Human Revolution is a prequel. Part of the fun in it, for me, was finding the little parallels and call-forwards to DX1. Storywise, DX1 is very focused on being a conspiracy kitchen sink super-imposed on a run-down cyberpunk setting. DXHR strips out a lot of the conspiracy stuff, keeping it largely in the background in favor of a story of maintaining humanity in the face of mechanical augmentation.
That being said...
DX1 is an old game. Getting it going on modern systems can be a little tricky, though there is help (http://kentie.net/article/dxguide/index.htm). More than that, it's got certain gameplay elements that kind of stick out like a sore thumb now, such as difficulty, but also the level design can be kind of bad (it gets better the further into the game you go, though) and combat is basically as stupid and frustrating as any Unreal Engine 1 game. You have to choose your skills and augmentations wisely, because some are quite worthless (free hint- nobody ever picks the swimming skill.)
But if you manage to shift the necessary rust of old-school gaming, you'll find yourself with an intensely rewarding game with a great plot- silly as it may seem now, it was asking stuff nobody else in the industry was even thinking about in 2000, except maybe Hideo Kojima- and a fantastic soundtrack to boot.
