Lurch ahead to a not-so-distant, but incredibly unsettling future ~ a future where everyday people are morphed into super-enhanced beings; a future where dark secrets lurk beneath the veins of America; a future that might just be leading to something even worse. Adam Jensen thought he was working for the good guys. Handpicked to protect an advanced biotechnological firm, he was designing plans to keep top scientists safe. He was helping his country, or so he thought. But now, a black ops team has burst into the firm, massacred the scientists and initiated a dark plot ~ using the very plans he designed. With a weary world now teetering on the edge of a sinister conspiracy that threatens to twist the evolution of the human race, Adam Jensen is the only person who can uncover the plot and stop a Revolution before it's too late.Deus Ex: Human Revolution transports you to the turning point of the human venture ~ the time and place just before the chilling events of Deus Ex ~ and gives you the power to decide the outcome as you become Adam Jensen. Plunge into an eerily majestic future where Renaissance elements meld with futuristic technology in mind-blowing images as you travel around the globe on an international caper. Rich and deeply imagined RPG immersion combines with realistic first-person combat to drag you into the future as you battle the thugs, special operations soldiers and robots who threaten your journey ~ and your life. An arsenal of more than 20 weapons and opportunities to enhance your character empower your struggle, but beware ~ every decision you make has consequences that affect the entire human race. Will you stop the conspiracy, or will a grim Revolution forever change the world as we know it?

This one was worth the wait, almost as good as the original. Love the gameplay, the story, the music, the feel of it, etc... One or two small glitches do not take anything away... I have to admit I did save frequently and sometimes went back to the previous save(s)... I would change the way the boss fights were handled, seems like you couldn't "customize" them, or the environment, as much as I would like to. I hope there's another Deus Ex coming out soon. The DLC is pretty good as well. I allowed my kids like to watch me play this game, wasn't too violent... imo...

This is a great twist on FPS... I think it's as almost inventive as the original Deus Ex. Best graphics I've seen on any next gen except for R&C on PS3. The combination of FPS and RPG is great. The cool thing is that you totally feel like the world of rupture is alive, all the creatures are doing their thing regardless of what you do... And yeah, its creepy at times... Highly recommended. Deserves all the GOTY awards and hype... unlike the other xbox title which I won't mention...

One of the better games I played for the next gen systems. Along with R&C, Bioshock, and Heavenly Sword, this game is on top of my list (I've not seen AC/COD4/MS yet...). As far as FPS go, it has excellent exececution, story, and pacing. I've not played a game that has a better weapon selection. I can't wait for the next game in this series. I played Halo 3 right after I finished this game and I was very dissapointed with the master chief - it seems that not much has improved since the blockbuster original. I hope this series will improve with each installment...

This game is as good as it gets. The developer, Insomniac, is one of the best around. Their first PS3 title is Resistance, Fall of Man (RFOM), which is awesome, and this is their 2nd title; can't wait for their next one. Not only are the graphics amazing, the ultra busy backgrounds make sense and integrate into the game. The controls are tight, game is varied, and its a pleasure to play. I highly recomend it. I play fps most of the time, but this is a "family game" that my daughter can watch :) Its better than 98% of cartoons out there except for the highest budget ones...
