Deus Ex: Invisible War Review

Boomtown has posted a review of Deus Ex: Invisible War, giving the Xbox version an overall score of 8/10. An excerpt, as usual:

Invisible War is a bit of an odd game to throw into a single category; whilst the previous Deus Ex was an RPG from a first person point of view, this is much less so and relies much more on basic shoot gm-up gamepaly. For Deus Ex to shy away so much from the RPG elements upon which it was built just doesn’t (feel) right. It’s difficult to convey a story in first person form without the use of heavy scripting and this is something that Warren and the boys haven’t gotten quite right. If you’ve not played Deus Ex before then there’s still a lot for you here and Deus Ex fans will still find something in this but be warned that like most hyped products it’s not going to live up to the expectations you may have had for it.
