  Pros

  Screen shots on web look great.

  Cons

  Downloaded via Steam. Tried to run under Wine in Ubuntu x64. Installed OK, but would not run. Received error message:<p>A required security module cannot be activated. This program cannot be executed (8008).<p>A security module on a demo? Oh well, since I do not use Windows, I will not be spending any money on this game. At least Id supports Linux gaming.

• A well thought-out and varied game.

  Pros

  There are a number of different tasks involved in this game that vary from activating the engines to killing a hive-mind. <p>You have a number of different weapons each of which has different applications and the use of special skills and psychic powers is useful at times.

  Cons

  Too many psychic powers, I found myself only using a handful of those available after spending hard earned skill point obtaining a wide selection. <p>One tracked gameplay, you don't feel like you have any decisions to make in this game, you just follow preset orders. <p>Little career variety, while choosing between the three different careers on offer gives you a varied start to the game this quickly gets eliminated as you upgrade your abilities within the game.

  Summary

  This has to be one of the best games ever. I'm not easily scared by games or movies, but this one just had my skin crawling; it's so CREEPY. The mood is excellent throughout and the turns of event keep you moving constantly solving problems and fighting off "The Many" to regain control of the Von Braun, but a suprise awaits you halfway through, which changes everything.

• "GREAT MASTERPIECE"

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  The best game I have ever Played. The main key to the game is sound, listen carefull for clues if there are cameras, robots, or mutants close by. Every step I was scared of being spotted by cameras or get attacked by mutants, if you are spotted all hell breaks loose. Oh yeah and dont forget to use AP (armor piercing) bullet clips for robots and HP (human piercing) bullet clips for the mutants, and other creatures. Download it, you'll be glad you did.

• NOT just another shooter game

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This is the game you've been waiting for if you like story and atmosphere more than frags. Very spooky and one of the few games that emersed me totally, the other being Half-life. I highly recommend to anyone who doesn't mind playing something that is not state of the art. Also, a graphically enhanced mod is in development and can be previewed at //perso.wanadoo.fr/etienne.aubert/sshock/sshock_rebirth.htm with http in front.
