If you like System Shock and System Shock 2 then you should like Deus Ex. I think you can get the GOTY edition on Steam for the monetary equivilent of peanuts and it still holds up well enough today IMHO - certainly when I played through it again recently I was amazed at how, once you settled to ignorning the graphics, it felt more sophisticated and advanced than most current games.
The orginal Deus Ex, System Shock and it's sequel for me represent the high point of a much more involving experience leveraging a first person view. This does look good, but the level of highlighting of objects seems a little excessive to an old hand at the title like me. Hopefully you can switch it off - although sadly most developers today seem to have no idea how easily the could give a few more settings and how easily this would probably net them additional sales.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
