Artificial Intelligence in games is very important in games now.Without it nowadays in games,the experience would seemm well,a lot less realistic.New games nowadays are concentrating on the AI in games,look at the sure fire classic,Metal Gear Solid 2,Konami are really trying hard to create the perefect enemy that thinks and acts like you.You bleed when you are shoot,the guards will follow the trail of blood.If you shoot a guard to a point where he can still move he will call for backup or gather gurads near by the shoot you down.AI in a game makes the expereince even more beautiful.Another game that has just been released is the increadible Black and White,the AI in that game is just amazing.The creature you raise will be influenced by your actions,If you are bad thewn he will be bad,like pooing on the floor or throwing rocks at houses causing them to smash.Your villagers will also react to your actions.If you neglect them,their respect for you will drop.AI in games importance is increasing in every year of gaming.The new revolution in consoles will become more interested in AI power than flash graphics.

Artificial intelligence in games makes the experience more memmorable.Games that have great AI will produce great titles,an example of this is Black and White.

Perfect Dark's simulant AI was mean. It hunted, shot with perfect acurracy, never stood still for more than a second, instantly knew where to get guns.

And despite being incredibly hard to beat, they didn't act like human players in any way.

Hopefully the gamecube version will breath some humanity into them.

Deus Ex could have been a lot better on the AI front for sure. If you shot and wounded an enemy bad enough, they'd run away from you in a straight line, making it pretty easy to shoot them in the back. No intelligence there really.

Then there were the conversations that conveniently started up just as you approached someone. In the real world, you'd have been so busy trying to get the crate of dynamite to explode at the right minute, and spent so much time trying to sniper the guys on the dock with precision, that by the time you got to where the conversation would have been held in the first place, the guards would have been on a lunch break or something.

This kind of 'real-time' intelligence has always been lacking in games, but maybe the games would be just too hard and no fun if this was included.

A First Person Shooter is one thing, doing it for real would be something entirely different, so I suppose it's down to the programmers to try to find the balance between the gaming world and the simulation world, because the 'feel' of a game is all important.

Overall, gaming should be a balance between both fun and challenge, a game with no challenge is no fun either, and a game with no fun just isn't a game anymore, it's more like work.

deus ex has the best AI i ever seen in a game. metal gear solid was quite clever, but....well actually it's more the acting in deus ex. the AI's pretty average i guess but it's the most gripping game i've ever played. Just by the way the workers talk(will they blow your cover? should you use the prod?) and the men in black. it gives the felling they could turn on you any second and you cannot trust anyone!
Games still have along way to go, but i agree with you that the AI is very important. it's like unreal torniment; one of the best ever games but i couldn't call it a classic cause you just can't stay with it as long you could be able to.
Long live the quaint little computer people!!!:)

ps. some of the accents in deus ex were awfull dude!!!! lol
