![]() To explain the "brainless" part in DX2: You don't get different story threads or conversations based on choices you make, the secondary NPCs have only 1-liners, there are no computers to hack or secrets to uncover, and the whole DX moral framework is missing - so what you end up is a dumbed down version of the almost living world DX1 created. We have yet to see whether DX3 continues the trend, but it's funny how the Tomb Raider series has become obsessed with "character", while Deus Ex is heading the opposite way. And nobody has come up with a "hardcore" mod for it. The new augmentations are a real improvement, but I'm missing a really difficult setting - the enemies are as brainless as in the original DX. Brainless, heartless, but not gutless - it's pretty much a straight SciFi-FPS with a DX story, fun to play if you skip all the boring, badly acted conversations (if it weren't for those looong level loading times!). The new augmentations are a real improvement, but I'm "A game people either love or hate" - well, I think they love and hate it for all the right reasons. "A game people either love or hate" - well, I think they love and hate it for all the right reasons. But on it's own merits, there are really better choices out there. If you are a fan of the series, or want to see where things have gone after the events of DE1, then this game is worth checking out. Also, this game does NOT run well at all on modern PCs the way the engine works is there is a constant switching of open windows for every area transition that is undergone in this game of which there are very many, because as I said the levels are TINY. Did I mention the levels are tiny? Overall it was a big disappointment compared to the masterpiece of Deus Ex. ![]() Play styles don't matter much either every (tiny!) level is more or less the same formula, kill the bad guys and get the Macguffin. the choices presented in this game are generally false and ring hollow in the long term. While it has better graphics and the combat dynamics are improved over the original Deus Ex, It still is missing a lot in the area of.depth and choice. Play styles don't matter much either every (tiny!) level I /want/ to give this title a better score, but I just can't. We're getting excited about this one.I /want/ to give this title a better score, but I just can't. Whatever way you decide to play the game will adapt, and the storyline morphs depending on your decisions and actions. Gameplay follows a free-roaming rather than a linear path too, so Alex is free to move between locations and NPC encounters as he wishes, and can return at any point already visited after he's gathered enough evidence to decide what action to take. There are no hard and fast rules dictating the way you go about your business - it's entirely up to you as to where you go and how you complete each mission. Who are these terrorists? Why are they attacking? Are they really terrorists at all? In the twisted world of Invisible War nothing is ever quite what it seems.īesides the stunning realisation of a nightmare futuristic society, the other thing that sets Deus Ex: Invisible War apart from its peers is the open-endedness of the gameplay. As Chicago is laid to waste Alex is forced to open his eyes and question his destiny as a corporate whore. Waking in his Chicago apartment to find the city under a 'terrorist' attack, Alex is quickly bundled off to another Tarsus training facility in Seattle "for his own safety".
