Death of PC Gaming
Good Game, but installs a virus that is hard to remove from your PC and can open security holes in your system.

Excellent FPS
I am running this game on an older XP computer with a 7600GT video card at pretty high settings and it looks and runs fantastic. Gameplay, controls, story, music, special effects are all top-notch. Loads of fun. Installation and patching was smooth. I am using a "no-dvd" executable and all is well without having to keep the DVD in the player all the time. This game often goes on sale at Amazon for $19.99, which is a good deal. Highly recommended.

I am a huge fan of System Shock - but I won't RENT this game
I was a huge fan of System Shock 2 - this game's previous version.
But I won't spend money on this game - for many reasons:
1) When I BUY a game i buy it - I do not rent it. This game only allows five activations - that means, in a few years, once I hit the fifth activation I can no longer install it. I do not rent games - I buy them.
2) On-line activation and phoning home by SecureROM - I won't let an application do this.
3) SecureROM is very difficult to remove - why should I allow a program to be placed on MY computer just to play a game? Why should it be so difficult to remove? My computer is my property - I don't want applications (spyware) being installed on my computer just to play a game. Why do game publishers treat customers worse than Pirates? If I downloaded a cracked version of the game I wouldn't have to deal with SecureROM - why should I have to deal with it?
4) DVD must be inserted to play - very annoying when I want to play on my laptop - this effectively burns through the battery in less than 1/2 of the time. Annoying and idiotic.

PC version unplayable! (console version was fun though)
I bought this not from Amazon but from Steam. I've tried on three different OS installs, not a single one will get past the SecureROM DRM nonsense! The tech support is nonresponsive, I can't return it, I'm basically out $50 (I bought it when it came out).
I eventually bought it AGAIN for Xbox360. Although I hate playing shooters on consoles, the game itself is quite fun and well done. Not sure how to rate it though -- 0% for unplayable PC version, 97% for a playable version.

One of the best games ever!
This will always be one of my favorites. It installed smoothly and runs great. The creepy environments, original storyline, and just about everything else blew me away. I didn't want it to end. Minutely resembles thief: deadly shadows atmosphere (a very good thing). A must have for sci-fi and fps fans!!
