I've already pre-ordered it, glad to hear it wasn't a horrible decision. A shame they drop you in combat-only boss fights, that was one of the mayor downsides of Alpha Protocol. From the original, you did have to kill Anna baring semi-glitches, but there was a non-combat way to do it: Find the two words of her insta-kill phrase, and you could kill her without fighting. Some bosses to spice up the fights are fine, but I would've liked to see them give you the option of using the other skills to beat them. Talk them down, or talk someone else into killing them. Let them chase you into a room full of hacked turrets. Sneak above them and drop something heavy and/or explosive. That sort of thing.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution Review

I'm pretty sure that's partly because it was reviewed by a different person, partly because the whole fallout from the Dragon Age 2 score has made them a bit more cautious with 5 star scores, and partly because *REDACTED*.ultrachicken said:
So if you could kindly not mention that game again, I'm sure everyone would appreciate it. Thank you.
Yay, yay, yay, and yay. That's all it took. I just NEEDED to hear a good review for the game. I've wanted it to turn out well so much, and hearing that is has just made my day 
Now i can i'm getting it for sure. YAY

I had some mild hopes on this one, but didn't expect anything special. Now, after this review, and Jim's lack of episode thanks to DE:HR, I'm all hyped. I planned to catch up with InFamous 2 after getting some money at the end of the month, but looks like it'll have to wait.
My face on hearing Deus Ex2 isn't a disappointment:
Good enough for me, it don't matter if game scored 5,4 or heck even 3/5 so long as it has some of the magic of first game, which judging by the reviewer's anecdotes, it has.
Preloading game on steam and anxiously waiting friday ^^

For those wondering about the score, we added half-star ratings back in May to give us a bit more precision. The difference in a whole star is pretty significant, and we'd had too many pre-publish debates about whether to round up or down for scores that fell in between the marks on our rating scale.
The change was finally made to accommodate LA Noire, which, like Deus Ex, was better than a 4 but not quite a 5. The difference between a 4 and a 5 will usually depend on how forgiving the individual reviewer is of the game's faults. In my case, the faults of Deus Ex never really ruined the experience, but they just couldn't be ignored.

I believe in the time-line it occurs before the first two game, so there shouldn't be anything we need to know as, story line wise, it hasn't happened yet.DJDarque said:

Seriously though, why would every station/hideout/office place decide to spend their annual budget installing obtrusive barriers all over their floors?

The hole "combat is better in force" thing is kinda alredey there, i herd that the first one was the same. going in and poping a cap in everyones head is easy and fast but going in and sneaking around and doing leathel or non leather can be a AWSOME reward, it gives you, your a bad ass and no one saw you as you shived ther buissnes card up there ass as you where giveing them a swirley in the tolite.
still not sure about this game. i could not get in to the first one. played it when a friend got it and it just dint grab me as HL did or others. dint bother to play the second one either. i have to admit that this looks interesting but still not sure.
It's not bad... I fail at the stealth but that might change once I get some aug improvements. I absolutely can not get the hacking down but fortunately I don't really have to. I guess it really speaks in it's favor that I never feel brick walled by something I can't do.
Just because no one else seems to remember it i'm gonna put this out here
OT: I'll probably pick this up later. Meaning after i've got my PS3 sent down here, since i'd rather not have to play it on my laptop.
