Praise for Deus Ex and a question...

Yep, the speed demos are done in segments, but a higher number of is not necessarily better.

I like the Half-life run through, but somehow I feel that Deus Ex is not really a game you should run through as fast as you can. (Currently, Im in Hong Kong, dancing and chatting at some club...)

Definitely not. That's for racing games and the like. A game like Deus Ex that actually has atmosphere should not be rushed.

That said, I think I can grok doing a speed run. It is one way to get fresh play out of the game once you've gone through it too many times already.

No game is really one you should rush through, even Doom, which started the craze. Still, it is pretty impressive when people do it, and there is a lot of skill involved.

It is an impressive feat and is a valid way to play games. It isn't something I would enjoy doing though.
