 Eidos and Ion Storm ruins an impossible to ruin sequel. June 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Deus Ex 1 was perfect and still stands as one of the best games ever (if you can overlook the outdated graphics). How did they go wrong with this? They had the perfect blueprint from the original game and screwed it all up by dumbing the gameplay down for a simultaneous console release (even after Warren Spector said he wouldn't dumb down the gameplay).
The environments are much smaller this time around, damage system is lousy (at v. 1.0, a hit anywhere on an enemy did the same damage).
My biggest gripe is the original was a very realistic Scifi FPS with meticulous ammunition management and yet in the sequel we get universal ammo and weapons that don't even need to be reloaded. It's like they're stepping backwards.
Another cruddy element is the idle stance the characters have. It doesn't look natural. Every character when idle stands like a 3D character that hasn't been rigged yet with their arms a foot from their sides.
The music was yet another step back for the series as well. There were no memorable themes (aside from the title and opening movie) and they ditched dynamic music which I loved in the original game (when you snuck around unnoticed, one song played, and when you were in combat, another higher tempo and more action packed variation segued in).
Finally, it's a minor element, but I also miss the camera bob from the original game. It made the camera movement feel more natural and once again is a step backwards for the series. I hope Eidos is paying real close attention to these negative reviews when they develop DX3.

This game is terrible in every way possible. The graphics actually take a step backward from the first Deus Ex. The RPG element that was so great in the first game was hacked into pieces for this game, making it nearly unplayable. The plot is perhaps one of the worst I have ever encountered. The maps are small, which means very little exploring.
Overall, this game is not worth the box it comes in. I am very disappointed that Eidos would slap together a game like this and unleash it on the public. Shame on you Eidos. We know you are capable of so much more!
Deus Ex Invisible War = Terrible = Buy Deus Ex Game of the Year Edition.

Not Quite as Good As the 1st Game September 15, 2007
This was a fun game, all though it wasn't as good as the first game. ( which by the way if you haven't played it you are missing out on one of the GREATEST GAMES EVER !!!) Ion Storm did make the game a little easier...for example one ammo fits all...but I was put off by some of the blurry settings..nanite swell 11????? made it difficult to really explore those areas. All in all considering the price...less than $5.00...a very nice game to play & re-play.
 Second only to the original Deus Ex July 17, 2007

When I read about the previews to this new Deus Ex, I was skeptical. I really thought it was going to be a dog. But, being such an extreme fan of the original, I was still looking forward to how it would be. I was especially irked by the removal of the skill system, a system that I thought made the game more like an RPG instead of just a first person action adventure game. After I played it, I was very impressed. It looks graphically stunning, has even more player freedom than the first Deus Ex, and even more endings. I loved playing through this game. It is a bit easier than the first one, but still squarely in the right range of difficulty to maintain my interest, but not make me too frustrated that I get killed in the same area over and over.
In the final analysis, this is a spectacular game much like the first, but the original Deus Ex is still my favorite game of all time.
