After asking around a bit, it seems many gamers missed this incredible game. Between the enthralling storyline, similar (but better!) advancement system to Deus Ex, and downright creepy voice acting, this game remains one of my all-time favorites. And the engine is still recent enough not to be an annoyance to those who have yet to play it.
It's been rereleased as a "classic" at about $9 (at Costco), so if you're looking for a good PC game, it gets my highest recommendation.
On a side note, has anyone heard if there is going to be a System Shock 3? And how was System Shock 1 compared to the sequel? I haven't played the first.

Actually, I bought a couple of months ago, and it has been sitting on the shelf gathering dust. Funny thing is, I planned on installing it and playing this weekend.

It was one of those games (much like Descent 3 and Mechwarrior 3) where I had absolutely no luck whatsoever trying to run the demo, so I didn't want to waste my money on a game that probably, for whatever reason, wouldn't work on my system.

I bought this game, I played this game, I loved this game.
BTW, from what I hear System Shock 1 was just as good, except of course for the graphics. Also, I heard control wasn't as good in SS1 as compared SS2. Not surprising as I found the SS2 control scheme very intuitive.

Please, please, please don't read below if you intend at all to play the game.
ENDING (assuming you've made it far enough to know the basic plot):
