Many are still dubious about buying this and thats fair enough. I picked it up for 30 quid and is it worth that? Would i of paid more? Yeah. There is a lot of games out there for 40 quid that will last you 4-10 hours, even those with a multiplayer. Take the red faction armegeddon, when you've completed its mediocre 5 hour campaign, there is a survival mode which may give you another hour. * +

Six hours for a 40quid/60 dollar game. Now take deus ex, some never played the first two games. I did and hated em so naturally i was cautious but wanted a new game so i bought it. Firstly, the main story arc has been estimated at over 25 hours. Then there's side missions. For exampled, one side mission lasted me half hour. The fact that the game is semi-open world allows for a different approach * +

Should i hack the gate or find an alternate route? Pile boxes to reach a ladder and go in through the rooftops, that sort of thing. The game is mostly first person but goes 3rd on the active cover(which works like rainbow six vegas) or on takedowns. First proper mission had me choosing to go in lethal or non lethal, good thing is, you can ditch the stun gun for a magnum, or use stealth * +

Perhaps sneak through the entire mission, create diversions or just go in guns blazing, its up to you. The hacking system tutorial was made out to appear complicated as when its actually really easy. Weapons can be modded to tailor your preference and side quests allow for little bonuses * +

Augmentations is just a fancy way of saying upgrades. You can upgrade your strength, hacking and social skills, radar and much more. Points for these can be earned or bought. Shops and traders are scattered across the map and will sell aug upgrades, guns and black market equipment. Just about anything can be bought, even information, booze and power bars * +

Takedowns can be lethal or non lethal but use up energy which i found stupid. The game uses a dialog system more primative to say fallout or ma55 effect but with those karma choices you get. One particular scene saw me talking a terrorist out of killing a hostage using empathy and sympathy choices * +

The game looks decent enough. Moves ok but takes a little while to get into. The voice acting on some characters is utterly terrible. The hostage mentioned earlier, her sobs and moans felt on a loop and in the end i felt like shooting her myself. The facial graphics are even worse. Telling a woman her husband was dead and not even seeing a spark of emotion. * +

No multiplayer on this game which i think would of only ruined the core experience. I expect a load of dlc over the months but hope its story based and not just guns and mission packs. So far from this game i'd give it 8.7/10. Maybe if i take the next mission with guns blazing then that score will increase but its still a good game and well worth the price i paid * +
