GameSpot Review
Contrary to popular gaming lore, the original System Shock was not a commercial failure and sold over 170,000 copies over time. But when it first released in 1994, gamers overlooked Looking Glass's groundbreaking game despite favorable reviews. Some erroneously discounted it as a Doom clone, even though it was actually the offspring of a line of games that preceded any of id Software's first-person shooters. In fact, System Shock was a game that defied pigeonhole classification because it borrowed elements and themes from a variety of genres.
Prompted by the near destruction of Earth by the self-aware and malevolent artificial intelligence SHODAN, Earth's previously ineffectual political governments formed the Unified National Nominate and imposed constraints on the power of megaconglomerates. But after inventing faster-than-light technology, the corporate creator of SHODAN, TriOptimum Corporation, convinced the UNN to engage in a cooperative expedition into unexplored space. Your character awakens in the midst of a crisis, as the ship that undertook the monumental journey has apparently become infested by some form of alien life. Suffering from that infamous RPG plot device, amnesia, your character finds that he has received illegal cybernetic implants that grant superhuman abilities - just the kind of endowments necessary to survive System Shock 2's chaotic circumstances.
