I used to think DX:IW was streamlined for consoles, but after playing it several times and playing the original again, the changes just make sense. They've kept computer hacking as a biomod and got rid of the other skills, because most were pointless - unless you were Advanced with a pistol you could barely shoot it unless you were really near your target, and the assault rifle was rubbish without the Master level. Removing them just made the game more fun to play.
While IW's story wasn't as big as the original's (well, the game wasn't anywhere near as long), I think it's much better and the game offers far more 'freeform' gameplay than the original did.
