Follow an involving storyline, complete with intriguing subplots while evading and engaging with the most sophisticated enemy. Amazon.com Review: Eidos and Looking Glass Technologies advance the shifty gaming style they introduced in Thief: The Dark Project as they continue the adventures of Garrett the master thief. In Thief II, Garrett faces tough times. Machines and their Mechanist creators have emerged as the new sinister force in the city, replacing the Hammerites of the original game. Initially unconcerned with these mechanical abominations, Garrett sets out to pilfer enough to make his next rent payment when he makes a startling discovery: someone is trying to kill him. With thoughts of financial troubles set aside, Garrett must find out who is trying to eliminate him--and why. Through 15 grueling missions, you lead Garrett through the shadows as you attempt to accomplish a variety of intriguing objectives. In one scenario, you'll be trying to frame an innocent man by planting evidence, while in another you'll have to break into a heavily guarded bank. All the while, you will rely on moss arrows, water arrows, flash bombs, and invisibility potions to get you past the city watch as well as the Mechanists and their walking iron beasts. The gameplay in Thief II is very much like that of its predecessor: Garrett is forced to rely on stealth and cunning rather than brute force. Each successive mission will put those stealth skills to an even tougher test than the last, as you try to slip past a seemingly endless array of guards, traps, robotic sentries, and innocent bystanders. You'll certainly get your money's worth, as each mission can easily take an hour or two to complete. Essentially, Thief II is everything the original Thief was and more. Better graphics, superb mission design, and even better virtual thievery make Thief II a must-have for fans of the original and for any action enthusiast who is tired of the same old shoot-'em-up theme. --Michael E. Ryan Pros:
Amazon.com Product Description: Welcome to Thief 2: The Metal Age, Looking Glass Studio's highly anticipated sequel to the hit "first-person sneaker" Thief: The Dark Project. Players once again occupy the weathered boots of Garrett--master thief, expert in stealth, and unlikely victor over the mad nature god, the Trickster. It's been over a year since the events portrayed in Thief: The Dark Project, and Garrett's life has returned to a kind of chaotic normalcy marked by daring independent thieving runs and lucrative "jobs." But the cost of business has just gone up, and Garrett may end up paying with his life. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Love the Thief seriesThe Thief series is one of my all time favorites and the second installment does not disappoint. If you were a fan of the first one you will enjoy this game and even if you weren't, it's still a very entertaining play. Rating:  - Just buy itSorry, but this one will be short. I see other people have gone in depth about this game. here are the facts: It is fun. it is a bitch sometimes, and it is NOT a shooter. It plays like any first person adventure, but you have to sneak around a lot (like Planet of the Apes) and learn to fire a bow over long distances - which they did excellently on graphics-wise. If you are reading this you probably are wondering "if" you should buy it. Yes. Trust me. Rating: - Another (unfortunately final) Masterpiece From Looking Glass!Alas poor Looking Glass, I knew ye games well... Not only were Looking Glass Studios just terrific programmers and designers, but they were one of the few companies (very few) that created sequels that OUT-DID the originals! Therefore, Thief 2 TMA, is a near flawless game in almost every aspect. Good ol' Garrett is back and stealthier than ever! The best qualities that made the original so- well- original were the concepts. Sneaking, stealing, pick-pocketing, ...

The story, the characters, game play, everything is increadible. A game like this is a rare treasure. Rating: - Sequel to Thief: The Better HalfI absolutely fell in love with this game even before I had played Thief: The Dark Project. I'm so glad I started out with the "better" part of this game with Garrett's mechanical eye, vine arrows and probably a lot more. These help big time in getting past the levels. I experienced its absence when I played Thief: The Dark Project which was pretty tedious, but it wasn't bad. Thief 2: The Metal Age has got quite a story. You'll be amazed to find out (which I did after analyzing the game during ... Read More |
