Re: Deus Ex IW impressions?

I've been playing it for 3 days now..

Reminds me of KOTOR, as the scripting and mission choices define what type of person you are. Its got a secret society/global conspiracy type of story line, but I haven't played long enough to really find much out. The basic gist is that you are a trainee for a special operations agent program, and the government is locked in conflict with a religous faction that has unified all the worlds religions. This religous sect called the "Order" is trying to recruit you away from the government by telling you've been brainwashed and used. At this point I don't know who to trust, but I think that's the point..

Graphics-wise, the characters are well-done and the environments are pretty nice. The PC version kills the XBOX version in the looks dept though. The framerate is decent.


The gamplay is again very similar to KOTOR, lots of wandering about, asking lots of questions, getting lots of requests for various side jobs and such. TONS of weapons available, alomst too many. You only have a certain ammount of inventory slots and I constantly find myself debating on what to keep and what to dump. (Should I keep this nice stun baton or roll with these concussion grenades I just found?)Its almost frustrating because I have no locker or place to store stuff, so I always feel like I'm leaving something important behind.

The combat is pretty common FPS stuff, nothing grounbreaking.

Overall, I like it alot. Seems like the developers focused on making this game as non-linear as possible. I think they were going for the GTA III, do whatever formula, though so far the environments have been pretty limited (Upper Seattle consists of a coffee shop, a club and an apartment building. You can choose to follow the government orders you are given or try to contact the order or both...

More later.
