Description

Approximately 20 years after the events depicted in Deus Ex, the world is only beginning to recover from a catastrophic worldwide depression brought on by technology run amok and a secret conspiratorial war.

The winner-take-all geopolitics of mid-21st century Earth have given way to a struggle over more basic concerns: food, water, reestablishing civil law and cleaning up biological and nano-tech fallout. In this chaotic recovery, several religious and political factions see an opportunity to re-shape a worldwide government to their agendas, understanding that the right moves now could determine the shape of human society for decades - even centuries - to come.

Amidst the debris, the player Alex D. emerges in search the identities of true players behind the power struggles and the source of his own mysterious origins. In a techno-nightmare of the fragile revival or ultimate decimation of human civilization, take part in a dark dramatic struggle to raise the world from it's own ashes.

FEATURES:

  • Action-packed first person-perspective adventure with shooter game-play elements.
  • RPG character creation and advancement through choice of nano-tech augmentations and inventory gear.
  • Support for stealth gameplay, with darkness and sound affecting enemy awareness.
  • Variable gameplay - multiple solutions to problems and support for varying stylistic approaches.
  • Non-lethal, non-violent resolution to conflict, allowing players to make ethical statements through their actions.
  • A large variety of interesting gameplay tools and character powers in the form of gear and nano-tech augmentations, allowing players to exploit the superhuman powers of their character to interesting effect. For instance, DX2 allows players to see through walls, leap 40 feet into the air, regenerate critical body damage or render themselves radar invisible.
  • A dynamic, non-linear story with responsive plot branches and character attitudes. The player is allowed unprecedented freedom of action.
  • Interactive conversations with numerous secondary characters, featuring meaningful, plot relevant dialogue choices.
  • Wide ranging and tactically interesting Artificial Intelligence - creatures and human units work together as groups - sometimes employing stealth and cover against the player.
  • Real world locations, allowing the player to engage in a globe-hopping adventure, visiting Red Square, Seattle, London and other interesting places.
  • Highly interactive environments - everything in the game world has some interesting (and potentially unforeseen) effect. The player has agency...he can reach out, alter the world around him and see the effects of his actions.

    Review by Mike on 22nd August, 2006
    "Great game, some minor glitches"
    As a sequel to one of the greatest games ever, it's always hard to live up to expectations. But I think it was a good move to take a slightly different direction with this game. For one, it is simplified quite alot, and the fiddly skills points system has been dispensed with. I really liked the aspects which remained the same as the original Deus Ex, and the updated graphics was good too. However, I thought the graphics could have been better. Also, the much vaunted physics system didnt really play a major role in the gameplay itself.

    Other little gripes: inventory items sometimes refused to stack, it was annoying!! Game tends to crash out randomly sometimes.

    Overall another enjoyable game, could be better but still.

    "Absolutely love this game"
    Deus Ex 2: Invisible War is an excellent game. It is not a simple FPS although it does have that component ... it is engaging in terms of he story line, interaction with other characters (in addition to killing them). No leading edge gaphics but damned good anyway.

    "A damn good game!"
    I agree with some of the comments made by Anonymous from Napier. This game got slammed big time by people, particularly those in the US who had to put up with the early version (re: unpatched), and rightly so.

    Yes, it has been simplified and I don't think that all of the changes are for the best, but that said, it's still a very good game.

    "An awesome game"
    An awesome game, well worth the money unlike some others. You don't have to blast everything in sight to win ... in fact it is fun to take over some of the enemies and use them to blast the rest :)

    "Worth the hardware it demands!"
    Deus Ex 2 is one of those "hard to put down once you start" games. I became addicted to this game very quickly after being engrossed in the story-line. Choices you make as you play, who to trust, which path to follow, great graphics all make up a great sequel to the first Deus Ex game. Yes you do need a high-end PC if you want to play with plenty of graphic goodies running but its worth it! I would have loved a multi-player option :)
