1Up gets back to post-E3 business with a review of Ion Storm's 'Thief: Deadly Shadows'. As with most of the early reviews, the verdict seems to be the game stays true to the series despite some faults. The score is 8.5/10 and here's the intro:It's hard to fault Warren Spector for wanting his games to be more popular. After all, he's the game designer behind Deus Ex, System Shock, Ultima Underworld, and other lovely RPGs. It's been bothering him, and he confessed as much when he showed Thief: Deadly Shadows to the press earlier this year -- he wants his games to be sales successes, not just critical ones. |
