Summary

Probably the greatest game of all time

The Good

What's not to like? Awesome atmosphere, gameplay and graphics (for its time). Each and every time I play this, and I've played it many, many times now, I find new things to marvel at - it's a classic design that has yet to be matched.

The Bad

Probably the biggest flaw in System Shock is the music. It's irritating, but thankfully it can be turned off. Also, some people have real trouble using the interface, but with some practice it's possible to adapt to.

The Bottom Line

System Shock is the ultimate game. It's an immersive RPG, with a touch of action thrown in, and it's incredibly addictive. God only knows the brilliance of games we could be playing now had Shock received more attention than its contemporary, Doom.
