GameSpy has reviewed both the PC (4/5 stars) and Xbox versions of Ion Storm's Deus Ex: Invisible War, both garnering the same score (4/5 stars). Here's a clip from the PC review:
Deus Ex: Invisible War is far from a conventional sequel. Ion Storm has sought to refine and consolidate many of the features of the first game to create a more accessible experience, and in this it's definitely succeeded. For example, there are only a handful of keys to bind, making Invisible War's controls remarkably simple for a first-person adventure of such depth. The interface, too, is friendly and extremely useable, outside of maybe a few oversights related to the inventory screen and mouse support. Compared to the hardcore-slanting PC original, Invisible War is the very definition of pick up and play.
The reviews are nearly identical, but hey, so are the versions. Read on, McDuff...
