Ooo. Put that in your multiplayer/replayability pipe and smoke it. We're holding you responsible for all your hype, Matt. :)

But some serious commentary... While I enjoyed Deus Ex, it's feature of multiple paths to the same goal was sort of artificial. You could either shoot the guard, or you could take a locked grate that convieniently circumvented it. It all seemed very pre-planned. But a free-form game that lets to choose from a spectrum of styles and paths? Now that would be quite a thing.

With all the architectural design, this might be the first game where "Frog blast the vent core" could make some kind of sense.
