System Shock is a First Person Shooter but it isn't your traditional run and gun game. Shaking from adrenalin and information overload, you scarcely have time to think before SHODAN unleashes yet another terror.
Multi-function displays pump information to the screen, describing artifacts, warning of biohazards and radiation, analyzing targeted foes, and decrypting cyberspace messages.
Creeping past armies of cyborgs and robots, you find hardware that grafts to your powersuit and neural apparatus, including infrared cyber-eyes, jump-jet boots and an arsenal of weapons. With your neural implant, you can 'jack' into cyberspace (SHODAN's realm) to steal clues to the mystery. System Shock 2 is a 1999 action role-playing survival horror video game designed by Ken Levine and co-developed by Irrational Games and Looking Glass Studios.Originally intended to be a standalone title, its story was changed during production into a sequel to the 1994 game System Shock. The crew has been mutated beyond recognition to serve SHODAN, a ruthless computer that controls station operations. I just started system shock 2 though and it seems like a really cool game and controls/graghics are much better (yay mouse look). An indentured hacker, you awake from a healing coma on board the space station Citadel only to find yourself in the twisted aftermath of a mutiny. Hey everyone, so I bought system shock 1 and 2 on steam sale a while ago and I tried to play the first one but it was just really hard to get into due to the outdated graphics and controls and stuff.
In System Shock, biological engineering and automation merge in a raging storm completely out of human control.
