As you’ve no doubt guessed, Thief: Deadly Shadows is a stealth game that revolves around stealing various items and treasures located in increasingly difficult situations. For anyone who has played either of the Splinter Cell games, you’ll be right at home in TDS, because this game is in essence Splinter Cell: Medieval Yesterday. Just as Sam Fisher has done so expertly in his adventures, Garrett is a man who operates from the shadows and spends a great deal of time within shadowed nooks and crannies. What’s interesting about TDS’s gameplay is that the choice is entirely yours as to whether you play the game from a third-person or first-person perspective. Thief has always been a first person game, so I’m sure some of the “purists” might be a bit upset about this addition, but for those of us that get violently ill after playing first person games without the trusty Dramamine, allow us to rejoice.
