Call of Duty: Black Ops vs Deus Ex: Invisible War
Call of Duty: Black Ops
Call of Duty: Black Ops puts you in a different place to all of the other Call of Duty games. Here you are in the 1960’s cold war era and there are dark shadows moving. You step into the role of a CIA agent on the hunt for a dangerous enemy.Though the setting is different you still have all of the gameplay and features of the series that you love. There is an extensive single player campaign, that you can also complete in co op and a huge multiplayer section too. The campaign allows you to control a variety of characters in different locations all over the world and follows primarily the adventures of Alex Mason a CIA operative trying to stop a deadly plot. The multiplayer version of the game has all the experience points and game modes you love with the option to earn and spend COD points for even better gear. One of the best games in the series this departure from the norm is an experience you do not want to miss.
Deus Ex: Invisible War
Deus Ex: Invisible War is the first sequel to the Deus Ex game franchise and is perhaps one of the least known version. Set in a world 20 years after the events in the first game has concluded, Deus Ex: Invisible War lets you take part in the dark struggle between massive religious sects and powerful political factions that are hellbent on setting up and securing a world government that will pass policies that are in their favor; policies that will change the human society for decades and maybe centuries to come. The storyline in this game may be dark and dreary, but it is supported by plenty of responsive plot branches that will shape your narrative based on your actions and decisions.Aside from the many amazing new augments added to your arsenal, Deus Ex: Invisible War even has a much improved AI and stealth system where enemies will actively seek you (the intruder) out even when any sound is detected. This makes its stealth gameplay a whole lot more challenging. Of course, like the previous game, you'll also be given multiple (more peaceful) ways to avoid conflict if you so wish to.
Deus Ex: Invisible War is unfortunately the black sheep of the franchise. It has plenty of problems and let's not even mention about the incredibly long loading screens. Honestly, if you can afford the other games in the series, you might want to get those instead.
