Visuals:
The visuals for Deus Ex: Human Revolution is visually stunning for most part of this game but it is also dated in the detail in character model's, but still stunning to look at nun-the-less and in most parts of the visuals I experienced very little frame rate issues, but they were still their and especially with the non-playable-character's where a piece of there arm or leg would be in with wall or some time's it be stuck their in a door and this is not just when the character was dead or knocked out this was like this with some of the character that were a live especially when they were not in patrol mode you might see this this happen and this is just a minor occurrence through out the game and depending on how you play it but the visuals are still great to look at even though the detail's to the environment's are slightly dated but but the are still the best thing about this game visually. Now the detail to the character model's are dated well except for the main character Adam Jansen and the detail to most of the other NPC's are in great detail but not all of them and some of them are really dated to look but still it's not that bad and they do seem a little stiff when moving around as Adam and most the NPC's just seem to move a little sluggish. So despite some frame rate issue to the visuals and some dated detail's to the environment's and character model's the cut scene's were amazingly done well and their was not much lag in the cut scene's and I found they flowed well enough between gameplay and cut scene. So in short for the visuals for Deus Ex: Human Revolution and that they are a little dated for 2011 but they still great to look at.
Audio:
The audio for Deus Ex: Human Revolution is just spectacular from the voice work to the sound of the weapon's and the sound track/musical score to the game it was all great to hear. So I'll start with the musical score/sound track of the game and that it was just great and it really set the atmosphere and at time's it felt I was actually their in the future with Adam Jansen. So the sound track/musical score was great and now the sounds of the weapon's and I do realize what the developer's wanted to do with the sound's of the weapon's and that was make them sound like what they might sound like in the future and I personally found that they hit the mark on the weapon's superbly. Now the voice work for this was just great and I knew some of the voices but I just could not put my finger on who they were but the voice work was just amazing and I would not be surprised if the voice actors for this game get's nominated for/or win a VGA for the voice talent because I thought just like every one else does for this game and that the voice work is just amazing. So in short for the audio is that it is just simply spectacular.
Gameplay:
Now the gameplay for Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a bit boring and uninspiring to play for most part of the game until he end of the game but I'll leave it at that and talk more about how I find this game a little boring and uninspiring and that is even though you can play this game with an aggressive play, an stealth play and adaptive play and I personally played most of this game with the stealth approach so I could play this game more in a third person view sort of speak because I like to play most RPG's in that view more then in the first person view and I have a problem with the A.I in this game and I know the developer was going with the A.I in this game depending on how you approach the situation in the and if you took the adaptive approach you can hack in to systems so you can turn of the camera's and turn turrets and robots to your side so you have some help and also this set's an distraction so you can get by a certain area with no problem's at all. If you play through this game with a stealthy approach and when you are moving around in a crouched position the A.I will not see you at all or even not realize you are their in most part's of the game and there were other part's in this game where the A.I just spots you know matter what you do even in the parts at the end of the game where sneaking around is not going to happen for you unless you have a lot of gas grenades and Tranquilizer darts so you can knock out the deranged enemies at the end of the game. Then you got the aggressive way to play which just is run and gun it bit the A.I is pretty weak in some part's of the game but highly accurate at the same time which in some part's of this game can be a little annoying, but now enough about the ways you can go through in the game. So for me I found the story was a little slow and boring and the plot of the game was great but a little confusing at time's because you were a apparently an ex-cop that became an head of security for a high profile corporation and during a plot that saw your main character Adam Jansen become severally injured that could have made him a vegetable or just simply enough killed him but no, the company that hired you decide's to save your life and make you an augmented person which is some that is a half man/half droid but for Adam Jansen it came with a secret that you don't find out tell near the end, and so after all of this you are a mission to find out you was behind the attack on Serif Industries and the kidnapping of some major scientist's. This game just seems to have you go through it from plot to plot and so it can make this game a little confusing at time's ans so this game try's to leave you in suspense throughout the game but it kind of fail's at it. Now I'll talk about the boss battle's and I for one found them really dull, boring and pointless and they were either hard or just plain pointless and it was like they were trying to make have some sense of having a strategic sense and I felt they kind of missed the mark with the boss battles. So in short for the gameplay for this game it has a great feel and approach any and all situation's in any way you choose to deal with an Aggressive, Adaptive and Stealthy play style's but the story was lacking and the plot could have you a little confused and the boss battle's are little lack luster and despite some of those issues with the gameplay it is still a fresh and keeping to main material of the original game and the gameplay is just plain good not great.
Overall:
The overall point for Deus Ex: Human Revolution and despite I fell like I should give this game a 7.5 for the for the lack luster gameplay and boring story and a bit of a confusing plot, but this game has a very great looking visual but dated and still great to look at character models and decent but still amazingly looking environments and great audio from the sound track/Musical score, sound effect's for all the weapon's and superb voice acting but I'm not going to give this game a 7.5 because this game will keep you busy for hours with multiple play through's, so this game is worth picking up at the $ 60 price tag and if you are not sure you can all ways rent it first before you buy but you should not be disappointed with game at and you should go and check this game out.
7.5 out of 10
