  I've completed it once, but going back to it now (and I'm embarrassed to say this) I find the graphics just too off-putting. I have the high-resolution texture mod, but everything is just big boring slabs of grey and black. Also, the running animations are so laughably bad it just detracts from the whole experience. I enjoy and regularly replay many other old games like X-Com, Ultima VII and Nethack, but I've never been able to return to Deus Ex. :(
