Thinking about getting it, as someone told me it was a good stealth game, is this correct and is it any good?

Its good, its not great but its selling for less than a tennerso is worth it. I played it on the one higher difficulty than normal and thought it was pretty easy.
The sneaking is pretty good but sometimes you do just kind of think they should have seen you ... but those moments are few and far between but it's up to you how you want to play it .... you have the option of being a one man tank filled to the brim with enough destructive POWA to level a city or go for the shhhhh sneaky sneaky way of doing things and I like that idea.
There is also a great music score on the game ... something which people don't normally pick up on but for me there were some great pieces of music on there!
Its a pretty enjoyable as a stealth game. I played it through on the hardest setting going for no alarms and no kills and really enjoyed myself. The main problem with the game as a stealth experience is the boss fights, I arrives at the first boss fight totally unprepared for the fight and that really spoiled the game for awhile. I still wasnt fully prepared for the second boss either, but by the third boss I had upgraded weapons and spent skills to aids shooting and kill so it was a lot easier than.
But other than the boss fights spoiling the stealth action and forcing you to buy skills you dont need outside the boss fights its a good game well worth picking up at the price its currently going for.

I thought the recent current generation version. If the OP was referring to the original PC game than that's even better
...except Deus Ex 2, avoid that.
i absolutely loved it, the stealth is much more rewarding than doing a run/gun style of play(which makes it sooo easy)
If you're talking about the original Deus Ex, I'd say yay, yay and thrice yay, although if you're more of a modern gamer, I'd also look out for various mods to bring the graphics a little up to date. It is worth it, though, and - with or without mods - it upholds its reputation as one of the best games of all time.
If you're talking about Invisible War...don't bother.
Yay to Human Revolution! [Just be prepared for shitty boss battles]
Double-Yay for the original!
8/10
Too hard and out of place with a stealth character.
Too easy with a gun based killer character.
Basically just not suited to the game itself.
DE: Invisible War - Don't understand the hate for it. Yes, it's not as good as the original but still playable. Give it a whirl.
DE: Human Revolution - YES. Better than IW. Still not up to the original.
If you're not prepared/don't know what's coming with the bosses in HR you will get annoyed. It takes an upgraded weapon of some type to take them out. Even if you're playing a pure stealth game you'll need to keep an assault rifle in your inventory and upgrade it as often as possible.
Not true. Take typhoon early and use it only for bosses. Just run up to the buggers and trigger it. 2-4 times will kill them depending on skill level. Easy and they cant do a thing about it.
This:
As ToytownAssassin said, a good option for easy dispatch of the bosses is the Typhoon. Get that early, and upgrade it, and you won't have a problem with them.
And for the very last boss...
The second is a decent game, when you don't compare it to the first.
The third is a good game too, lots of potential should they decide to make a sequel (hopefully focusing more on the storyline and RPG elements).
For the price it is now, it is definitely worth a punt: the DLC (Missing Link) is a bit rubbish though.
All I can say about this game is that its fooking amazing, I'm hooked, this game has changed my life, I don't understand why I never bought it before, its worth £40 and then some!!
Anyway, how did you guys play it? I'm going stealthy for this my first play through, I'm loving how the game leaves everything upto the player, from missions to how you play it, what upgraded augs, even down to the route you take to complete the mission and the different outcomes as direct result of your actions.
F**king awesome, this game should be on every gamers shelf.
