I picked it up a few months ago for $2, but never got around to playing it until yesterday. If you believe what "The Internet" says, it's a train-wreck and a travesty of a sequel to the most perfect game ever made. So, imagine my surprise when I find out that Invisible War is actually really good and a lot closer to what I want out of my cyberpunk RPG than even the original.
Some of the RPG elements get toned down, but that aside it still present a great RPG experience with a more open world and plenty of choices about how to proceed through missions, and even from one mission to the next. That's probably my favorite thing about this game is how it doesn't just take you from one mission to the next, it lets you stop and fool around and explore the world.
Also, thanks to the high-resolution texture patch, it holds up fairly well in the graphics department.
