[PC, PS3, X360] Review Roundup - Deus Ex: Human Revolution

[PC, PS3, X360] Review Roundup - Deus Ex: Human Revolution
GameSpot - 8.5/10 - "It is true that many of its individual elements don't withstand close inspection. But those elements add up to an impressive and absorbing adventure that invites you to improvise. You glide from rooftops like a cyberpunk angel in a world on the brink of technological breakthroughs and socioeconomic disaster, and uncover conspiracies in the unlikeliest of places. The longer you play, the more the story grabs you and the more you appreciate the customizability of the game. Hybrid games like this are uncommon. Even more uncommon are games with Human Revolution's power to eclipse its quirks with such enthralling atmosphere and exciting adaptability."

Game Informer - 8.5/10 - "I know I take issue with many aspects of this game, but these flaws don’t hold Human Revolution back from being an entertaining adventure through a riveting story and world. It rewards those who fight through it with a fantastic plot payoff and a great sense of character progression. The problematic gunplay and annoying stealth takedown mechanics keep the game from greatness, but if played a certain way, Human Revolution captures the spirit of its predecessors and can be a blast. Even if it’s not a masterpiece, this entry lays the groundwork for a promising future for the series."

IGN - 9/10 - "While Deus Ex: Human Revolution can't be the revelation that Deus Ex was in 2000, it's an achievement nonetheless. It's a visionary, considered piece of work, and while my thoughts drift to the things that could have been and the compromises made due to the possibilities of video games in 2011, they're just as quick to consider playing through it again. Human Revolution is a smart, rewarding piece of transhumanist noir that does justice not just to Deus Ex, but to the fiction that inspired it. "

Eurogamer - 9/10 - "But the important point is that Deus Ex: Human Revolution is one of those rare games that knows you can't be perfect all the time, and that you have the right to change your mind about your actions later. It just wants to be played with and enjoyed - and when you finish, you just want to play with it again."

GameTrailers - 8.7/10 - "The Human Revolution should be televised--from your couch or computer chair. Deus Ex offers a good deal of mischief to get into, and it's all backed up by a great stealth system and a solid shooting game. With its variable story, as well as how it encourages you to alter your approach to obstacles, it's also a game that rewards multiple playthroughs. The future is bleak and at times ugly, but we wouldn't have it any other way."

There was bosses in the first one.
But they where easy to beat by the time you had to.

The stungun tech only worked when it wanted to

More annoying that a rocket luncher HAD NO EFFECT!!

Think I might still have a recording of the rocket going right threw him
(Got into the habit of recording game footage)
Was going to do a comantray till two of the discs messed up (two hours of game footage gone)

Im trying to like it I really am, but theres to much I hate about it so far.
Starts out awesome like with most games, then fizzles into the realm of "Urghness" and starts to feel like there padding it
