What is Deus Ex: Invisible War?

This single-player sci-fi action adventure takes place roughly twenty years after Deus Ex, as society recovers from a worldwide depression and rival factions seek to reshape world government. From a first-person view, you travel between locations including Seattle and Cairo, completing objectives through combat, stealth, or nonviolent means. Biotech modifications change your abilities, and your choices affect the story.
