Deus Ex: Invisible War vs Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell
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.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell is the first of the highly successful steath action game, Splinter Cell, based on Tom Clancy's award-winning novels. In this game, you play as Sam Fisher, a well-trained secret agent of the NSA's off-the-books division, the Third Echelon. As such, you'll need to infiltrate enemy's locations, acquire crucial intelligence and get to the extraction spot by any means necessary. Of course, as a secret operative set in the future, you'll have access to a plethora of incredible gadgets and devices to help you in your missions, but being a stealth-based game, you can't really attract too much attention from the enemies or you will quickly find yourself overwhelmed.Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell is the sort of tactically-charged stealth game that will make fans of the genre wet themselves in excitement. It's one of the more unique game franchises to have come out of the Tom Clancy brand after all.
