My jaw hit the floor when I saw the email announcing this.

I immediately purchased a copy for myself and am downloading it now. As much as I've enjoyed the Dead Space games and Bioshock games, they have NOTHING on System Shock 2.

**Ouze**

Heyy now! I thought Bioshock had a deeper story then SS2.

That being said, if you're reading this and have never played it, I think SS2 is one of the greatest games of all time and you should get it.

**Macok**

Cool, thanks for the info.

Bioshock had a better twist, but SS2 had a much better feel to it. The Many > Splicers, that's not even the same league.
The quotes from the SS2. They are fantastic.
If they made SS2 with Bio graphics I'd have a fatal nerdgasm.

**MrDwhitey**

Yeah, I bought it immediately, and downloaded around 5 graphical update mods. They all work!

**Doctadeth**

Also, if you have aranaphobia of ANY kinda, download the invisible spiders elimination patch. Otherwise you'll hate the game.

**MrDwhitey**

Thanks for that Docta.

**Soladrin**

Will be getting once I run out of stuff to play.

Been ages since I last played it.

Could you post the links to them?

EDIT:
Has anyone played multiplayer? Is it any fun? What difficulty level is would you propose for one vet and one fist time player? I don't want it to be easy but don't want to have too few manites for both of us.

**MrMoustaffa**

I've always heard about it, but heard the original ran like death on modern computers. Let us know how it runs on a modern PC, I might buy it out of curiosity.

Loved Bioshock and since everyone says this is superior to that I pretty much have to give it a try

**Doctadeth**

For the multiplayer, it is actually quite easy once you get past sharing every skeric of ammunition. Also, either designate one guy psi-ops and one guy rifleman, or do a rifleman/heavy combo.

**Ratius**

Its an utter classic but hasnt aged well Im afraid.
Replayed it last year and its a bit clunky and sluggish.

But if cheap go for it, have very happy memories of it back from when.

I wonder if anyones Gfx/engine modded it ala Deus Ex 1 etc?
