Deus Ex: Human Revolution (With Bonus Explosive Mission Pack)

After reading reviews of this game I was afraid it wouldnt live up to the first game (lets face it, the second game never happened)

Voice acting 6/10: Forget what you've seen in the trailers, they really did pick the best bits. In actuality A.Jenson sounds like your average action movie stereotype, D. Sarif is a little more emotional but really when you're basing your conversation actions on their speech and demeanor it gets a little difficult.

Graphics: 8/10 - you can definatly see Eidos/SE didnt pull out the big guns interms of graphics, whilst it still looks crisp and the models for weapons are good, enemies can look bland and samey as well as some of the augs equipped to people, however this is to be expected with a game with this magnitude of actionable objects

Actions: 10/10 - I love the hacking, even if the tutorial isnt as complex with its explanations, as well as the take downs weapons/mods and consumables. Almost every NPC you can get a comment from. Just like the trailer you can punch through walls too! :D

Weapons 7/10: a good supply of weapons, mostly automatic and very precise, the choice of controls wasnt the best and unlike the first game there are no melee weapons but then, who needs those when you have a sword attached to your arm?

Story: 7/10 - The first game had a mix of intrigue, espionage and subversion. This game tends to be quite predictable in terms of storyline however it does tie in nicely with the original games/canon as well as bring up old enemies. Its kept me interested

Overall i've given this a PLAY rating of 5/5. There are always things we can think of that developers can do better but honestly playing through this, the only thing i could think of was sneaking up fire-escapes and hacking crap which brought back some great memories of the first game.

A Must for Deus Ex fans, A Must for anyone who loves the stealth/espionage genre

really surprised me this game, great graphics, great story that actually lasts longer than one day unlike most games that are out at the moment and great game play, what more could you ask for!!! Buy it!!

Yep! 30 mins in and i wasnt really impressed, 90 mins later and I was hooked. Fantastic looking graphics, ( I was playing Homefront before this but gave up on it half way through), Great story, Action packed game that you really can play different ways. I myself didnt like the hacking part, but loved upgrading Jensons abbilities. (Who sounds a lot like Clint Eastwood from Heartbreak Ridge) Nice voice acting by this guy by the way. Best bit is taking out police officers and hiding the bodies in the air vents. Punching through walls, sniper rifle, crossbow, plasma gun, taking out 2 guys together with just your fists etc etc etc. Great game at 40 pounds....an essential purchase at 15 pounds....you wont regret it.

I've never played any of the Deus ex series before and decided to try this after a friend recommended it. My expectations were blown away within the first hour of play time. If you like metal gear solid for example, this is going to be right up your street. Hacking, stealth, silent takedowns, everything spells awesomeness. If your a fan of stealth survival games, this is a must have for you, the graphics are brilliant, the game play is smooth, well put together and easy to work out, the story completely envelopes you. what more can you ask for?

This game has an exceptional storyline that can be completed in a whole manner of different ways. From 'die hard-esque' run and gun tactics to a stealthy 'Splinter Cell' elusive style. Its a great game. Graphics are first class; musical score is atmospheric and voice acting is well....ok. Speaking for myself, I can say that I enjoyed it from start to finish and is possibly one of the best in the class of 2011. I wouldn't hesitate in spending gamer pennies on it!
