Disagree totally, the story is innovative and is executed originally and brilliantly, the only time it's been done before is in Max Payne 1 and in some films. The controls are intuitive, however this is very subjective, I for one dislike the GameCube controller but some swear by it.
Bullet-time is just one of the many reasons why this game is so incredibly excellent.
"DX:2", is that Deus Ex 2? That game hasn't even been released yet.
EDIT: but the demo has! Go here
HERE to get it! It clocks in at 233MB should be a doozy, lot of demo's hitting the net, so little bandwidth!
