  • Summary: Utopia became a "purgatory" for its people as it promised to grant them the ability to create their own paradise. In exchange, the Mastermind was allowed to freely scan each person’s emotions, thoughts and feelings.

In exchange, the Mastermind was allowed to freely scan each person’s emotions, thoughts and feelings. The experiment turned out to be such a success that the Mastermind offered Utopian citizenship to the rest of the non-virtual world. Over time, the experience of Utopia became so popular that its inhabitants eventually outnumbered those remaining in the real world. Thousands of Utopia’s users refused to exit the virtual world. Hoping to gain immortality each inhabitant sought to become a "digital god" and create his or her own paradise. The physical world fell apart in their absence. The deterioration of the physical world prompted the government to establish the Department of Anti-Utopian Affairs (AUA), created for the sole purpose of sending elite teams of agents, called Removers, to Utopia. The players have a choice: they may conform to the ways of Utopia and abide by its laws; or, if they figure out how to free themselves, they can attempt to destroy the Mastermind and rescue the other hostages trapped in the great virtual dream.

    While Utopia City does have some unique qualities in the form of rewarding artefacts and its energy based gameplay mechanic, other areas only make it adequate for budget line expectations and out of reach for anything beyond that.

    Perhaps the dev team just asked the pizza delivery boy to do the job to save some pennies for the sequel. [Aug 2006, p.95]

    There's so much wrong here, from the Matrix rip-off storyline and painful attempts at imitating "Deus Ex," to the lack of textures and dull levels. [July 2006, p.102]

    The in-game text, when comprehensible, looks like a toddler wrote it, the sounds don't match up to the visible actions and the voiceovers are awful, disjointed and mediocre. [Aug 2006, p.84]

    It’s hard to think of anything since the turn of the millennia that looks this bad. Not only are the textures bland and hazy but several levels suffer from what can only be described as "big room syndrome." Large hallways and walls will be monochromatic and feature single furnishings like a lamp, door or sign.

    I have bought it for few cents, and I think that was good choice. Graphics are good, but they might be better, at least shading and I have bought it for few cents, and I think that was good choice. Graphics are good, but they might be better, at least shading and lightning. Optimilisation isn't good enough, but I have had a really great time though. The game gets better as you go further and further (the "outer city" was some kind of masterpiece with speed artifact). Finally - graphics are not important, if gameplay is good and not repetetive.… Expand

    Great idea and an interesting world. Nice graphics. However models are not very good, and gamplay is a bit umimaginative. All in all the Great idea and an interesting world. Nice graphics.

    While the DEVs of this game tried to do something unique and unsual they ended up with a Deus Ex knockoff. Not a very good one at that. The UIWhile the DEVs of this game tried to do something unique and unsual they ended up with a Deus Ex knockoff. Not a very good one at that. The UI is pretty rough, gameplay us pretty boring, AI is mindless and the objectives are poorly planned with no details telling you what the hell is going on. This game was complete waste of time, if you want a cyberpunk sort of game thats worth a damn. Pick up the original Deus Ex or even the IW sequel, but don't even think about this!… Expand
