PS2 Underrated Gem: Deus Ex: The Conspiracy

I remember i picked this game up for PS2 ona whim. It just kinda pulled me to it. I got hooked instantly to it, and when i recommended it to my friends, they had all beat it on PC. I was pissed they didn't recommend it sooner.

Try the PC version, way better than the PS2 version, and that is saying alot

supper,extra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 

I just haven't got any slots for the knife, usually, so it wasn't a problem at all. X)))
(if you have extra slots-you can always take a can of soda)

Yes, they ARE understandable, and still... Reading datacubes and finding useful information (mainly logins/passwords) was a part of the original game, and it was what you may call "tasty" for the player. And, btw, what do you do if you have 'computers' skill at the 'untrained' point? Is there a way to somehow log in?

If you can't hack the computer, just like the PC version, you've just gotta find a datacube with the login info on it, and it automatically logs you in. You've just gotta find the datacube first.

And overall GUI style has been changed to something cartoon-like...
(well, it may resemble some Gibson books illustrations, BUT...)
Still the inventory tab seems to be inavoidable on a console, and it seems comfortable and elegant. BTW, does the inventory have any limit? It was a surprise for me to see a GEP gun carried along with a shotgun, pistol, sniper rifle and an automag (plus tons of medkits, tools, food etc.). The PC-version inventory could hardly be large enough for such an overload.

Well, the graphics are somehow better, than basic PC version, but the gameplay and GUI seems simplified to me. And gamepads do not justify ALL of the downgrades. I.e. I don't get the idea of putting the HP-tab instead of original damage areas (head, limbs, torso), as well as changing the computers login interface that much. Those were kinda "hotspots", parts of making the game that great. Why change it to something so casual?

The computer logins are understandable though. It's not as if every PS2 owner would be playing it with a keyboard, so they simplified it so the game does it for you.

As for the inventory, yes, it's been expanded. There is some management, but only through a set number of slots. In the very least, you don;t have to drop that stupid combat knife, that everyone carries, every two seconds like in the PC version. That was the biggest annoyance to me in that version.

The PC version is harder than the PS2 version, i played both version on hardest difficulty setings, no autoaiming, no cheating on PS2.

The PS2 version supports the use of a USB keyboard and mouse, so you can use that to improve the aiming.

My guess is that they have to cope with the fact that the PS2 players are more than likely using a controller to aim, so they may have adjusted the A.I. accordingly to not be as unforgiving in order to give people the extra time required to aim.
