Yes, it seems that despite all these cool devices and advances in technology, one of the game’s aims is to show you can end conflict though peaceful, non-violent means, allowing players to make an ethical statement through their actions. A game with a first person narrative, Deus Ex 2 sees you armed with many weapons and abilities such as guns, biotech modifications that allow you to see through walls, leap through the air and globe-hop, and the uncanny ability to end conflict through your… words? Huh? The whole idea of the game is that you play as a member of a resistance force that is battling against the dark, brainwashing forces of evil in attempt to fix the world back up again. Who’s going to stop them? Why you are, of course. While the World is a weakened state however, a few pesky religious and political factions see an opportunity to reshape the world and governing bodies to suit their agendas and gain power for decades to come. Approximately 20 years after the events of the first game, the World has just about recovered for a catastrophic economic depression.
Thanks to developers Ion Storm, the world of Deus Ex is back with another dark storyline to offer, and this time available on games consoles, as well.
