Deus Ex: Human Revolution - masterpiece!

Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Having heard of this game for the first time, it knew me please immediately. A sci-fi RPG stealth tactical shooter with captivating atmosphere and story were promised. "Genial!", I thought to myself. Since I have now at last brought me to a relatively low price for the Xbox 360, I decided to write a review.

The game plays in 2027th
Sarif Industries is the company of the managing director David Sarif. This company is responsible for the development of augmentations, ie (cybernetic) body prostheses. Man plays the 34-year-old ex-cop Adam Jensen, who works as a security specialist in the said company.
The reason is his girlfriend and niece of David Sarif, Megan Reed, who works as a scientist at Sarif Industries and David Adam has recommended.
But one fateful day will completely change Adam's life. A mercenary attacks Sarif Industries. Countless people are killed, including Adam nearly spent, but he was brought back to life by augmentations after almost 6 months. But who were these mercenaries, what they wanted and what happened to Megan in the attack? That applies, among other in the game to find out more, I do not want to reveal the story. Just this: it is very exciting and will captivate you until the end. In the game itself can be the story only slightly (which is already exaggerated) influence. The story really decisive choices are made really only at the end, of course will give anything away.
But we come to the gameplay. As I said at the beginning of this review, Deus Ex is: Human Revolution a diversified mix of genres. Anyone who thinks that the game is a pure shooter is wrong. It can indeed play as a shooter (if one should proceed tactically), but it can also be a stealth game like Metal Gear Solid or Splinter Cell games, which is tactical approach of benefit here. The choice of which of the two game modes you decide,
Although located at the players themselves, but one feels but partly forced in stealth mode to play, as this is easier to incite the huge hordes of enemies to yourself, you deserve to others in this way of playing more experience points (EP). Which brings me to the RPG Part. EP Man earned by completing mission objectives, by solving specific conditions as Unbeknownst to traverse an area during a mission, but also for the like hacking computers
If you have enough EP to get a practice point. Practice points you put again in Augmentierungsverbesserungen or in new augmentations. This also makes you get the opportunity to play that adapt to their own needs.
Another important point of this game is: The atmosphere.
Hardly any other game in 2011 had a similarly dense and oppressive atmosphere, like Deus Ex: HR. This is mainly for appearance when outside missions freely in the city (several) running around). Although these are non really open but similar to RAGE, these are just a number of tubular channels.
In the cities there are many nice details to discover. What a fall quickly standout are the many homeless people who stand in groups around lighted tons to warm themselves or making graffiti on the walls. Another thing I particularly noticed and where I do not know if this is in Deus Ex: HR is the first occurrence that is not changed or renewed etc. through scripts. In other words: you kill eg in a city any person, they will not respawn throughout the game, and the body will not simply disappear, but remains, unless you yourself acting out the whole game are over at one and the same place , The same relates to articles which can lift and throw the remains are there where you have thrown it.
I guess that is also more or less serve as substitute for storage boxes, since there are none in the game and you otherwise, if the inventory would be full, would throw away things, but fortunately remain lying yes. :)
Opponents AI is average, I say simply times. Above all, the boss fights do not need tactics. The main thing always aim at the head.
Next, I must appeal to the graphics. Again and again I have to read, how bad is it. I find that the manure is what some say. The graph I really like, certainly no reference to titles such as BF3, Skyrim or Crysis, but it is not bad either. Also: graphics are not everything.
What is also not unimportant, is the sound. The soundtrack of the game like it a lot, weapon sounds, etc. are also great. The only drawback: The dt synchronization.. The speakers and the voices of the characters are really great, but if you look to the lip movements, it creeps me again and again how this could only synchronize. Just shake their heads. Info:. In the German version of speech is just dt included..
The quests are varied, there are numerous side quests, the hacking minigame is awesome and you will get addicted. And you will be working at least 25 hours, also the replay value is relatively high. The achievements are nice and encouraging that game, for example to play through without triggering an alarm.

Here again 'ne short Pro / Contra Index:

+ Exciting story
+ Brilliant atmosphere
+ Long playing time
+ High replayability
+ More RPG elements
+ Several ways to solve a problem
+ Varied quests
+ Addictive hack game
+ Good soundtrack

- Bad dt lipsync.
- AI opponents only average

Conclusion: This game is simply a masterpiece. Apart from the poor synchronization and average AI (I can not stress enough mention)
there is absolutely nothing to complain about. Each of the RPG shooter like and on story and atmosphere emphasis needs to access. Besides Skyrim for me the GotY 2011th
