Near Perfect Linear Gameplay, Intelligent Storytelling, Unique Art Direction, Impressive Voice Acting, Demands Multiple Replays

A Deus Ex game, and a very good one at that, Wonderful use of both first- and third-person views, E-mails and news reports do a great job of building the world, and are often funny, Many side-quests, and choices that matter as the game progresses, Varied
Beautifully realized world, Impressive range of choices for player style, Interesting storyline, Excellent presentation

Cons

Slow loading times, linear boss fights, facial animations during dialogue sequences, uneven enemy AI (not bosses) and some voice acting
Terrible boss fights; allovertheplace AI; some silly writing and voice acting.
Whose bright idea was it to put boss fights in this game?
Boss Fights Feel Incongruous, Game Slows Down When Loading Levels
Visual presentation is merely average. Easy to lose your bearings while exploring openworld city hubs.
The transitions between the game and its cutscenes can be jarring, Lack of support for NVIDIA's 3D Vision technology (3D fans can only use AMD's HD3D), The voice acting can be spotty in places, The conspiracy can get a little thick at times, and a
Simplistic and sometimes buggy AI, Horrible boss fights, Not as open as the original
