  Visual Walkthroughs - Deus Ex Walkthrough
Deus Ex is one of a handful of games that are regularly referenced by gamers as being the pinnacle of gameplay and freedom of choice.
Deus Ex has a setting that is filled with the age-old intrigue of the Illuminati, and the timeless struggle between those striving for order and those risking the luxury of certainty in exchange for freedom from tyranny.
But perhaps what keeps Deus Ex unique even to this day is that the hero can actually be motivated by compassion to keep his enemies alive.

 RPGFan Reviews - Deus Ex
Deus Ex on the PS2 often tends to highlight both the limitations of Sony’s hardware and the notion that some PC games should simply stay in that format.
Deus Ex strives for the stylish look of The Matrix or Blade Runner—a sort of post apocalyptic neo-noir, but the graphics are simply too generic to pull it off.
Deus Ex’s voice acting is equally noteworthy, with a small cast voicing a multitude of characters—without it being painfully obvious it’s the same people.

 Illuminati: Encyclopedia II - Illuminati - The Bavarian Illuminati
In the conservative state of Bavaria, where the progressive and enlightened elector Maximilian III Joseph von Wittelsbach was succeeded (1777) by his conservative heir Karl Theodor, and which was dominated by the Roman Catholic Church and the aristocracy, such an organization did not last long before it was suppressed by the powers of the day.
The Bavarian Illuminati have cast a long shadow in popular history thanks to the writings of their opponents; the lurid allegations of conspiracy that have colored the image of the Freemasons have practically opaqued that of the Illuminati.
Writer Robert Gillette claimed that these Illuminati ultimately intend to establish a world government through assassination, bribery, flmail, the control of banks and other financial powers, the infiltration of governments, mind control, and by causing wars and revolution to move their own people into higher positions in the political hierarchy.

 Bob Page (Deus Ex character)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Page was a major power behind the push for nanotechnology, and was a part of the enhancement project that JC and Paul Denton went though.
The final blow to the Illuminati was when Page gained almost total control of the information infrastructure through the Aquinas Protocol/Hub at Area 51 and the Daedalus A.I., making it nigh impossible for the Illuminati to communicate using electronic means.
Page also likes to groom his image in the public eye as a great philanthropist, donating millions of credits to the needy, while secretly plunging the world into chaos to create the conditions that will allow him to achieve world domination.

 Eidos Forums - Deus Ex 2 Speculation Thread (Part 1)
Deus Ex was designed from the start to combine elements of all of these genres.
Despite all the preproduction work, despite all the rules and manifestos, Deus Ex was, like all projects, going to be created by a group of people, each with his or her own agenda, many of whom hadn't been involved in the preproduction process.
Deus Ex suffered dramatically because for over a year, the artists "on the team" worked not for me or for the project, but for an art director in Ion Storm's Dallas office.

 Illuminati Designer Article
Soon, Illuminati fans will be able to add Texas, California, New York, the Orbital Mind Control Lasers, the Robot Sea Monsters, and a horde of other new groups - as well as a couple of new Illuminati groups - to their games.
Though Weishaupt's Illuminati claimed no connection with the earlier society, the coincidence of alleged motive (political power), means (recruitment or seduction of those in power), organization (eight ranks), and "secret knowledge" (improved powers of the mind and of understanding) are too great to dismiss entirely.
It is a commonly-held tenet of the conspiracy theorists that the Illuminati (specifically, Weishaupt's Bavarian Illuminati) exist today, and were, for their own reasons, responsible for the assassinations of the Kennedys, the oil shortage, the two World Wars, and probably the cancellation of Star Trek.

In 1782, at the Masonic Congress of Wilhelmsbad, Weishaupt's Illuminati solidified its position among Europe's secret societies as the undisputed leader of the occult one-world movement.
Although Weishaupt's Illuminati was exposed within ten years, he had accomplished more to further "the plan" during this time than all of Freemasonry's efforts of the previous fifty years combined.
Although the Illuminati's efforts officially ceased in the 1780s, unofficially its agenda continued to move forward through the network of Illuminized Masonic lodges that had already been set in place.

I was so involved and so emotionally invested in Deus Ex that the thought of diving back into another one was kind of scary.
We wanted a deep simulation of many small environments (on Deus Ex) and ended up with fairly large areas that were not very deeply simulated, and the designers as a result had to sort of make up three puzzles.
I mean, if you want to look at Deus Ex as a stealth puzzle, a combat puzzle, and a conversational or role-playing puzzle.
