Huge Decline
I had fond memories of this game having played it as a child on release - but playing it again in 2021 directly after the original... Wow, what a colossal decline - a step down in every aspect with a story so laughable it is almost a mockery of the originals.

Game ruined by.. fan expectations.
I'm not doing an in-depth review of Deus Ex - Invisible War, I just wanted to say that it's actually a very enjoyable game. It simply isn't very much like Deus Ex 1. It has a lot going for it, and while I consider DX1 one of the best games of all time, I have actually played through DX2 a couple of times. Try it, it's a good'un.

Not an awful game, but not like Deus Ex
The biggest changes ive noticed comparing this to Deus Ex is this-choices seem more limited on how you can handle things. Also, this game has a cartoon-y feel to it, whereas Deus Ex the original had a grim/grey feel to it *much more realistic* I would say this game is colorful like a rainbow, Deus Ex the original is like many shades of grey. The biggest disappointment in my opinion is changing the skill sets/augs up, and also the ammo packs for all weapons. At least in Deus ex you didn't go through ammo as quickly usually. Is this a bad game? No. Is it like its predecessor? No, see it as a different game. I will play it again though, its not horrible.

A Good Game - Replayable
I know haters gonna hate, but I actually really enjoyed Deus Ex: IW. It has faults for sure, but I found the game overall more fun and replayable than DE1. In fact, DE2 was pretty innovative at the time with the way it handled upgrades and storytelling. Gameplay-wise, it paved the way for Bioshock. Similarities are everywhere, from the simplified upgrades (very much like plasmids) to the tighter corridors, condensed inventory, and more action-packed gameplay. Deus Ex 1 was more complex behind the hood, but the action itself wasn't the most exciting. The ragdoll physics in DE2 (which was still a new idea at the time) often made things hilarious, and really made you feel a sense of power as you grew stronger. Everything was streamlined so you could focus more on the action in front of you, and less on your inventory screen. Story-wise, I found it far more interesting than DE1. I don't often replay games, but I played through DE2 twice, because of its multiple paths. Whereas in Deus Ex 1, most of the choices you made had more to do with the gameplay than the story, in DE2 you could dramatically change the story and alter your path--and there were plenty of opportunities to do so. If you only played DE2 once, you were missing out on a lot of content.

Undderrated
A hidden gem of the past and one that deserves to be played. It's full of detail and atmosphere that isn't seen in most modern games. Possibly my favorite Deus Ex game.
