I will pick it up if it ever comes out to $29.99-$39.99.(3rd party games should either be 8.0+ or a AAA exclusive to be worth $60 on the Wii U). BTW is this another FPS? |
No, it's isn't another FPS. It has some role playing elements, but it can be played three ways; total shoot'm up through the game, or total stealth through the game where you get achievements (or whatever the Wii styled cheevos offer) for completing the game within certain parameters, and it's hard to do as well. Then there's a combination of the two. If you have a PC, I would recommend playing the fiast Deus Ex, as it can be played on a low end PC and it can be gotten for real cheap; if you can get past older graphics, the gameplay and story is very good.

You forgot lots of styles to go through this game. My personal favourite: as a hacker pacifist who goes running straight to where enemies are (screw stealth) and punch 'em in the face while eating lots of energy bars. =P

There are only three styles in DE:R, stealth, shooting and a mix of the two. Hacking is an imperative in the game, it isn't like you get to play that aspect by choice. Unlike the Splinter Cell games where you have a few options to get past certain barriers other than hacking (as an example), DE:R doesn't offer that. What kills DE:R for me is that none of that works well if you can't advance skills by doing things other than just being stealthy. Many games have hacking abilities but reward you for doing it without having to also do stealth to increase other skills.

Hacking is not imperative except for the very first terminal, which is mandatory in order to learn how to properly hack. My first playthrough was without leveling hacking, and there was no barrier (except for a side-quest which level 3 of hacking was needed) for my character because of it through the whole game. You don't need to be stealthy to advance skills.
