Most people won't want to rush through Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Unlike our most recent string of previews--each based on multi-hour play sessions--Human Revolution's E3 demo was a relatively short 20-minute jaunt through a research lab just outside of Shanghai. Between you and your goal stand a number of enemies, including well-armed security forces (this is a lab working on highly valuable cybernetic augmentations), as well as dozens upon dozens of scientists. Hey, this is a role-playing game. The role we decided to play just happened to be a guy who hates scientists.
(See, our version of hero Adam Jensen not only hates science, but he's also incredibly paranoid and self-conscious.) What came next was a maze of hallways, locked doors, and security guards. The result was a string of dead guards, more than a few dead scientists, and lots of expensive lab equipment that would need to be replaced. Our version of Adam Jensen hates Post-it notes.
Having run out of objects to throw at people--and feeling a need to quiet everyone down lest more robot guards come scrambling our way--we simply picked up this guy's corpse and hurled it at a cowering civilian. We managed to make it there relatively unscathed, though the fact that we were playing on easy difficulty certainly helped quite a lot. Yeah, playing as a stealth assassin on a higher difficulty is probably much more rewarding. No matter how you choose to play the game, you can expect to see Deus Ex: Human Revolution released on August 23.
