I cannot say if the new Deus Ex is as good as the original. Even though I am a hardcore PC gamer Deus Ex is something I never got to play back then. But I have played the new one and all I can say is that OMG! THIS GAME IS FRICKING AWESOME! Story is good even though ending leaves things open (instead of getting to know what happens to characters you get a little speech with a great message), gameplay is nothing short of fantastic (multiple different ways to do the mission, lots of room to exploration) and sidemissions are finally something worth doing. Usually in RPGs sidemissions are something along "fetch this and that" where in Deus Ex Human Revoltuion they actually are something meaningful, something relevant to the background story.
I thought Witcher 2 is a definite Game Of The Year material, but DEHR is a mighty contender. Upcoming Elderscrolls Skyrim has to do a lot of work to beat it if you ask me.
I have heard a lot of good things about the original but only now after DEHR I am inspired to play through it too.
