Is Deus Ex any good?

[Ondine]

I just saw the TGS trailer and thought it looked pretty awesome, but I haven't been able to find any quality gameplay videos. Maybe someone here that has played it can give me a little review? Here's some things I'm specifically curious about:

-How are the in-game graphics? Anything particularly good or bad visually? (Comparisons to other games would help.)
-What's the art direction like? All I've seen is a lot of orange tint and modern office type locations...
-To what extent does it attempt to portray a believable future? Does it follow futurists' calculated predictions or merely create a fantasy world and tack on the future premise?
-I understand you're given a good amount of freedom to play how you want, but what's the primary genre? I believe there are prevalent RPG elements, but are they overbearing?

Thanks in advance!

In order: 1. visually its pretty, if you consider a gritty dirty futuristic city pretty. The graphics are pretty amazing however. 2. Blade runner meets orange tint. 3. Pure fantasy. This does not detract from it in anyway however and I found the environment to be quite immersive. 4. It's primarily a FPS with RPG elements. At first you will think it is important to pick a skill set and run with it but about a third of the way though you will start to realise that it doesnt matter as you will pretty much unlock all skills sets tossing any pretence of being a serious RPG out the window. It's no skyrim or fallout in regards to depth of customisation but it is cool how you can approach issues in different ways if you wish. It pales in comparison to the original Deus Ex but it's pretty, fun and a great setting and story.

Syntax has pretty much covered it, and we also have a thread here
