Twenty years after the events depicted in the multi-award-winning Deus Ex, the world is just beginning to recover from The Collapse. As an elite agent-in-training, you must match wits against numerous militant factions bent on violently reshaping the world to suit their own agendas. Armed with a multitude of high-tech gadgets and cyberpunk bio-mods, you are granted nearly superhuman powers. Travel the globe to uncover fiendish plots and convoluted conspiracies of world domination. Unmask the conspirators, and discover the shocking truth behind your own origins.
Deus Ex: Invisible War features the open-ended gameplay of its predecessor: use multi-tools and trickery to get past your opponents, or just turn their technology against them as you hack their turrets and computer systems. Along with bio-mods and choices that let you mould your character as you desire, take advantage of the numerous ways to customize your weaponry whether it’s to increase their rate of fire or clip capacity. Last but not least, take advantage of the various factions, such as the Omar who have the only black-market bio-mods, to further your aims.
Who should you trust? Who should you fight? Every decision you make affects the world around you. A good choice for RPG and action fans alike!
RPG-ish design allowing for multiple solutions to every quest, whether through stealth and treachery or all guns blazing!
A selection of unique biomods such as the Neural Interface that allows you to hack computers or Cloak to hide from enemies, cyberpunk style.
Globe-hop to real world locations such as Seattle, London, and Cairo.

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.
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!
If you really love to RPG on your pc , alas there are only so many sci - fi rpg...
And Invisible War is pretty decent , without the high`s of its older brother perhaps.
But its a challenge there are many missions and i have played it through several times and had fun with it.
So for sure play the original first and maybe ANACHRONOX and the System shock games .
But when you need a fresh game , give this a try , i feel it was somewhat underated.
I will start my first review on Gog.com with a bold statement:
I enjoyed Invisible War a lot more than the original Deus Ex.
Now, since I can hear the furious crowd approaching with their magrails ready to shoot, I will tell you why oh why you should purchase this infamous title.
1- This game is, I will admit, not for everyone. The first and major complain you will hear time and time again is that the levels are much smaller than the original Deus Ex's. This, however, is very well executed, allowing you to grab a serious number of quests and meet a great cast of characters just by walking a few steps, instead of running for minutes through an area you already cleared. This does, in no way, invalid the huge levels the original game had, but if you are a person with very little spare time, you will thank Invisible War for its not-too-large environment.
2- Universal ammo may be annoying for some, yet in realistic mode, it can have a great impact on the way you play the game. I just finished the game with just half a clip on my pistol, after having to end more than a few enemies using close combat, which, at this level of difficulty, gets quite tricky. This is yet another "disadvantage" that helps you get through the game without spending precious minutes looking for the right ammo.
3- The Omar. Love them or hate them. In my case, I just love the whole concept of them.
4- Excellent characters, with decent voice acting, that will play different roles based on your choices along the game.
5- Four very different endings that carry on with the dark utopias already presented before.
6- Factions, politics and manipulation.
All in all, this game does not compare to the original, but IMHO that's just because they are very different games. My case might be one in a million, but, if you play this game ignoring the angry screams around claiming that change is a bad thing, you may be surprised by a great story, good action/stealth gameplay, and good replayability.
Deus Ex is still today my favorite game of all time. Invisible War had big shoes to fill, and it didn't fill anything, except the disappointment of fans.
Invisible War is not a bad game at its core, it is actually quite good. But what made Deus Ex unique was gone : nearly every RPG elements are out ( body parts, inventory space, points to allow, different munitions ...). All that remains is a dumbed down version of Deus Ex on consoles (it is one of the game I kept with my xbox). A shame.
The story line remains quite good, with a lot of different approaches and possibilities, and it still has this intelligent side to it. The soundtrack by Alex Brandon is to my opinion the only part where Invisible War is superior to his big brother.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
