Nothing compares to the experience of System Shock 2. One of my favorite games. System Shock 2 (commonly abbreviated SS2) is a science fiction horror-themed first-person shooter which incorporates a number of elements commonly seen in computer role-playing games. It was developed by Looking Glass Studios and Looking Glass offshoot Irrational Games, and was released on August 11, 1999 by publisher Electronic Arts. It is a direct sequel to the seminal 1994 Looking Glass Studios computer game System Shock, with which it shares the same hybrid gameplay style. The game appears on a number of "Best Games of All Time" lists and has a strong fan base.
I loved how engrossing the game was just based off the superbly acted out audio logs. Actually the entire sonic sound scape of the game was amazing.
This game reminds me of one of those movies where the hero has to do something really simple but before he can do that he has to do something else, and before he can do that, he has to... I mean, your original goal is to get on a freaking elevator. 30 hours of game play later, you're still not there.
Despite some dated looking particle effects, this game still looks and sounds really good!
