The title is a sequel to the 1994 PC game System Shock, and was co-developed by Irrational Games and Looking Glass Studios. The sequel was originally designed as a standalone title with no relation to System Shock; story changes were made when Electronic Arts—who owned the Shock franchise rights—signed on as publisher. System Shock 2 was released on August 11, 1999 in North America.
The game takes place on board a starship in a cyberpunk depiction of 2114. The player assumes the role of a lone soldier trying to stem the outbreak of a genetic infection that has devastated the ship. Like System Shock, gameplay consists of first person shooting and exploration. The game also incorporates elements of role-playing system elements, where player allows to develop unique skills and traits, such as hacking and psionic abilities.
System Shock 2 received positive reviews when released, but failed to meet commercial sales expectations. In retrospect, many critics have determined the game to be highly influential, particularly on first person shooters, and far ahead of its time, and inducted it into several "greatest games of all time" lists. In January 2006, Computer and Video Games reported System Shock 3 may be under development. As of January 2009, nothing conclusive has surfaced regarding the purported project's status. In 2007, Irrational—then 2K Boston/2K Australia—released a self-proclaimed 'spiritual successor' to the System Shock series, entitled BioShock, to critical acclaim and strong sales.

"Great survival horror sci fi game, lost my copy in a move long ago, but was great while it lasted. Creepy, intense game play along with customization up the wazoo."

"SYSTEM SHOCK 2 (PC, 1999)
Ken Levine’s precursor to the BIOSHOCK series, SYSTEM SHOCK 2 saw you as a soldier waking up on a space ship and finding that everything’s gone to hell. You explore what happened through creepy logs left around the place and find all manner of things trying to kill you- zombies, robots... killer monkeys? It may sound silly in print but in execution it makes for one of the best PC games ever made, with the sound design and insane enemy design making you hesitant t"

Great FPS that spices up the game with some RPG elements like character's developing skills. Creators of the game really succeeded creating haunting athmosphere and interesting levels here. If you like FPS that has been spiced up by certain elements to another level check this out!"
