Thief: Deadly Shadows Reviews
~Dlwynndnn (Del-win-dune) This is a very nice game.I never did play the others parts in this series,however it has great char. animation,graphics,level disign,theme,story plot(Good writer(s))and great entertaining voice acting.Thief:Deadly shadows is one of those rare gems of a game,even with a nice lil' tit(titorial) of it's own,easy controls,camera angle leaves something to be desired.I played this 2 or 3 times thru back in 2004.No not because of actual replay value(which is something that is left to be desired),though the game was enjoyable enough to play thru a time or two.All that said,Thief:Deadly Shadows is deffinatly VERY memorable.Sad thing tho for a desire for more replay value in some way other then being a good solid game.Maybe in the next one they should put unlockable items to be had,and purchase with all the coin you obtain.Over all I give this game a 4 1/2 star rating,cause nothings perfect and this site allows only 4 or 5 star,no 1/2 stars.See you next review.
The graphics and game atmosphere are outstanding. I don't know, it's just hard for me to think of any bad things to say about this game, it's simply ONE OF THE BEST STEALTH GAMES EVER MADE - period. Can't wait for Thief IV. Although I was familiar with Eidos' Deus Ex series I had never heard of their "Thief" franchise until I had come across a used $12 copy (what a bargain) of "Thief: Deadly Shadows" at my local game store, and boy am I glad I shelled-out the bucks. The play control is good (although it can get a little buggy at times).
The story is excellent. Why I love this game so much is kind of hard to pinpoint. It's a little more linear than I prefer (I'm a big Oblivion fan), but somehow this does not affect my love for the game. Thief: Deadly Shadows is easily one of my ALL-TIME-FAVORITE video games, and I've been playing video games for nearly 30 years. The AI is hilarious and is one of my favorite things about this game.
Bravo to the writers. My point: the best of the three. To all those old fans like myself; Wow, wow, wow.
The first two plots were addictive and exciting, nevermind the patience and the stealth you were required to have as this game is mentally active more so than physical action. To all the newcomers; I encourage you to go out and find copies of the first two as your opinion of this one will indeed increase, no matter the old graphics, they are still enjoyable. The plots the first two carried were amazing and imaginative so you can understand my expectations going into the third one. But I assure you, not boring in the slightest. Was it not perfect.
An empty game is just that to me.
And probably because I have played them all and know all the background of our friend Garrett.
So as an ademate fan, you can imagine my joy to finding that they had finally made a third and, better, made it for Xbox (I like a remote much better than a keyboard).
And how about the ending.
Now, I have come to realize the difference of graphics in games and all that technical stuff, but, first and foremost, for me to enjoy a game, it must be a good concept and a good story line.
I was not disappointed in the least.
I started playing this series way back when it first came out for windows 95 (I believe it was 1997).
The plot of this game is rich and full and not to mention, down right a shocker at times.
I got completely sucked into it and quickly went out to buy it's sequel, the metal age, when it was released.
It is the best i have ever seen in a game. I put out the light to knock out the guard, and the said ''The light went out. The only real problem I encountered was that the game wouldn't let me save. Thier are unique weapons i have never seen, or will, see in other games. One such weapon, is the Water arrow used to put out torches and the moss arrow is used to make metal quieter to walk on, or just to bug guards with. It is less violent than splinter cell and much funner ( I know its not a word). This game uses plain old sneaking tactics and pure luck. It may have been because I got the game used, but i may never know.
I was playing and overheard two people talking, having an intelligent conversation. As i said before, this game should not be rated M, It, in my opinion, is perfect for people 13+. This game in a nutshell is plain old sneaky fun. So if you buy this game,which I don't see why you wouldn't, try to get it new so you can save your game.
First off, this game should not be rated Mature. The game is easy to learn and even more fun to master. I bought this game after my parents said I couldn't get Splinter cell. It is amazing.
The last thing I have to say is about the AI. How strange''. So with that done, i'll get to the actual review. The blood in it is a quick splatter here and there, so quick, I doubt many people would know it was there.
The sound bug in this game can be solved quickly by loading something, and another good tip is to save alot, save after every mission. It isnt so bad because i save quiet often anyways, since you dont know what could happen next. In Thief, if u stole some loot, moved a chair, put out a light, ect. The cutscenes that this game has are cool and they really let you know what is going on.
Another bug ive heard about is when the game stops altogether and all u can do is shut down your xbox. I think the best missions in this game are near the end, but believe me, it is well worth getting there. I think i completed the demo about 10 times before i decided to buy the game. If you scare or attack a citizen around town, they run to get some gaurds to finish you off. I admit that the sound does sometimes get cut off and then all u hear is this wierd scratching sound when people are trying to talk, but this problem can be solved easily; either enter the next area and load it, or u can save and load your game right there and when u finish loading it, the problem will be gone. the enemy would wonder what happened. Wow, when i first played the demo for Thief: Deadly Shadows on xbox, i couldnt put it down. The only reason i wasnt sure i wanted to buy the game was because i thought it was going to be a game like Fable, short but sweet.
In lots of games, u could move somethings around in a room, and when they returned they wouldnt notice. The storyline kept me guessing what was going to happen next and i couldnt wait to find out. I think there are really only a few cons in this game. OMG GREAT GAME. DO IT NOW. So all in all, i say this game rocks.
I kept playing the demo over n over. Well, a tip i can give u is, use your goals tab to look for ne notes or clues to help you and use the compass and map to help you find your way. This mideval setting really makes it great. Sure, you dont get to run around with your guns blazing in this game, but if you love being creative in your opponents deaths, you'll enjoy this one. The NPC's in Thief really blew me away.
Also, remember to try to use everything. Besides, most games will crash once in a while. Thief: Deadly Shadows was very sweet indeed. For Thief, it took me about 2 weeks totally over 40 hrs of extreme fun. I am sooo glad i did.
Oh yeah, and sometimes you'll get lost doing some missions, like having to find secret rooms n such. GET THIS GAME. but it wasnt short, its a great game that has a shocking storyline and has kept me coming back for more. You can see in the other reviews that people write about some of the glitches this game has. well they could be a little smarter but its still good. Some people dont like this game because they have to be patient and wait for the correct time to attack thier opponents, but this game also requires you to think about whats going to happen instead of just running out there and shooting everything that moves. The NPC's react like real people. On Fable, i spent 2 days to beat it, playing a total of about 11 hours.
I have experienced this ONE time. just once. I couldnt find a secret room while the button to open it was infront of me and i just didnt think much of it at the time. This bug has happened to me about 5 or 6 times in the whole game.
Wow, im so glag i bought this game. even if the opject looks like junk, pick it up and see what happens, because u can always drop it if it turns out it is useless. In Thief, the shadows are your best weapon. Straight up one on one combat usually leads to your victory if your prepared and your health is full, but it will leave your health shattered.
I WANNA WRITE THIS REVIEW SO YOU CAN BUY IT.
