Review by IGN
“…While Deus Ex: Human Revolution can't be the revelation that Deus Ex was
in 2000, it's an achievement nonetheless. It's a visionary, considered piece
of work, and while my thoughts drift to the things that could have been and the
compromises made due to the possibilities of video games in 2011, they're just
as quick to consider playing through it again. Human Revolution is a smart,
rewarding piece of transhumanist noir that does justice not just to Deus Ex, but
to the fiction that inspired it.”
IGN RATINGS FOR DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION (PS3)
8.5 Presentation
Human Revolution's interface is well-integrated and unobtrusive, but the
waypoint system leaves something to be desired. The story holds together well
though, and moves along without stumbling.
8.5 Graphics
From a technological standpoint, Human Revolution isn't doing anything special
graphically. But it has some of the best production design and art of any game
this year. Or last year.
9.0 Sound
Some awkward voice acting notwithstanding, Deus Ex's sound design is excellent,
and the soundtrack is phenomenal.
9.0 Gameplay
Human Revolution establishes a gameplay vocabulary and rewards you for learning
(and abusing) it. It's insanely flexible – save for a few points where it
isn't at all.
10 Lasting Appeal
Practically demanding multiple playthroughs, Human Revolution will take you
anywhere from 25 to 40 hours on your initial run.
