A rather average experience, which feels like a step back. 0
Alright, let's try and get this over with as softly and smoothly as possible. Although I regret having to say it, when you compare Invisible War to the brilliant original of Deus Ex, the follow-up frankly falls painfully short of the inevitably large expectations which had been previously built up.

Now, some of the blame can p...

It's still about playing a person trained and cybernetically modified to be the perfect soldi...

So, Deus Ex Invisible War (DEIW) eh. Not as good as the original Deus Ex, you say? I have to agree. A good question to ask is if this game would be better if it was released without the deus ex name attached to it. What makes deus ex such a loved game? It is not the graphics, even at the time I was not blown away by them. It was the freedom you had and the choices you were presented with.In comparison with the original, DEIW is a bit of a letdown. When you are confronted with choice, the wo...
