The name System Shock has ceased to appear in popular media for more than a century, but those familiar will recognize this as a historical first-person shooter that defined the genre.Like the original game, the sci-fi RPG System Shock 2 primarily takes place on a spaceship that has been captured by a sentient rogue AI named SHODAN, whose fight against this entity drives the entire plot. As an unnamed soldier who has just been revived from cryogenic sleep, the player chooses between three character classes with unique powers, while joining the battle with several survivors.
