Deus Ex: Invisible War vs Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
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.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the last chapter where you play as Solid Snake as he pursues his arch nemesis, Liquid Ocelot. Set 5 years after the events in Metal Gear Solid 2. Liquid Ocelot is poised to take control of the world's most powerful AI system, the Sons of the Patriots, and if this happens, all the PMCs worldwide will be in serious trouble.The game has been hailed by many as an epitome of the stealth-based action-adventure game franchise and perhaps one of the greatest games of all time. The gameplay is as epic as ever, and the graphics and sound even more so. The storyline is very well-written and paced as well, giving players the chance to experience a new level of immersion that was previously unheard of.
If you own a PlayStation 3, you might want to give this game a try, especially if you've enjoyed any of the Metal Gear Solid games so far.
