Gamers With Jobs (hey, that's me!) published their impressions of Eidos' Deus Ex 2: Invisible War for PC:
No discussion of the Deus Ex games would be complete without mentioning the multiple paths, missions, and tracts. There are several factions that want you to serve them and will give you conflicting objectives. For instance, early on one side will ask you to steal something from somebody, while another will ask you to kill the man outright. Your choices will affect how that faction will interact with you as the game goes by, so if you piss one off early, their soldiers will be very aggressive in dealing with you later. on a more direct level, like in the first game, there are multiple methods of accomplishing each mission. While going in guns a blazing is certainly an option, there are other methods, such as stealthy sniping. Or, you could forget about killing and do some old fashion bribing and quick talking. It’s up to you.
