Anyone played DX: Human Revolution, yet?

Guybrush? Ophecks?

Does it hold up on the philosophy, conspiracies, politics?
Is it a true Deus Ex game? Is it cyberpunk?

No spoilers, please. I feel motivated enough to buy myself a
PS3 for this game (and Uncharted 2).

I haven't played it just yet.. still working my way through
Demon's Souls (ps3). But from all the reviews I've read,
it's very true to the orig and definitely cyberpunky.

As it's a first person shooter, I would heartily recommend
playing it on PC over PS3 if at all possible.

Great game but be sure to play it on a decent PC as with all
first person games

I bought myself a PS3 and the game. It has to be the most
expensive game I've ever had.

Unfortunately, I could never play this on my old
laptop-computer.

Hired it out the other week for the ps3, not a bad game at
all even considering the last FPS I tried was duke
nukem:forever (pretty easy to top). Felt like it had a good
stealth feel a la MGS4 with the depth of the variable
mission approach of the original PC release. I had trouble
getting my head around the hacking once it started
increasing in difficulty though. I'm sure if I took the time
to read all the details it would become a bit more clearer
and easier though)

I got enough gameplay to keep me busy on the PS3 for a while
but If you give it a chance I would be surprised if you
don't see the value in it. I'm not surprised that it's
getting quality reviews.

It's really good, an easy 8/10. It's a tiny bit simplified
compared to the original, but so many things are improved
that it didn't bother me. I don't miss anything especially
because what I mainly remember from the first game are
horrible graphics (even for the time), embarassing voice
acting and an infantile story.

spoilers:

it is indeed a good game, very MGS:esque. the mythology on
the other hand needed some fleshing out. the daedalus-icarus
mythology is basically inexistent, as is the renaissance
theme. throughout the whole game i felt like something big
was going to happen, and had hoped for some
singularity-transcendence philosophizing, or some political
theories - but it had none of that. also i would have wanted
to be able to work for different organizations (illuminati,
the triads, the harvesters, belltower, tai yong, etc).
lastly i had hoped for some religious references (the city
on a hill, the templars, morpheus).

i'd give it a 7/10.
