Selling videogames in this industry today is just as much about creating intense hype as it is about spending millions of dollars on a flashy marketing campaign. Even industry insiders get bitten with the hype bug every now and then. And when Deus Ex: Invisible War was announced early last year alongside a few incredibly impressive screenshots, very little could be done to suppress the excitement. Being a huge fan of Deus Ex, I couldn’t wait to get my grubby mitts on the sequel. Now that I have delved into the world of Invisible War and bore witness to all it has to offer, I can’t help but think that some of my excitement leading up to its release was a tad unwarranted. Don’t get me wrong, there is a lot of RPG/FPS goodness to be had here, what with multiple paths for nearly every obstacle, amazing lighting effects, and a pretty cool physics system to boot. But for every aspect of the game that manages to impress there is an equal amount of disappointing fallacies that you have to wade through to get to them.
