  1. Gamers Wanted

    8.3/10
    19 April 2000

    While I never played very far into the original Thief: The Dark Project, (so many games, so little time...plus, I only had a P166/Voodoo 1 at the time) I was nonetheless impressed by what I had seen. Read more

    • Excellent level design, Varying difficulty levels that have all players solving most of the puzzles, adding more restrictions as you go higher up, Fairly unique approach to gameplay, Great use of sound, Not much improvemen...

    Still very good, but fast in danger of becoming tired Read more

    • Still very atmospheric, Huge levels, Good storyline, No zombies
    • The Dark Engine is showing its age, Not much 'true' gameplay innovation

    14 November 2000

    Continuing along the same lines of the first game in which players took control of a thief names Garrett, Metal Age has a deep and rich storyline that will have gamers intrigued for many hours. Read more

    The original Thief: The Dark Project by now-defunct Looking Glass Studios pretty much invented the sub-genre of the first-person sneaker – the kind of game where success hinges on slinking around and avoiding confrontation, Read more

    29 January 2001

    When it was released in December '98, Thief: The Dark Project came as a welcome relief from the seemingly endless succession of first-person shooters flooding the market. Read more

  1. Under Appreciated Game

    If you are a fan of first person stealth games then you cannot do any better than the Thief series. No other games provide you with the same sense of feedback of hiding in the shadows, picking locks as these games do. Read more

  2. A new kind of game

    Thief 2 follows its predecessor in making a game that's different from anything that's ever been don Read more

    • Graphics, Much more interesting premise than most FPSs, great weapons selection
    • can be extremely irritating at times, often able to just go on a rampage.

  • Manufacturer's Description

On the streets and rooftops of a darkened city, where the forces of a corrupt sheriff loom, it takes someone with a soft touch and even softer step to stay ahead of the law. For a master thief like Garrett, the choices are clear: profit or perish. Thief II: The Metal Age expands on the smash-hit "first-person sneaker", Thief: The Dark Project, demanding a whole new level of stealth, strategy, and skill to survive.
