In contrast, I could barely get through the first few levels of Deus Ex 2: Invisible War, a horrible excuse for a sequel that succeeded in doing little more than alienating the majority of the game's original fan base.
The sequel was just awful! And I even made my friends watch me play...until I threw down the controller in disgust and backed away from the TV in horror. I had gotten stuck in an area with no way out. I had also somehow let loose a miserable alien creature that proceeded to walk around mumbling and crying and generally stumbling into walls due to the poor pathfiniding mechanics. Come to think of it, the creature was a startlingly realistic portrayal of just how I felt at that exact moment. How profound!

That horrible memory, now 4 years in the past, still lingers in my mind. I'm sure that similar nightmares haunt the minds of many a Deus Ex fan that had the misfortune to pick up and play Invisible War.
It's these same fans that Eidos Interactive is hoping to win over with their latest installment in the series, Deus Ex 3. The game has been in development at the Montreal studios of Eidos for quite some time, and has a long way to go still. Currently I'm being cautiously optimistic, but at the same time preparing myself for complete disappointment and utter horror.
