I have to disagree with Oct. on this one. I ignored the reviews and bought DEx2 hoping for the best. The graphics, etc. are somewhat improved but it lacks the two elements that made the original great - scope and atmosphere.
The maps are tiny -- smaller than some of the mansions in the original - and have a generic feel about them. I hear that's because its a straight X-Box port. The plot is also less interesting, the characters less interesting, the settings don't really have a feel about them (tiny maps with no real vistas, etc.) Great console game though, but only average to less than average by PC FPS or RPG standards.
Warren Spector really sold out on this one, IMO. Cashing in the the console market with the brand name, but ignoring the fact that the X-Box can't replicate the elements that made Deus Ex unique.
I'm working to finish the Desu Ex 2 and playing a lot of the new Playstation I got for X-Mas. My wife actually got addicted to "The Simpsons - Hit and Run" and we play that together (switching off) from time to time.
