This is great. Once I started playing this game I just couldn't stop. The graphics are great, the plot is fun, and you can choose certain biomods that help you throughout your missions. I actually haven't played the original Deus Ex, just a demo of it, and it was OK, but I think this is better. I can't really see anything wrong with the AI. I mean, it's not like the AI in Halo, but it isn't TERRIBLE. But what I really enjoyed was how they combined RPG elements, stealth sections, and the good ol' fps feel.
The game starts out with Alex D (man or woman, you choose) in his/her apartment which is under some sort of attack, and you are just going around and trying to find out what is going on. You soon learn that terrorist are invading your building, but you also learn later from some of the former students who went to the school that you are at in the beginning that the company you were going to work for was actually spying on you and using you as a guinea pig. So you have a choice of what side you want to join. You can join the "terrorists" called The Order, or you can keep working for the "WTO". Both sides tell little lies to persuade you to join them, and it is fun to find plot twists throughout this game.
The only problem I had was how powerful bots were. Some sections took way too long when they were bot-guarded. I'm not saying I don't like a challenge, but this really became a pain in the ass after a while.
I recommend this game to anyone who enjoys RPG or fps games.

This is not Halo. If you want to run around and kill things, this is not the game for you. Deus Ex is game that requires planning, stealth and patience. Combat is often brief and deadly, unless you have positioned yourself to surprise your opponents.

The sound and graphics are very good, but many areas are dark. The Biomods which give you certain advantages in the game end up being of little use due to their high energy drain and a lack of energy cells (plus, unlike clips in the guns, the energy cells do not automatically load when they run out).

My biggest complaint has to be the combat. I don't mind combat being dangerous, but if they are going to make it that way, it should be true for both sides. When I sneek up behind a guard and pop him in the back of the head, that should be it. He shouldn't be spinning around and firing at me with his SMG. Other than that, I've been having a good time with the game.

When asked about playing the first Deus Ex, most gamers reminisce of the good old days when the original game revolutionized the first person shooter genre as we know it by combining both fast paced action with an intriguing story. The plot twists were not predictable, and frankly, the game itself left any patron struck with awe. Invisible War, the sequel to Deus Ex had a whole lot to live up to. Starting with a formidable graphics engine, storyline, and action sequencing, Deus Ex: Invisible War had some pretty big shoes to fill. Though the game fills those shoes partly, it would be far too gratuitous to say it lived up to all its expectations. No, that does not mean that it is not a good game. Quite the contrary. The game is immersive, intriguing, and beautiful, to say the least. The graphics will awe any fan of eye candy. The realistic and sometimes humorous physics engine, the incredible detail with shadows, and spectacular look to all surfaces and characters merely encroaches upon the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how good Deus Ex:Invisible War looks. But, as the old idiom proclaims, looks are not everything. The sequel falls short of the original in terms of action. The heads up display (HUD) is a little more unusual, and the inventory scheme is not as appealing. However, there are some very interesting connections to the first game, and one will leave it at that, so as not to spoil any surprises. All in all, Deus Ex: Invisible War is a good game that could have been better. Nonetheless, it is one of the more fun games this gamer has played. Though shadowed by the mighty innovation of its predecessor, it is definitely worth your time to check out Deus Ex: Invisible War.
