Thief II: The Metal Age

like stealth? love the darkness? then get thief and thief 2!! no other games have ever kept me in such suspense, action, and excitement as these two have! the gameplay rules, the story rules, the graphics are outstanding, the sound rules, and Garrett is one of my favorite video game characters!! this is short, but the bottom line is, get these games!!!!!

Thief II is what I believe to be one of the greatest games ever made (and I've played a lot...). However, it is not your usual experience. In this game they have taken everything from the prequel and improved it. They have removed such annoying elements such as undead (with a really scary exception), and instead focused on more variation in missions.

And since finding all the money on the same level is almost impossible and given three rather different difficulties, Thief II has a great replay value. At least three times, which is more than most games today.

While graphics may not be top-notch anymore (and they weren't when it came, either), it does not negatively effect the game-play. Sounds are wonderful, especially the dialouges and small-talk between the NPCs and the whistling guards. Music is unfortunately very background, and is very seldom special. This does not matter that much, though, since the player will be so into the game that he/she will have a hard time quitting (at least I had...).

All in all, buy it if you can and like sneaking games. It's not very hard to find cheap, at least not where I live, but even for a higher price it is definitely worth it. I payed full price when I got it, since it was new by the time, and that is not something I regret. One of the top-five PC games of all time!

This is the follow up to the original Looking Glass Studios video game: Thief The Dark Project. If the first Thief was set in the hood it woulda been called Thief The Dark Projects. But anyways, this game is a coo-coo-cool mixture of sword and sorcery fantasy gaming combined with Doom like first person game play features and a healthy dose of 19th century type technology. If you like movies or games or books that combine different types of genres like the old Wild Wild West TV show mixed the old west and sci fi, you'll dig the game Thief II.

This version has the typical video game plot of a power hungry madman wanting to take over the world. The new Thief II additions of talking robots are a very nice touch. I miss the Hammerite bad guys from the first Thief though. The new Mechanists just aren't as much fun. All in all a very good game though.

Thief is a totally unique playing experience and the only game to keep me captivated, not just for months, but for years! I have tried newer games, enjoyed them to a certain extent, but always find them lacking in the end. None of them can match the immersiveness of Thief II:TMA or Thief TDP (Thief 1).

Even though both Thief games have been out for a number of years, there is a huge fanbase still playing the original games as well as the hundreds of Fan Missions that are available, with new ones being produced each week. Many of them have surpassed the original game missions in both quality and game play.

If you haven't tried it, then what are you waiting for!

This is my favorite game ever. In this game Garrett has a mechanical eye. This is the best stealth game ever. It is also the best game in the series. This is also very dark. The game has huge levels. The best level is Life of the Party. It is the biggest level. This game has less zombie but they are in some levels. This time the mechanists are the main enemies. The lead is Karras. The game has some big plot twists and are shocking when they happen. This also scary. The mechanists have these machines that walk around and guard. The faces on them are very unsettling. This game has a very interesting story and is very deep. It also has some great subplots. This is my favorite game ever.
