| Thief: Deadly Shadows - Review @ Armchair Empire |
|
The grannies from The Armchair Empire have knit together a nice little 'Thief: Deadly Shadows' <a href="http://www.armchairempire.com/Reviews/PC%20Games/thief-deadly-shadows.htm" target="_blank">review</a>. Score: 8/10.<blockquote><em>Back when stealth games were new, Thief took a back seat to more high-profile titles but managed to build up a cult following that made its first sequel a major hit. Deadly Shadows, therefore, comes to us with a bit more hype than earlier Thief titles — something accentuated by the fact that it shares an engine with the recent hit-of-sorts Deus Ex: Invisible War.
<br>
<br>That engine is the most troublesome aspect of Thief: Deadly Shadows as it shares some of the bugs and onerousness of Invisible War. Despite having a system a good 50% above the recommended system across the board, Thief: Deadly Shadows featured a good deal of mouse lag and frame drops along with some odd collision detection and some truly weird A.I. behavior. Despite the technical issues, the game is enjoyable for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the polished to perfection stealth aspect.</em></blockquote> |

Oh? What titles? Thief's sequel was a hit? Um..Thief "Is" the stealth game by which all others follwed and the first Thief was a hit and so, in turn, was it's sequel. These people get paid to write this dribble? |

Hmm, that's really bad. The flaw really is painfully obvious. |
