Second Thoughts...
...Well despite my slating of Deus Ex: Invisible War in a previous post, I have to admit that I'm still playing it.
I still have serious issues with the game, and I've got 6 spare biomod canisters that I'm never likely to use & I have "full" ammo that will be totally depleted by one large firefight.
However, the game has a saving grace - the storyline. As with the first game, it is very engaging - even the unrelated sub-plots, like the coffee wars, are intriguing and keep your interest. I've yet to abandon any sub-plot due to boredom - although it can get frustrating given the number of load points in the game. One of the most fun features of the story is the NG Resonance AI that you encounter in places - great fun for some little mini-missions.
The plot twist is typically impressive and I really didn't see it coming. That's not entirely true - I knew who the "real" enemy was for quite a while, but the rest caught me completely by suprise.
It's an amazing achievement to have a game that I was able to write a mini eassy on the faults of, yet create a plot so involving that I'm going to play it to the conclusion.
If only this game hadn't been written for the xbox, it could have been one of the greatest games of all time.
