![]() The biggest culprits are the cool-looking but absurdly overpowered mêlée take-downs, which - being unstoppable, instantaneous, silent and even automatically performed - essentially amount to a "I win" button. Developers should have been less afraid of punishing mistakes. ![]() Example: when you break into a suspect's house and search for evidence, the game outright tells you which is the murder weapon and when you can leave because you have collected all possible clues. Also, at least on the normal difficulty level, HR often hands solutions (and experience points) to the player on a platter. If gameplay choices are plenty, more instances of NARRATIVE choices deeper than "accept/refuse quest" would have been welcome. Hubs are finely crafted, level design inspired. True to RPG tradition, HR lets the player choose his gaming style and shape the protagonist accordingly: crawl into vents or punch through walls, hack terminals or snipe enemies from afar. Character customization allows for a wide variety of skills, going from a cloaking device to a "social enhancer" to read the personality type of your interlocutor and manipulate him. Gameplay is flexible both combat-oriented runs and stealth are viable options. The Vangelis-inspired soundtrack provides an effective blend of electronic and acoustic. A slick first-person action RPG, HR features a convincing cyberpunk atmosphere, a compelling plot, skilled voice actors delivering sharp dialogue, an intriguing art style dominated by black and gold palettes. Prequel of the 2000 classic, Deus Ex: Human Revolution (HR) is a remarkable example of a franchise revival done right. I promise you that you won't regret it, it's the most refreshing shooter experience in a long while. It tells a great story, multiple endings and ways to approach the game. So do yourself a favor and buy this or even just rent it. Sometimes I just start this game up and listen to the main menu theme for a few minutes before playing. The musical score of this game is one of the best ever and this is coming from an avid Metal gear solid fan. Other than that you really can't fault Human revolutions. The character models do look kind of ordinary at times but it's not a game breaker. The weakest aspect of the game is easily the visuals, it really doesn't have the polish of some of the bigger titles out there, especially those of you coming off Gears of war or Final Fantasy. I would suggest you play on the "give me a challenge" setting to start. The game play is great in this game, the A.I of the enemies is very acceptable. Combine that with the ability to enter buildings in multiple ways, bribe people for information to make the job easier and a questioning system that differs depending on how you respond and you have a highly re-playable game. Want to take the Solid snake route and sneak through without killing your enemies?, then that's great and even encouraged. Want to go in all guns blazing, then you can. Another reason way Human revolutions differs from other shooters is because it allows you to tackle missions in different ways. Want to be invisible? No problem, want to want to jump off any height without so much as a scratch? Got you covered. Firstly because of Adam's new enhancements he can now upgrade and develop new abilities by the use of praxis points. ![]() Where the game differs from your usual shooters is evident in two ways. It's a little strange at first but you soon get used to it and it should become second nature. ![]() However when you take cover behind things like tables, barrels, or vehicles you will change to a 3rd person view. When you are moving around the environments your point of view will be Adam's. Gameplay is mainly of the 1st person shooter variety. And this is really where it begins and your journey into the world of Deus Ex begins. Shortly after you begin the game and get a taste of how it works, things get real and Adam becomes what he dislikes the most. You play the role of Adam Jenson who works as the head of security for a company who focus on the development of human augmentation. A world where technology and bionic implants have become the major focus of the worlds developers and companies. Human revolutions sets itself in a futuristic, cyberpunk world. This game is a prequel to the original so you don't have to have played it to enjoy the story. Guess what? I was not disappointed, and you won't be either. When I first saw the trailer for this game I knew then and there that I wanted it. I hadn't played any of the Deus Ex games before this and had no idea what to expect. Deus Ex: human revolutions is one of those games that takes time to grow on you, especially if your not familiar with the series. ![]()
