Deus Ex: Invisible War

Anyone familiar with the original Deus Ex should come to expect a certain quality in both the gameplay, in-depth user interface, and character adjustability. It SHOULD have been a no-brainer for such functionality to transfer over seamlessly to Invisible War, the sequel to a game that garnered Game of the Year (and honorary GOTY the year AFTER it was released, it was that stellar).

Unfortunately, the formula got diluted when console design was mixed in. The developers, in a stroke of silliness, decided to add ALL firearm ammunition into a single pool. Example: Use up all your ammo with the flamethrower, and you'll have no bullets to fire from your pistol or sniper rifle. Make sense? Of course not.

Likewise, the fluid upgrades given to the player have been watered down to an extent that you feel terribly limited no matter WHAT bio-mods you use. The voice acting is on par with the original, but the storyline is nowhere near as gripping. Likewise with Warren Spector's design. Combine it with a painful installation and performance akin to a mud-drenched hog, this game is one to avoid.
