I just finished, “Deus Ex: Human Revolution”, one of the newer games released for the PS3 not too long ago. I became interested in this game by all the great reviews this game was getting online. So I figure, I would buy it myself and give it a try.

I never heard of the Deus Ex game series before, so I didn’t realize that this is the third game of the series. “Deus Ex: Human Revolution” is actually a prequel of the first game, “Deus Ex”. I think the reason I never heard of the “Deus Ex” series because the first two games were PC released only games, I believe.

“Deus Ex: Human Revolution” is about a man named, Adam Jensen, who was a former police officer and now he is a security guard working for Sarif Industries. Sarif Industries has been attacked by terrorists, and Adam is forced to get surgery to put mechanical augmentation into his body. He’s not exactly a robot or an android, he’s actually human but the mechanical augmentations helps humans survive. He was ordered by Sarif, the owner of Sarif Industries to go investigate the attack and hunt down the ones responsible for the attack.

The game is a mix of a role playing game and first person shooter. It has different styles of game play. There is, “Combat”, “Stealth”, “Hacking”, and “Social”. “Stealth” is that you must hide from guards, getting to a certain location you need to go to without getting spotted. If you get spotted by a guard, he will call for backup and they’ll try to find you. “Hacking” is when you hack into a computer to read e-mails, look through security cameras, break into rooms, etc. “Social” is when Adam is talking to a character, you get to choose what to say yourself.

To explain what augmentations are more, they are technological modifications that gives you superhuman abilities. The game is very futuristic looking in a cyberpunk world.

On with my thoughts on the game, I was very impressed with it. I think this is the best new game, I played so far in 2011. My only complaint, is that the game play graphics aren’t that great. It still made you feel like you were playing a PC or a PS2 game, but the cut scene graphics were better. Another complaint I have is that the bosses were a bit too easy.

Other than that, I had a blast playing the game. The game play was so much fun and addicting. I just couldn’t stop playing it. I loved stealth. When you first start to play the game, you’ll get confused and think it is really hard at first, but keep playing. You’ll get better and get the hang of things as time goes along.

I was most impressed with the story. The story was pretty masterful, and I hope Hollywood does a movie on this series. I also hope the gaming industry would re-release the first two “Deus Ex” games so we can catch up on them. The Adam Jensen character was one of the coolest video game characters created. I thought this game was really good. Check it out.
