Need something like Deus Ex.....

[LittleGrizzly]

The most exciting game i have ever played it and the total wars are my favourite games for different reasons, deus ex has the amazing storyline the exciting action and a great setting, but theres a problem, i have completed the game several times and in the middle of a run through now

Im at the bit

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

where you have just been captured by gunther and arrive in the MJ12 bit, one of my favourite parts of the game, i find hong kong a bit of a drag at the start though...

So anyway onto my question is there anything similar to Deus Ex out there, something kind of similar will do it doesn't nessecarily need to have all the elements of deus ex.... any ideas ???

Thief series or Deus Ex 2 (which, despite naysayers, is actually pretty good if you ignore the absence of RPG elements)

I actually own a copy of Invisible war but never played it because of the negative hype, my computer also wiped out i think it may be able to handle it now though.... may have to give it another go... did warren spector (sp?) make IW as well ? or was it different people working on it ?

May have to look into thief as well.. i enjoyed the demo of the first one when i played it years ago never got around to buying it though.... whats the latest one thief 3 ?

My two cents.

Deus Ex: Invisible War was beyond terrible for a number of reasons, not the least of which was that it quite literally was a halfarsed port from the console. It FELT and played like it belonged on the console with a joypad. The other reason is that they did indeed gut the game, and removed nearly all of the depth and complexity that made the original good. If you absolutely have to try it out, at least do yourself the favor of installing the fan-made graphics patch, just Google for it.

If you haven't, you could always try System Shock 2. There's a compilation patch out recently that fixes most of the Windows XP compatibility issues. This and Thief 1/2 are probably as close as you're going to get to what you're looking for.

Personally, I did not like Thief 3 at all, again mainly because of the engine. It just felt and played like a horrible port from the console, thus I never got too far into it. Others here have enjoyed it though, so perhaps that might be an option for you.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. Very similar style of gameplay, firstperson RPG.

Invisible War is absolutily worth playing, most dissapointing sequel ever but still good game with a few flashes of brilliance.
