Crysis 2 vs Deus Ex: Invisible War
Crysis 2
Crysis 2 lets you put on the incredibly high-tech nanosuit once again and reprise your role as the defender of humanity against the alien threat that is growing by the day. Use the suit's upgraded abilities, ranging from invisibility to bonus armor and to power boost, as well as an arsenal of weapons to tackle various aliens in the urban landscape of New York City. The gameplay is also pretty similar to Counter Strike or Call of Duty so don't go in expecting cover-based shooting like Ghost Recon's games.Similar to the first Crysis game, Crysis 2 no longer has servers to support its multiplayer function. Regardless, the game is still a gem and if you love Crysis, you'll want to get this game as well.
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.
