“I hope players take away from it that we didn't sell out, just doing another game with a number after the name for profit, because we didn't.”-Warren Spector. I’m a Deus Ex fan, even if during the first moments of gameplay I thought it was basically UT with more storyline. The game is much more, and if some reviewer (GD) who never had a girlfriend and enjoys torturing small animals doesn’t have a clue about non-linear games, then it’s probably because the concept lies well above his understanding. Like WS mentioned, linear thinking has been with us since the beginning, so it’s a safe move to implement it. For hardcore gamers the word “accessible” is synonymous with over-simplifying; like the interviewer said: dumbing down.

I enjoy some mindless shooting once in a while, but it quickly gets boring without some strategy elements. It’s like watching “Phantom Menace” and “The Empire Strikes Back”. Episode I may have more action (to say nothing of special effects), but no bets as to which movie is better. Just my two cents here…
