I'm an old fella with too much time on my hands. I really didn't understand what this game was when I ordered it but I sure found out when it came. I am absolutely certain that this is a fabulous game for someone 45 or 50 years younger than myself. It has great graphics and all of the gore a person could want. I highly recommend it for the young'uns.

Deus Ex 1 was perfect and still stands as one of the best games ever (if you can overlook the outdated graphics).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.

well this game is an awseom game, ive palyed it b4, but for sum reason the dvd version dosnt like to update the game files...

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.
