The verdict
A streamlined, console-born Deus Ex sequel with an engaging faction story but tiny levels, constant loading and a rough PC port. Skip it unless you've played the original.
Great for
Deus Ex fans wanting the story's conclusion who don't mind installing the Visible Upgrade fix
Main risk
Black screens, crashes and a cramped, dumbed-down game compared to the original
