blood and gore killing of... Read full review »
System Shock 2... are you ready for this?
In a few words this game has done what other games have tried so hard to achieve. The gameplay is a first-person shooter and the story plot is very facinating.
- The graphics are great (I would reccomend a 32meg video card or higher)
- The sound is out of this world, literally (They...

Genere defining game
This is the kind of game that will cause you do go out and buy a new computer system just so you can enjoy it. I played this game through a while ago and I seem to go back and replay it often (very rare for me). Another game that uses this same theme is Dues Ex (also an excellent game). Those two...

System Shock 2 review - "Astounding"
You wake alone in the dark, aboard a spooky derelict starship littered with the ghosts (figurative and literal) of its crew, to find yourself sporting extensive cybernetic modifications you do not remember requesting. Your only contacts with the living are fleeting glimpses, usually as they are... Read full review »
Wanted: One Pair Of Underwear
Let me paint you a picture.
After about 20 or so minutes of playing the new game you bought at the request of a write-up you read on epinions.com, you have already made some changes to System Shock 2. First, you have started over on easy difficulty. Second, you have turned the gamma WAY...

System Shock 2
It's the future, of course, and you're stationed aboard the spaceship Van Braun, waiting for your first soldiering assignment. Luckily, the future resembles the best of science fiction from the last 10 years--something plucked from Blade Runner with pieces from the The Fifth Element (only with an AI-enabled computer/self- proclaimed goddess running the show). The universe is run by unbelievably huge corporations, and in one of the biggest (TriOptimum), a hacker is breaking the rules. The result is SHODAN, a supercomputer whose beautiful, eerie face glimmers from the box's cover. The engine used for Thief: The Dark Project, ensures that System Shock 2 hums along on systems with the basic requirements. With a superior plot and engaging, Asian-inspired aesthetics, System Shock 2 is a visceral, visual treat of a first-person role-playing game. All the devices that in theory seem stale and stupid come to life in this game. It's as if you could go back to the 1970s and take a vision of what the future would look like--and make it believable and cool. All the whirs and beeps and pulsing noises sound realistic. In addition, the designers have added in all the creepy elements we never wanted to have come true--such as the voiceovers that greet you when you're at the airport--only in this case, you're visiting the training sessions held by the United National Nominate. Suffice it to say, the future of humankind is in your hands. With an excellent supporting cast and well-realized sci-fi visuals, System Shock 2 offers insight into an amazing new world order. --Jennifer Buckendorff
