Once again Eidos has made us proud!
In thief there is loot scattered all over the area that you can steal. What you steal by the end of the level, you can sell for useful items such as broad arrows, noise maker arrows, water arrows, health potions and even climbing gloves for climbing up walls.
Garret the master thief will come upon many locked doors. Lock picking is a very simple problem and requires little thought, you usually just have to press up, right, down or left and then press a button to unlock from 3 to 6 tumblers.
A great feature of thief is that when a guard is nearing you, you can go up against a wall and hold your breath for about ten seconds.
A gem is located at the bottom of the screen to tell you how well you can be seen, this is a great feature and is useful in tough situations.
The graphics of thief deadly shadows are quire superb, the lighting of every room makes you feel like you are really sneaking around somewhere trying to steel something. The voice of master thief Garret is played brilliantly by Stephen Russel. Also other actors from previous thief’s have performed well for other characters in the game.
Thief is a great game and Eidos deserve a big thumbs up towards this masterpiece that they have created.
