Why all the flak for Deus Ex 2?

[War-hamster]

The question's in the title: Why all the flak for Deus Ex 2? It was a great game in my opinion, just because the predecessor was a lot better (dare I say one of the best ever) doesn't mean this great game is a blight..

It's definitely better than average games, yet it gets comments as if it's beaten only by Big Rigs in the contest for worst game ever...

Please enlighten me

I've been stating your opinion for years now.
I think everyone, including people who've never played the game just jumped on the bandwagon and decided to hate it for no apparent reason.

Yeah, the developers of the game just jumped on the bandwagon and decided to hate it for no apparent reason http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGIdYl2oN74&feature=related

I actually liked what I played of it - unfortunately both Deus-Ex games didn't age well, so I found myself unable to deal with the poorly streamlined mechanics. I did give them about three hours each though, so I gave it a fair shot.
