"Deus Ex was followed by a sequel in 2003, but that met with some pretty bad reception. Much like Thief: Deadly Shadows it was again a partnership between Ion Storm and Eidos, trying to release a blockbuster title for the XBox more than the PC. DX2 suffered from very similar problems to TF, as well - poor interface design, long loads that were unnecessary for a PC, and vastly underpowered graphics. The community tried to save the game with its own updated texture packs, but there was little to fix such a weak game. Ion Storm even added insult to injury by officially denouncing the packs, in effort to stand behind what it hoped would be an XBox fan base that never materialized. "
