Thats right, remember it??
Its the game that was released to criticl acclaim and gathered numerous "Game of the year" tags from various magazines and websites. Now with Deus Ex 2 on the way, and promising to be "even more ground breaking than the first" I decided to buy this game, after a lot of deliberation (and seeing it in a shop for £5) , expecting to be in for a very cheap treat, oh how I was disappointed.
The game starts well, the training mission is helpful and the first real mision is also great, with all the sneaking about but after that....the game deteriorates, it just isn't enjoyable, tedious even. This may just be me, but its not...My friend also hates the game and he likes any first person shooter that you can move in (ie. all of them).
As the hype now begins for Deus Ex 2 and the anticipation to it being even better than the "world beating" original I must ask the question:
Did anyone actually like Deus Ex?? I didn't, and none of my friends did, yet it was an extremely well recieved game, maybe it was the RPG undertones, I don't know, but what I do know is that I am not on the Deus Ex 2 bandwagon and will be refraining from buying it.
Anyone else agree??

I thought Deus Ex was fantastic, I found it got better as you go long, especially as you near the end.
How far have you got? It is a bit annoying at times, but I found the overall experience brilliant.

Deus Ex's free form exploration was kind of unique when it was released, but its been done to death so many times since and in some cases done better that you've probably played some of the newer titles that have been released, so Deus Ex feels old hat.
I agree FM, but I still don't think any game has matched up to Des Ex in that department.
I only completed it a few months ago.

I reckon I'm only about halfway through it, and I'm getting exremely ****** off, but my mate has completed it, and never liked it, he just kept going because he doesn't like to leave things unfinished.
I think the title was devised by a drunk developer
lol
I thought it was fantastic too, and unlike most games, it really does get better and better the further you get.
Well, for me. :0)
*feels like running away, crying, as he and friend are the only ones who disliked it*
