Better than the prequel
Don't know exactly why fanboys of the first game dislike IW. Because it made a mockery of the ridiculous dial-an-ending, making all 3 canon? Because ammunition is now universal (sounds pretty cyberpunk to me)? Because JC Denton is now "evil"?

No. Just, just no.
I got this game for Xbox thinking it would really good, being a sequel to what I think is the best game ever made. Unfortunately, I was completely disappointed. Even if you remove Deus Ex from the title, the game still is horrendously bad, with incredibly linear and small environments with a story so laughably mediocre it makes Michael Bay look like Francis Ford Coppola. This game completely scarred my childhood, to the point where I can't even look at the game any more or even acknowledge its existence when brought up in conversation. Invisible War, avoid.

Worth the purchase
Worse than the original Deus Ex, but I prefer this to Human Revolution because this game isn't embarrassed by first person gameplay. Other reviews have said that this is good, but worse than Deus Ex 1. However, there were some changes I liked: -Passive augmentations that don't consume energy. (Making silent footsteps worth acquiring.) -X-ray vision that works -Improved weapon modification -Universal augmentation canisters can acquire powers you want early in game

The game has more cons than pros
The plot arc of the Deus Ex (PC, 2000) is closed in this second part. The game tries to simplify and correct many of the first game faults related to the GUI (which frankly was complex unnecessarily), however they overdid. By example, the ammunitions have a universal ammo, and the biomods and skills are placed together only as biomods, by otherwise when you need to remove a physical or electronic lock, you only need to be closed for using the item, without need of changing items (useful as you will do it many times). The combat mechanics, based on the first game, are now feeling as an action game, even the most dangerous enemies are easy to destroy without being damaged. Also, is impossible ending the game without killing, e.g. the elite enemies will explode as soon they are killed or left unconscious. The game tries to preserver the fundamentals aspects of the first part, as the gossip between the people and the immersion of the word by means of news. BUT this is the weakest point of this game. The voice work is awful, killing all the immersion. The game plot is not bad, though is a little strange due that EIDOS chosen that the 3 possible endings of Deus Ex are cannon. As result, the world is in a strange state and there are some inconsistency, however the twists and the development of the history inside of the game are decent.

Quite weak
It's not awful, but it's nowhere near as good as the first. The levels are tight and claustrophobic, and the whole interface and inventory system manage to be both basic and awkward. Only get it cheap and with low expactations. Better yet get the first one.
