Deus Ex Invisible War Review

Dec 02, 2003 Thanksgiving is a time to gather together with your loved ones and celebrate (or at least acknowledge) the priorities that you pretty much ignore the rest of the year. It's also the time for me to play a hell of a lot of Deus Ex: Invisible War. In between my seven full meals of turkey I managed to ignore my family just long enough to finish Deus Ex: Invisible War for both the PC and Xbox.

Normally I wouldn't associate with such people but I overheard one of the guys on work release say something to that effect while he was cleaning my pool this weekend.
After giving him a much-deserved drubbing with my walking stick, I calmly explained that Deus Ex: Invisible War is a science-fiction-based, conspiracy-laden RPG, first and foremost. As such, it's more about character development and story progression than about running around shooting everything that moves.Those of you who never played the original may (possibly) be forgiven for asking 'So what?' Deus Ex took the same approach to story and narrative that Knights of the Old Republic took to morality. Both games actually shift in response to player decisions and actions.

Wwe crush hour gamecube. Thanksgiving is a time to gather together with your loved ones and celebrate (or at least acknowledge) the priorities that you pretty much ignore the rest of the year.

Having been a fan of the PC original, I was really looking forward to this next installment.

What you get is a game world that works according to logical consequences and one that allows gamers a chance to find their own way through the world rather than simply discovering the path the designers want you to follow. So it's an RPG, but you can play it as a shooter, I guess.
