Greasel - Yup, won all the fights. Perhaps through less traditional means.

Gansters & Ava - No idea. From the very start of this game, I did not give a damn about my character (Wait, who am I? Why would I care? Why would I actually feel any suspense right now? Why in the heck is that person supposedly my best friend? What connection do I have to this person?) I completed many quests for various NPCs, but I never really bothered with their names - I never got hooked in that way.

Omar - Actually, I joined 'em. Although a bit jacked up :o, I like their ending, too.

Lawyer - Played both sides, killed both sides.

Coffee - Played both sides to the bitter, caffinated end.

Apartments/offices - Yep. Thank gosh there are man-sized heating vents everywhere.

Templars - Both helped and hindered throughout the game; I was endlessly playing one side against the other.

Metro - All dead.

Sewer - More like a room than system, but it's now creature-free.

AI - Never did like 'er much; a bit too straight and narrow for me.

So on and so forth...

I don't know why you have such a hard time accepting that the game can be thoroughly played in a good eight to ten hours. It's not very complex, certainly dumbed down a number of items, and I certainly find it outright lacking Deus Ex's scope. If you managed to play out your game that long, that's great. Personally, I don't see how its size or scope can possibly compare to Deus Ex.

Yes, the "endings" were the same as the original. That is just one more thing that I would have hoped they would have expanded upon in the sequel. At least that one aspect stayed the same.

However, that is my issue with the game and, I tend to believe, the issue that a number of people had with the game. I expected something just as good - it had the advantage of time, feedback, and technology - and I hoped for something significantly better, but I still cannot help but find it quite shallow when compared to the original.

Decent game, but I do not think it is any type of Deus Ex sequel.

Noting that is just my opinion,
Ray

Edit: I just realized I said "one" instead of "won." /Smack self
