95Intriguing, delightful, spooky and thoroughly enjoyable.
-
92Smashing sequel improves on the original. Utterly unique and addictive series.
-
Older graphics aside, Thief 2 is a great game. Though I'm sure some sociology professor might decry the glorification of breaking into people's houses and stealing their stuff, there's no denying that it's a lot of fun.
-
91The missions themselves are so incredibly enjoyable and entertaining to play through, and are what make Thief II such a fantastic title.
-
90But with more interesting and varied missions, bigger and more detailed levels, new enemies (and allies), a few new toys to play with, and some vital tinkering under the bonnet, Thief II stands on its own merit.
-
90For those of you looking for a complex, unique effort, Thief II continues to shine. The game puts in so much world detail that you can't help but get immersed in Garrett's plight and his adventures.
-
This truly is the sneakiest game available on the PC, and is also one of the best designed and most enjoyable releases of the year so far.
-
90The most impressive aspect of Thief 2 is its massive and varied levels. The levels are truly huge and require hours to fully explore.
-
All of the game's levels are very well crafted, and many of them are huge. Looking Glass has done an excellent job making each level feel like a "real" place.
-
89More focused and polished than the original, it's a game to get for any fan of the FPS genre looking for something a bit different.
-
86But the story is a bit disappointing compared with the complex plot of "Thief," and the game itself lacks the surprises of the original.
-
Like its predecessor, Thief II is subtle, deep and refined, words associated with the action game genre about as often as they are with fraternity hazing rituals.
-
Sure, it's essentially an add-on for the original Thief plus a few engine enhancements, but the result still works.
-
83The levels are even bigger and more interesting. The game will take a good while to finish - 50 hours isn't out of the question, so you'll definitely get a good bang for your buck.
-
83The pace is slow, but it's a lot of fun and very rewarding. However, the game suffers from unattractive graphics, bad sound in places, and a few bugs. If you can get past those points, however, you'll find a whole lot of deep gameplay.
-
It has provided me with in excess of 60 hours of pure addictive gameplay, and has earned a permanent spot on my shelf, sharing space with the likes of "Kings Quest 1" and "Doom."
-
80A very entertaining "thinking person's shooter" that provides more of the same to fans of the original release. It's tough to learn, but rewards you with an immersive, fun experience.
-
I like the larger scenarios and the attention to detail on all of the levels is amazing.
