Decent but underwhelming

I'm not a Deus Ex fanboy, I love the new games but the original game isn't any sacred cow. That's the context I give for my thoughts on Invisible War. The game is pretty okay. The story is a bit convoluted, there are too many players and a lot of the writing is not amazing either. Some of the side quests are pretty dumb, like quests for competing coffee shops, and some of the basic premise- like the idea that you need to hire your own pilots to move from one hub to another seems at odds with the motivations of the main players. If your player is a pawn for a lot of big players, why do you need to pay your own fare to get around? Doesn't make much sense. The two opening factions are meant to be shades of grey as well, but when one faction's missions are almost unanimously "kill this person" it doesn't seem so grey at all. There are lots of upgrades. Four different biomod slots giving one choice out of three. Guns with different upgrade choices. The inventory by items but some items stack. Although later in the game my multitools wouldn't always stack for some odd reason. I find some of the biomod choices odd- why can't I get both hacking and cloak? Instead they are on the same circuit and you can only get one or the other. And for terminals you can hack or use the passcode but I never found a single passcode outside of one given by an NPC. In that way the world actually seems pretty barren- I miss being able to search people- instead when you take someone out they drop all their gear and their body is just another item. Would it not be more interesting to find pieces of lore or passcodes on say an enemy captain? My biggest problem with this game is not anything within the game, but the fact that it changes my screen resolution every time I play it. I need to hit up my display settings afterwards to fix it. Overall- I had some fun, but I'm not sure its worth playing over other FPS titles.

Good Game, But Not Great Sequel

Deus Ex - Invisible War is a good game overall. It is just not the game that everyone was expecting as the sequel to one of the greatest games of all time. Simplified systems, small world, lackluster music and overall "dumbing-down" led to a good game that still has part of the Deus Ex DNA, but a very diluted DNA. The writing though is still quite good and Sheldon Pacotti did a great job within the limits of the game world (all three endings of the original being made canon) that he had to work with, albeit with some oversights to the fates of certain characters. Overall, a good experience as a game, but a major disappointment to fans that were essentially expecting the greatness of a Half-Life 2, Baldur's Gate 2 and a Fallout 2 (for their respective originals), but was given a console dumbed-down "Deus Ex - Lite".

Good Game of its own

For a IP Fanboy this game might be a bit of a dissapointment. But if you can get behind that and look the game for what it is as a seperate instance, it is a very good and fun ride in a cyberpunkt setting. The UI shows that it was designed for consoles, yet i found the story interesting. It was, at least for me, like a spin off to the main franchise/storyline of DX. I didnt view'd it as a sequel, rather than a DX Flavoured RPG Shooter. It sports multiple ways of solving your tasks, and gives you the option to modify the weapons in a way that they suit your playstyle .Like a silenced Pistol that can disintegrate Glass and short circuits any alarm protecting it. Or a SMG that shoots EMP rounds. However, all weapons use the same ammo type, which is quiet a bummer at the beginning as it feels you dont want to use your shotgun because it wastes your precious pistol ammo and vice versa. But if you can get used to that, it is a good game of its own, not deserving the fanboy slamming it gets. TLDR: Good Game of its own, but might dissapoint Hardcore-Fans of the franchise. Take it as its own spin off and not of a se/prequel.

It's Not Bad

Invisible War is a good game. It's also a good Deus Ex game. It's only negative is that it is a console port. Negatives which derive from the limited hardware the game was made for, and thus all that entails. Look beyond that and enjoy it for what it is. I highly recommend the Visible Upgrade mod.

Underrated sequel

The truth is that Deus Ex Invisible War is not a worthy "Deus Ex" game, but a worthy sci-fi RPG game because yes, it is not so advanced like the original Deus Ex, however its serious plot and its grim atmosphere surpass even that of Deus Ex and makes it a good game!
