The original had a better story I thought. But they did improve the gameplay, graphics, sound and they made the bad guys a little smarter. Listening to the ai conversate and talk to themselves is hilarious the script can be very funny! A great little world to escape into, its the type of game you play with some nice headphones in the dark, and stay up all night with. The affect of sound is what sets this game apart I think from most. You realy get the feeling someone is coming closer, and it can be nerve racking hearing a guard on patrol mumbling to him self louder and louder, when your trying to hide in the shadows unnoticed. But that what makes it so fun. Personaly I didn't care for all the robots and ghosts, I like the levels with just regular people better. But thats just me. If you havent played, and you enjoy games like Splinter Cell you will enjoy this and the first in the series. It is fairly flexable with allowing you to decide how to finish a mission, but not as flexable as GTA, you still are forced to play out each mission one at a time. Also like the GTA series you play the bad guy wich is sooo fun, but it isn't nearly as graphic, vulgar as GTA. Just good clean thieving fun.Read full review
Recently I purchased Thief 2: The Metal Age...NOT because this was delving into uncharted territory. I have been a fan of the Thief series since the first one hit the shelves but Thief 2 is my favorite. You may ask "Why?" Because like me, there are multitudes of Thief fans who keep the game going long after you've played the purchased game and the final credits roll. They develop fan missions and provide free downloads. Some are amateurish, but the majority are even better than the actual game and I'm not taffing with you! If you think you would enjoy taffing, then grab the game and give it a try. Be prepared to watch out for guards, ghosts, ghouls, zombies, spiders, and traps. Try to find the hidden objects and get all the loot. Play on Basic Taffer, Medium, So You Think, or REAL THIEF. When you've mastered the original game, go to Thief-The Circle.com and download fan missions. If you'd like to join the forum where you can ask for help (read that cheats and hints), that is free too. Simply go to ttlg.com and select your name for enrollment. TTLG stands for Through The Looking Glass. You might even decide to make a fan mission and enter it into one of the many contests sponsored by these free sites. I have been an avid gamer since 1987 when I started with DOS games. Out of all the hundreds of games I have played, Thief 2 is by far the best. It won't cost you much money but it will give you hundreds of hours of regular game play and extended play. So, grab your Sword and Blackjack. Get out your Water and Moss arrows. Practice your aim and...WHACK! You're in. Don't forget your Lockpicks, you'll be needing those. See if you can find or buy a Rope arrow or two for the second and third story windows...maybe a Gas Mine or Arrow, or an Invisibility Potion. There's loot to be found Taffer! Join Garrett and me (Stallowen) on adventure after adventure. We'll be waiting and watching for you, YOU TAFFER!!!Read full review
Some games just go down in history as "One of the Great Ones", Thief 2- The Metal Age is one of these games. This game is a mix of art and game-play in a way that very few games have ever been able to pull off. This game is a bit trick to get playing, it won't work on your new PC if you have up to date graphics drivers on a newer card. It's just not going to happen. However, if you do have a PC that can play this game then you are almost OBLIGATED to play this game. SOME of the solid points of this game are; the Story is very compelling, the atmosphere of the game universe is DEEP and AMAZING, the game-play is very fun and comfortable, the levels are huge and imaginative, and even the AI is very good for it's time. If you've played Thief: Deadly Shadows and were left with the feeling that something was missing, then this game may fill that void. I personally think that it is twice the game that Deadly Shadows is.Read full review
This game is excellent. If you have played the first Thief game you will not be disappointed. The great thing about this game is that it is not just a normal first person shooter game where you basically run through and kill all the bad guys. Instead, this game forces you to think and not just run through the bad guys. I also like this game because it doesn't really have any cheat codes so you have to work through each level on your own. I play a lot of first person shooters such as Wolfenstein, Doom, and Half-Life but to be honest I think I really like this game better than the others. This game is a great challenge and worth buying. Trust me as soon as I get my money gathered up I am going to buy Thief III the last in the series.
Few games set the standards for other games let alone a genre. The thief series is the first and still the best dark engine stealth game to date. Unlike splinter cell with its rigid level design there are almost always very open end levels with different means on entry and objectives to success. Besides who dosent want to have the thrill of nabbing every bit of gold not seen laying around. Though the graphics and the AI might be a little out of date the game makes up for it in gameplay and story. A must have.
