I loved this game when it first came out, it's a true first person RPG action game. This game is a bit dated now compared to modern titles, but it's still enjoyable. This game references the first game constantly, but is better considered a standalone title. (I never liked the other Deus Ex games I played as I felt they lacked atmosphere). This game without patching does not run well on modern hardware! But there is an a patch called the "Deus Ex 2 Visible Upgrade" (google will get you there). This patch will show up a a "heuristic" virus in most modern AV programs but as far as I can tell this just means the AV doesn't trust the file, as it doesn't know what it is. When using this upgrade I choose the following and experienced no issues: I choose not to keep the original game, in the VisibleTweaker tool I selected under Overview, the check box "unified texture pack master enable", then under Display I set the resolution to the same as my monitor (1920x1080). After this I entered the game set the resolution to match, and upped the Multi-sampling to 8x. Exited the game, then started it up again. I would save often as the AI is a bit wonky occasionally, but it's still easy to loose hours playing this so it's worth buying.
