One of the many reasons why 1998 was such a groundbreaking year for gaming is Thief: The Dark
Project, a game that helped invent what's now commonly referred to as the stealth action genre.
Thief 3: Deadly Shadows
Release Year: 2004
Platform: PC
Language: ENG
Size: 2.33 GB
Genre: Stealth
Though two other noteworthy stealth action games were released that same year--Metal Gear Solid and Tenchu: Stealth Assassins--Thief's brand of stealth
was the most convincing, and it went on to become the most influential.
The original developer of Thief and its similar sequel is unfortunately
no longer in business, but Eidos
and Ion Storm thankfully snatched up the rights and have finally
delivered a new chapter in the series that's suitable for longtime Thief
fans and newcomers alike. Like its predecessors, the new Thief: Deadly
Shadows features a memorable protagonist, a great setting, and some very
interesting missions. It also happens to suffer from a variety of
miscellaneous, minor flaws. These are unfortunate, since Thief: Deadly
Shadows is great game, for the most part.
At its core, Deadly
Shadows sticks very closely to the formula of the older Thief games,
which are first-person perspective action adventures in which you must
carry out a series of high-risk, high-reward missions as Garrett, a
self-serving master thief living in a cold, surreal, medieval world. As
in previous Thief games, the gameplay in Deadly Shadows primarily
revolves around having to retrieve a bunch of special trinkets (and
other riches) from assorted heavily guarded establishments--and doing so
by hiding in shadows, waiting for unsuspecting guards to turn their
backs, and then blackjacking them so that they remain unconscious for
the remainder of the mission. You'll have a wide variety of other
gadgets to help you, including lock picks, water arrows for dousing
torches and other firelight, flashbombs for temporarily blinding
opponents, and more. There's always a compass onscreen to help you
navigate the sometimes mazelike environments, and you'll also be paying
close attention to the onscreen "light gem," which changes color
depending on how well-concealed you are. This interface feature has
always worked great in the Thief series.
