    With deep, involving ethical questions, and systems that test players beyond their ability to pick the right gun, Deus Ex: Human Revolution is – in many, many ways – a game for thoughtful players.

    In this current gen's masterpiece, Philip Dick meets William Gibson and Blade Runner meets the original Deus Ex. We can't see how on earth Warren Spector will stick with making another Disney game.

    Atmospheric, mature, detailed, classy and intriguing, but let down sorely by short-sighted design and sloppy mechanics, the worst of which is the feeble AI. [Issue#76, p.84]

    Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......what?.....Oh yeah....this game is bor-or-oring. I feel like I should be looking around for a typewriter ribbon. No combat as far as fighting goes, and you character gets tired out after one stealth take down (even though the game is about biotics and their strengths). Interesting story and concept, but its just to.....zzzzzzzzzzzzz.… Expand

    2nd review, no change. Played for many hours now. I don't think that hoping for a worthy prequel to Deus Ex was unrealistic. Eidos has certainly reaped the reward of the hype. This game is mediocre. Whether or not you played the original is, I think, irrelevant. Time will tell, as it always does. This game will not be remembered as a show stopper. It will be mentioned as an afterthought when future discussions touch on 'important games, groundbreaking games'. An afterthought to Deus Ex. It just serves to remind us that hype, and the self serving keyboard warriors that infect forums worldwide, produces mediocrity. True gaming lies in gameplay, imagination, storytelling and emotional response. Deus Ex Human Revolution will make millions due to it's family heritage. This does not make it a great game. Very, very disappointed. Kinda beautiful to look at though at times. Loving the soundtrack. Pity that gameplay, again (and inexcusably), has been the last thing on a developers mind. I might be wrong, perhaps I've lost grip with what gaming means today. But I don't think so. Enjoy… Expand
