Much of this is, again, result of having been designed for the original Xbox, though bland futuristic setting and inferior writing somehow make it feel like both a big budget sequel and a cheap straight-to-video knock-off of the first game. Now that disappointment has fade, and the new incarnation of Deus Ex has got its own sequel, is it time to re-evaluate Invisible War for what it is, rather than what we hopped for 13 years ago? Itd be great if the answer was yes, but replaying it now, Invisible War has aged about as poorly as a game can. Coming second to one of the greatest games of all time would hardly be a shame, though. Looking back all these years later, question isnt whether or not Invisible War was a better game than Deus Ex, because the answer is flat no. Such is the risk of following up one of the best games ever make. Everything that the original map does so well, its return trip fails miserably to match. Once natural choices now state outright, blunt and simplify. The Map split into chunks because the system can't keep it all in memory. Inferior aesthetics that make every location look the same. In Invisible War, it is more sign of submission, where sequels many concessions to original Xbox hardware are all on display. In first game, its symbol of ambition: one of the largest and most intricate game spaces designed up to that point, full of secrets and ways to chart your own path. First mission of Deus Ex, last mission of Invisible War. It book-end series-as-was, prior to the Human Revolution. The Statue of Liberty doesnt play a huge role in either Deus Ex or its sequel, but Ive still come to think of it as a symbol of those games.
