i have sunk a few hours into it so far, trying 2 differing approaches of stealth/non-leathel attacks and running/gunning. either can work, but i'd say most of the maps i've been on so far have been designed around stealth rather than full frontal assault, there's alot of possibilities/side paths etc to abuse the ai frankly.

saying that though, gunplay isn't the worst i've seen - would say it works better and flows easier than something like FEAR or mass effect even, once you've alerted an area or group of enemies to your location they will swarm your last known position taking cover along the way. headshots will still drop most in one shot - especially with weapon damage upgrades.

one thing that makes either approach work well imo is that cover is basically anything, corners, boxes, barrels, tipped palets and so on - once you get strength upgrades you can even make your own cover - or throw stuff into groups of enemies to make them split up.

the only thing that has disapointed me so far is the lack of enemies at once, the most i've had to deal with so far is around 8, in a large enough room where i could avoid engaging all 8 at once - console legacy i guess, it would be alot more exciting and punishing if there was double that number and the AI patrolled in pairs.

you can still pick up a copy from http://www.greenmangaming.com/games/rpgs/deus-ex-hum... using their -20% promo code (20SUM-MERSA-VINGS) for £23.80, they'll mail you a steam key. picked up dead island from the same site for around the price.

overall i reccomend it to pretty much anyone who enjoys a good rpg or fps run & gun alike

Personally im ever hopeful you'll find a nice deep game with a solid story to chew in to all that CoD cant be good for you
