System Shock 2 includes support for environmental audio in the form of EAX, which the Sound Blaster Live (and Live Value) Supports. Hybrids will talk among themselves, the mechs will give their status situation, the lab monkeys will chatter, and the Cyborg Midwives will complain about their children. Each enemy has its own characteristic chatter and you’ll soon learn each one of them by heart in order to prepare yourself from the troubles ahead. The music in this game is top notch, and they all help convey the creepiness of a nearly deserted spaceship.
As all people all know, one of the key points of having a frightening experience is the music and the sound that is present, and this is where System Shock 2 shines. While this doesn’t take anything away from the game, it’s sometimes weird to see gangly enemies wandering around hunting for you while you’re trying to keep calm to hear their moans.Īh yes, moans. System Shock uses an expanded version of the Thief engine, and while the Thief engine does have its strengths, it has one major weakness: Low Polygon Count Humanoid Models. You can learn more skills as time goes by, and the ability to cloak completely is available to you as well…if you devote yourself to this path. You will use your Psi amplifier in order to channel your Psi powers to perform all sorts of tasks. As a hacker, you’ll be forced to rely mostly on indirect ways to solve problems and kill enemies.įinally, the Black Ops Division (OSA) will train in the ways of a Psi User. You can also hack into the defense turrets and reprogram them to fire on your enemies, and the keypad locks on doors in order to gain access to rooms. You must hack into the security systems, temporarily disable it, and run by any defensive measures before it comes back on line. See that security camera? If you were a marine you could’ve blasted it down but if you’re a hacker, you may not have that luxury. As a hacker, your mission becomes a bit more complex as you must rely more on your brains and hacking ability to help your survive. If you play as him, your task will be straight forward: shoot, kill, destroy, kill some more, shoot some more, and lets not forget some maintenance on the weapons, shall we? You will have to count on your high strength, endurance, agility and weapon knowledge to get you through this game.Įnroll into the Navy, and you become a Hacker. The first class is the marine, the weapons guy in this game.
It all depends on your style of play and your skill level. Each class is unique in its own way and if you wish, by allocating the proper amount of Cybermodules (Think of them as skill points to buy new skills/stats with), you can effectively make your persona into another class, or perhaps a combination of the 2. In this game, you have the choice of 3 main classes that you can play as. Polito contacts you and thus begins your journey into hell… You’re a soldier stationed on the Van Braun, and as soon as you wake from your sleep in the cyrochamber, the memory restoration procedure fails mid-way through and leaves you without any memories of what has been happening ever since you came on board. With the AI XERXES handling the everyday operations of the ship and the military destroyer UNN Rickenbacker piggybacking on the Van Braun, everything seems like a formula for success…
The mega-Corporation Tri-Optimum has developed a FTL(Faster Than Light) Drive and after extensive testing, has built a ship, the Van Braun, to test the drive on her maiden voyage into the vast unknown. 70 Years have passed since the incident on Citadel Station and SHODAN, the Artificial Intelligence that tried to ruin the world is but a note of history.
