The Armchair Empire has tossed up a review of the XBox version of Ion Storm's third 'Thief' game. Rating: 8.3/10.One glance at Thief: Deadly Shadows, and you might possibly mistake it for a medieval Splinter Cell. That description might not be too inaccurate – instead of shooting out light bulbs, you extinguish torches with water arrows. Instead of a visibility bar, you have a "light gem". Outside of an optional first person mode, even the controls are the same. But beyond the surface, there's a lot more to Thief: Deadly Shadows. This makes sense, as the series has been around for a little while. Although previously confined to the PC, master thief Garrett has been pulling his sneaky tricks back when Ubisoft was still making nothing but Rayman games. |
