Deus Ex: Invisible War Demo

[Nov 22, 2003, 12:59 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Considerably earlier than expected, the public version of the Deus Ex: Invisible War demo is now available for download. Here's word: "Only one event has been more anticipated than the December 3rd release of Deus Ex: Invisible War, and that is the release of the pre-release playable demo for Deus Ex: Invisible War. The demo gives an incredible glimpse into the unique player choice gameplay. Alex D needs transport in a jet held by Sophia Sak, mercenary. There are many ways to resolve the challenges in getting your ride, it's up to you how to choose to make it happen. You've got a few biomods and a few weapons at your disposal, but are they necessary. Will you use wits or brawn? And do you have enough of either to make it happen?" The 224 MB demo can be found on the Eidos Interactive Website, and mirrored on 3D Downloads, 3D Gamers, Boomtown (registration required), Computer Games Online, DeusEx2Files, FileFront, Filerush, FileShack (registration required), Gamer's Hell, Games Fusion, GameSpot DLX (registration required), GameTab, IGN, Loadedinc (registration required), NWSGaming, Pixelrage.ro, and Worthplaying.

Last I checked a game that runs like shit and looks like shit can't get GOTY. Oh give me a break! The graphics hardly "look like shit", they don't look as good as in the screenshots but DXIW is still the best looking game out there right now (and this is with the lowres demo textures). As for performance the game runs acceptably on my XP2100=,768 DDR and TI4600. Not great mind you but it certainly runs better than I expected (in the 40fps range). The only problem I can find with the game is the controls/interface, although I have to admit that the HUD isn't nearly as intrusive as everyone feared it would be. Now that I've played the demo enough the interface difficulties have faded away and all that's left is a really solid game that is a worthy successor to DX. It's difficult to tell whether this is the better game, the demo just doesn't show off enough of the game, but I do know that this is definately on the same level. Bring on the full version.
