Deus Ex 2: Invisible War

"...Invisible War is a better game than Deus Ex, but it’s a lesser experience."

"...the game's edges have been softened for the mass market. Many of the original's complexities have been watered down for easier consumption."

"Some refined customization and that impeccable design fight the good fight, but it’s tough to overcome shoddy AI and technical problems."

"It’s a great game that takes some patience and some brains, but there’s just so much payoff in actually solving a level by yourself, without having to figure out what the designers wanted you to do to get through."

"...this is a game with a lot of replayability, since those with a lot of time on their hands might want to play the game again as a different type of character. It has been said that you’re supposed to be able to finish the game without killing anyone, but I can promise you that you’re in for a world of frustration if you try that yourself."
