Decent Game, Poor Sequel

As others have said: Invisible War is a solid title, but probably the worst game in the series. Questionable design choices (that the developers themselves have admitted), among other things, leave this to be a disappointing game if you've played any of the others. Hard to recommend if you've tried them. Overall, the game has a great sense of style & range of freedom (even if somewhat shallow). Despite its simplicity & other weaknesses, the developers DID create a very accessible title. Easy to pick up & play, then put down for weeks, & jump back into. IW is a fun & interesting title for those interested in the themes & settings of the future gone wrong & conspiracies small & large. Unfortunately, for most veterans of this genre or series, it'll feel quite watered down. This is probably a good candidate if you'd like to try out the Deus Ex series but never have - to whet your apetite. It has almost everything that made the other games great - just less of them. It's got the cyberpunk theme, the sense of dread & dystopia, the customization & freedom to tackle objectives. If only it had more...

Ok I suppose

I finally got round to finishing the game. Once you've modded the game into shape and offset some of it's more glaring flaws it is a reasonably good game in a way. (From a CRPG perspective) Despite it's flaws, I've found the game far more enjoyable than Bethseba games such as Fallout 3, which lare narrative voids. Some may tear me appart for saying so but I have not gotten past the initial scenes of the original much lauded Deus Ex. I will get round to it eventually but tend to get distracted by other things too. Currently, I still admire sexuels/prequels such as Deus Ex Human Revolution and Deus Ex Mankind Divided more, for all kinds of reasons. Back to Deus Ex Invisible War though.,, You know, from a modding perspective, this game could do with some graphical mods that offset the continuous blue tint, even if little can be done about the lighting/rendering. You see, even in the visible upgrade version, backgrounds such as the Seattle Outook and many other things look dreadful due to a complete lack of contrast. Ok game

Suffers from Consolitis

My first experience of a console oriented game released for the PC. I've always avoided any that seem to suffer from this disease before but since it's Deus Ex, I still got the game. Overall the story's fine, even adds to the Deus Ex world and that's a plus. It's a good enough game that's still okay to play.
