I've just finished this game and I've gotta agree with these comments (mildly paraphrased for clarity) from dannybohy I read on a gaming site here.
"Ok! If you are like me and paid silly money on your late 90`s PC rig and played the original Deus Ex and think its about the best game ever made? Then you will be very disappointed with this game.
The main reason has been mentioned in reviews here already and is very simple. We live in a gaming environment dominated and held-back by consoles!
When PC games once innovated and were years ahead of consoles they are now being held back in every way. Graphically, story-lines, mechanics, Everything!.
I imagine your average console gamer will think this is an awesome game. But a PC owner will wonder what the hell happened and why doesn't this game look or play better than the original. Its been 10 years for gawds sake!.
This game was not made for PC then ported. not even close. As soon as I spotted the option for xbox gamepad I knew I was in trouble.
The graphics are nothing like what they should be. Poor textures, lighting and don't even expect anything as nice as Crysis2 PC here!.
The mechanics are made for consoles and an awful experience trying to play with keyboard.
Its obvious the person who mapped the keyboard controls has never actually played PC FPS games.
The story is extremely predictable. The bad guys and street punks are outdated and overdone uber stereotypes. Street gangs around burning bins, prostitutes with the obvious `hey big boy , want a good time` remarks are laughable. Apart from Jensen perhaps, the facial animation is dreadful and no great leap from the original game ten years ago. Ive just spent an entire game being bored to death by obvious dialogue, door hacking, climbing through a vent, door hacking, climbing a ladder, door hacking ... ZZZZZzzzzz!
Worst of all the shooting mechanics is painful.
Even if you chose a good old shoot out to liven things up, you will wish you just carried on down the vent and up another ladder!
The aiming is console poor even with Mouse and keyboard. The bullet physics is fairyland and the weapons are as dull as dishwater.
Then there is the running around the smallest city in the world. Why not allow us to get in the cars at least?
This is another once great PC game which takes its place next to Call of Duty MW2, UT3 , when great PC game franchises died, we got short changed and held back and cra**** on with a dire console port. Afterwards I decided to install the original game instead and it's still awesome!"
Pretty much my own experience of the game and oh yeah, I forgot to tell you about the silly and tedious boss fights ....
About right ...

Many reviews complained about the game's boss fights. Specifically, for a game that promotes stealth and non-lethality, many reviewers found the boss fights (where Jensen is essentially forced into lethal firefights) incongruous. The British Daily Mirror newspaper wrote "the boss battles feel out of place",[55] PSM3 considered the game "Rich, atmospheric and open-ended, but let down by twitchy AI and out-of place boss fights".[56] Gamespot said "Poor boss fights remove the element of choice",[46] and finally Game Informer mentioned "horribly repetitious arena fights against super-powered foes that can usually drop Jensen before he even knows what hit him."[45] Square Enix outsourced the development of the boss fights to GRIP Entertainment.[57]
Cheers,
