Deus Ex: Invisible War (Xbox)

The original Deus Ex game deserved to be called a classic. You really felt you were in a living breathing world with secret organisations all operating around you.Invisible War (IW) lives up to the original's great gameplay but there are some significant differences. There's not quite the same level of detail as in the original. There are no newspapers lying around to read and fewer amounts of junk to play with - the basketball is still there though. The plot also seems to unwind faster. The missions come thick and fast in IW and action is always just round the corner.If anything, this is Deus Ex light. There's no more role play style stats. There is only one standard ammo clip, which works with all weapons. The body mods are simpler too. They are still good but more accessible this time. I guess this is all to make the game console friendly. The original PC game was ported to the PS2 as an after thought. PC purists won't be impressed, though, especially as the PC game is the same as the Xbox one.Again, like the original, you start off working for one organisation, then other rival outfits offer you different conflicting missions. One group might ask you to get info off a guy, whilst another might tell you to kill him. You get to pick and choose what you want to do without really knowing which is right or wrong. You can also choose your own style of play. Some players will mainly blast their way through the game, some will hack, whilst others will use stealth. Of course you can use all three typesThe game even plays on your real life prejudices. In one scene, an obviously gay man propositioned my male character. I gave a deliberately 'friendly' response, which gave me benefits that an unfriendly one probably wouldn't have. Very clever.This is all far more sophisticated than Knights of the Old Republic's, simplistic dark or light choices.It's a great game, certainly one that older gamers would enjoy and I can't wait for Deus Ex 3, as I feel Ion Storm are setting new boundaries in interactive gameplay.

Deus Ex:invisible War on XboxFirstly I’m not one to review a game before I have played it. I was given a 1 level demo and I loved it!I wouldn’t really describe this as a FPS…. more of a RPG/FPS.Actually, the shooting is relatively rare, if you try and shoot your way out of (or into) situations, you usually end-up in a body-bag. In fact the control system seem to lack enough finesse to allow a good shoot-out.What this game is designed for is to get you to think laterally. In the Heron’s Apartments level there are at least 3 options to reach your objective. One involves some gambling on something like a dog fight to bail-out a plane. Or you can go in guns blazing and steal it back OR you can hack-into the security systems and get the remote guns to waste the bad-guys.Shoot, steal, bribe, gamble… the choice is yours.The game physics are remarkable. EVERYTHING can be interacted with, picked-up, thrown or shot.The levels are moody, dark and realistic. I havn’t found any negatives on the demo I played. It was enough to convince me to buy the game whenever they eventually release it.

Firstly, I realise that two stars seems a bit low, especially considering the high scores other people have given it. Follow my reasoning: if three stars is average, then two is less than average without being completely awful.So why is Deus Ex: Invisible War (DE:IW) so bad?Whilst the graphics are average, especially considering the time it was released, it's the gameplay that makes it bad.-The character interactions are terrible, and the environment isn't as nearly affected by your actions as it would appear. Whilst throughout the game there are a few factions vying for your support, in some cases you can complete objectives for both, and if you do have to choose, this just means that it's one side shooting at you rather than another. You can still choose to help any faction you like at the end, regardless of who you've helped throughout the entire game. Talking to other characters is boring - the RPG elements are rubbish. Generally, you watch poor face animation and listen to absolute drivel, before being asked a question. Generally, your answer doesn't really affect much, so it's not that important.-Stealth and shooter gameplay is inadequate. You have limited biomod slots, so you can never really make a max stealth or max shooter character. Which, to be honest, is a reflection of the game as a whole. People used to Splinter Cell's stealth will laugh at the appalling stealth sections, as you are entirely reliant on your mods - which run out too soon to give you any decent stealth play. Whilst anyone who's played a good FPS will find the shooting sections uninspiring - games as old as the original Half-Life were better shooters.-Huge loading times. I realise that DE:IW is an expansive game, with huge sections. But the loading times (as well as the frequency of loading screens) is awful. Example: you have to complete an assignment for various people in a club. Every time you enter or leave the club, you have to wait for ages. It just gets hugely boring and tedious. Often, you walk towards one door, and it loads a section. Then you walk down a short corridor, and approach another door. Again, you wait for the load. It totally removes any fluidity and continuity.-Graphics. Blocky, poor animations, and many of the levels are ridiculously dark - as if they new the graphics were so poor that the decided to put it in darkness to try and hide the games' failings.If you're looking for an adventure game with stealth and shooting, as well as a good plot, I'd highly recommend "Chronicles Of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay", which is everything DE:IW is not.
