YMMV: Deus Ex Invisible War
  • Anti-Climax Boss: JC Denton sure sucks in this game.
  • Awesome, but Impractical: The Dragon's Tooth Sword is easily the most powerful melee weapon...but is only obtained once you start primarily fighting the durable and explosive Templar armoured soldiers and the Illuminati elite troopers that release gas on death.
  • Boring Yet Practical: The baton strikes quickly, easily takes down enemies with the increased strength biomod, and can disable cameras and turrets without exploding them with the EMP Discharge biomod.
    • As par for a Deus Ex game, the humble pistol. Accurate, easy on ammo, and the unique variants have good firepower.
  • Broken Base: There are those who liked Invisible War and those who pretend that the first game (and for another good portion of these people, the third) was/were the only installment(s) ever made.
  • Complete Monster: Grand Master Saman, Silas Archer, and most, if not all of the Knights Templar.
  • Contested Sequel: And how.
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: The Deus Ex: Invisible War Theme took the original and made it even better with a sweet vocal.
  • Disappointing Last Level: There is a certain point where all the plot threads have come together, after which the level design in the remaining couple of levels in the game becomes much less... "immersive", shall we say.
  • Ensemble Darkhorse: The Omar.
  • Game Breaker: The Spy Drone Biomod, at the highest level, can knock guards unconscious. Combine this with a repair bot, which constantly replenishes your bio-energy, and the Cloak biomod, to make you invisible, and you can secure an entire map from the safety of one room.
    • Electrostatic Discharge on level 3 turns bots and turrests on your side and disables cameras and laser beams, all just by hitting them with a melee weapon once.
