Deus Ex: Invisible War Review

GamersInfo.net has posted a review of Deus Ex: Invisible War, and although there is no overall score, it doesn’t sound like they were very impressed. Their conclusion:

Deus Ex: Invisible War is a poor rendition of a truly amazing game. They tried to capture the lightning that the original had, but they went looking for it in all the right places. They tried to make it look amazing with the newest graphics tools, but ended up making their game bloated and slow because they forgot the original game wasn’t that pretty to look at but people still played it anyway. They stripped out the stat advancement because they wanted to appeal to a more general audience, but ended up making their game into just another FPS game because they forgot that the reason the original one was so unique was because it had stat advancement in a FPS game. They cobbled together a poor story from general elements and pieced them together in a way that didn’t really make any sense and made their game into a soulless facsimile of the original. Simply put, this game lives up to the Sequel Rule. In fact, I would go so far as to say that it could very well be the paragon of that rule.
