Almost, but not quite..

User Rating: 8.5 | Thief: Deadly Shadows PC
First of all, i recommend playing Thief: The Dark Project and Thief II: The Metal Age before grabbing Deadly Shadows, so you'd know what's with the Hammers and the Pagans, the green eye, the Keepers, etc. As the Title says, it's all about stealth. Theft, sneaking, playing from the shadows. Or at least that's the way it should be. You'll find that killing the enemy is quite easy, sometimes almost boring. If you leave a corpse / unconscious body in plain site and somebody notices it, no big thing is gonna happen, but stai alert for 15-30 seconds. What i'm trying to say is that the AI should be a bit more ..keen (see "Desperado: wanted dead or alive") As long as you don't hold on to your gold, and buy max arrows, health potions etc. you don't have any problem playing the game as if it was an ancient shooter or smth like that. Another shortcoming is the map.. sometimes you tend to get lost if you don't plan your every step ( consulting map and compass ). It's best if you killed / knocked out every enemy you encountered so that you can roam freely, in case you need to go back for something you forgot. Although all the shortcomings, the storyline worths all the effort, as i find myself going through the missions just to get to the next cut-scene or to find out why i hat to do it (the misson). But taking the game for what it is, not what it should have been, you've got yourself a good game that will keep you seated in front of your PC for about 20 to 40 hrs and you won't even notice. Game ranking: Enjoyable !
