    The original PC version of Deus Ex is one of my most beloved games.
    However I heard the second one was pants, so I'm not sure whether I want to go near it.
    Anyway I was browsing that new gamenash.ie site that was mentioned in bargain alerts and saw they had the xbox Deus Ex:IW for 5.99.
    Is it worth it at all?

    (It'll probably be sold anyway before I get to it)

    It's not exactly pants. It's not a patch on the original but there are enough resonances there to make it an enjoyable experience. The world and plot isn't nearly as rich but some parts of the game do have that unique DX atmosphere. I say go for it. It's still better than most FPS/RPG games on the market.

    They're supposedly developing a third installment in Montreal currently.

    I really enjoyed invisible war, thought it had a great story. Only played a bit of the original so I can't really compare them.

    Loved the original. I got the 2nd one on release and I never bothered completing it. It may have been because it was on the Xbox. Might see if I can get the PC/Mac version.

    The most disappointing sequel I've ever played (closely followed by Knights of the Old Republic 2). It would have been judged far more favourably had it not been a Deus Ex game. It takes everything that made the original great and removes or simplifies them to a degree that feels like a betrayal of the original concept.

    For 5 euro it's worth a playthrough, just remember it's nothing like the original.

    It's not on the 360 backwards compatible list though! I found it at a similar price two years ago, thinking it'd be added eventually. Still waiting...

    Of course, if you've got an Xbox, it's not a problem!

    deus ex 2 was dumbed down for consoles, so if you're playing on a xbox you'll have fun.

    Well that's that.
    I don't have an original xbox, just a 360.

    Wait, wait! If you get it, I won't be the only one waiting any more...nah, you're probably right not to bother.
