Play it to see what went wrong

Even played out of the context of deus ex 1 its simply just a poor game / shooter. Universal ammo is never a good idea and eliminates the "wow i found some more darts for my tranquzliser" moments. The augs and stats are removed and the augs are ok but i miss the leveling up system coinciding with the augs from deus ex 1 which is removed from the latter deus ex games it made more sense to me in the context of the world. The story starts out well but it destroyed by the lack of consequence in the factions and its hard due to trying to incorporate all 3 endings from the 1st game into this plot. The pacing and the levels are fairly small making the grand scale of the locations feel small and ruined some of my immersion. It's not a good game but every now and again i feel that the people who made this tried but they didn't "get" deus ex or were afraid a wider audience wouldn't get deus ex . P.S i would talk about the AI but honestly its probably great AI compared to most FPS games.

Nerfed Ex

Invisible War has two irredeemable features. 1: by making the game cross compatible with consoles they nerfed the rpg elements, gameplay, level design, and even combat system; 2: it was the highly anticipated sequel to a PC game believed by most (myself included) to be the GOAT. I played this game a long time ago, and didn't get too far in before I gave up in disgust. While it probably has some redeeming values I wouldn't know what they are. Granted, I am a massive fan of the first game so my review is undoubtedly biased - but I'd recommend buying Deus Ex 1 GOTY ed. and install a graphics mod instead - and you'll be biased too;).

Visibly Good

This game got great press when it was released, a lot of awards, was commercially successful ... the whole shooting match. It's easy to understand why, it's a nice tight game with good focus and good combat. Writing is respectable considering it's a game, voice acting is good, it looks good. It can be hard to get working on modern hardware, but just do a search for "imagecfg.exe" which is a tool from the Windows 2000 Server feature pack that lets you permanently configure executables to run on a single core. Apply that to the three main executables, then get the popular VisibleUpgrade mod. Viola. This game is better than 90% of the games being released today. At the current price of under $2 it's such a good deal it should be a crime.

Truly a Good Game

It's just not quite what the original was. Basically, I, like most was disappointed at first. I didn't like the cartoon feel of the character art, and the game ran terribly on my computer when I first played it. Then of course there was the physics, you bump into something and it flies across the room. I quickly overcame what I didn't like, though, because this game does offer something really good. AMBIANCE. I loved the feel of walking around Upper Seattle, and then seeing the stark contrast between life there and Lower Seattle, truly life in the future will be very Blade Runner-Esque. This game is a testament to that. By far Seattle is the best area in the game, but I also very much enjoyed the other areas. This is a game where you just feel like you're there. With all this said, I consider the original Deus Ex to be the best game of all time, and this doesn't quite live up to that Legacy, but of the few Deus Ex clones out there, this is certainly one of the best.

In the shadow of a much better game

Invisible War, while entertaining, is the textbook example of a dumbed down sequel. It was blatantly designed to target a perceived audience of console gamers, and as such feels lackluster in almost every regard. What a rotten way to die... Character customization has been stripped down to its minimum. The skill system is gone, you can uninstall your augmentations whenever you want, and all guns use universal ammo: in short, there are no lasting consequences as to how you build your character, and you can basically change your playstyle on a whim. The vast open levels have been replaced by small interconnected areas: the alternate routes and emergent gameplay that made Deus Ex so good are drastically reduced here, there are often no more that two or three different ways to go through a section. Due to much shorter dialog and levels, the campaign is twice as short as its predecessor and feels rushed. And despite running on a more advanced engine, the graphics are a lot more drab than the original DE: the decent lighting and textures do not make up for the lack of groundedness and detail on display here. So, are there things to salvage?... Well, yes. DE:IW even has a few advantages over its legendary brother. The combat is less janky, there are more secondary quests on offer (even though they tend to consist in basic fetch quests), and some of the gameplay changes like passive augs make it more player-friendly. The plot is fine, and there is some good dialog and a lot to enjoy in the worldbuilding: it's a lot more “sci-fiesque” than DE in its aesthetics, but the various factions and technologies on display are very interesting and imaginative overall. So, while there are a few things here that are worth a playthrough, IW is disappointing. It would be an interesting curiosity if it had no ties to the Deus Ex franchise, but it pales in comparison to its predecessor. You wanted orange? This game gave you lemon lime: it's not bad, but the taste is just not the same.
