The best yet. It's still "Thief" though, so if you're not a fan, stay well away. Shazbut (155) unrated

Trivia

This game is commonly referred as Thief III because its the 3rd in the series that Warren Spector had produced whilst working at Looking Glass Studios. Eidos essentially closed Looking Glass while Thief II was a new release. As fate and John Romero would have it, Spector and crew were brought on board to IonStorm. (Note: IonStorm is also Eidos funded studio.)
