    "Der Nachfolger des Spiels des Jahrzehnts" - PC Games

    Als ein Terroranschlag Chichago zerstört, müssen Sie lebenswichtige Entscheidungen treffen:

    Wem können Sie vertrauen? Wer ist Ihr Gegner? Welche Ihrer Fähigkeiten wollen Sie weiterentwickeln, um in diesem unsichtbaren Krieg zu überleben?

    Ob Sie sich unbemerkt von Ihren Gegnern durch die Level schleichen oder ob Sie sich mit voller Feuerkraft durchschlagen - am Ende wird Ihre eigene Geschichte mit keiner anderen vergleichbar sein!

Atari Australia Press Quotes - Windows:
    " Cheers to Ion Storm for raising the gameplay bar once again, and giving us a reason to look forward to the future of gaming. 4/5 stars" - Gamesdomain.com

    "Truthfully, through its ups and downs, pros and cons, this is a game not far short of greatness, one I can recommend to any RPG fan. The non-linearity, physics engine, memorable storyline and other key elements give Deus Ex: Invisible War a uniqueness all its own, providing a compelling gaming experience that feels more like you're in an interactive movie than playing an ordinary computer game. " - RPG Vault

    "The issues that surface in Invisible War are timeless. Does technology corrupt people or do people corrupt technology? Can people be trusted or must there be an enlightened leadership to steer them? Such questions could be asked outside of this context. That they are asked in the game makes the product that much more mature and engrossing. " - Gameover.net

    " Cheers to Ion Storm for raising the gameplay bar once again, and giving us a reason to look forward to the future of gaming. 4/5 stars" - Gamesdomain.com

    "That's the real draw here -- the sense that you're playing an active role in shaping the destiny of the world. Starting as a relatively ignorant pawn of the powers that be and moving up to be one who actually makes or breaks those powers is nowhere more engaging than in this game. 9/10" - IGN.com

    " It's certainly a bold undertaking that delves into some philosophical and science-fiction territory that most games wouldn't dare touch, and though it may not be a superior game to its predecessor, on its own merits it's a great and original experience that's well worthwhile. 8/10" - Gamespot.com

    " Deus Ex2 Invisible War sets precedence for non linear game play and for variety of ways to accomplish missions and to finish a game. Ion Storm have worked hard to present a graphically splendid game. You really are not just a player in a linear game. You choose what side to fight on. You choose how to fight. You choose how the game is played. Deus Ex: Invisible War is the master of storytelling and gameplay excellence. 84%" - Gamebiz.com

    " the game still deserves a slightly higher score due to a tremendous effort that went into the open-ended gameplay, as well as the overall design. Deus Ex: Invisible War is an enjoyable first-person RPG certainly worth your attention and money. 84%" - Actiontrip.com
