The best yet. It's still "Thief" though, so if you're not a fan, stay well away. Shazbut (129) unrated

Trivia

If you're using an ATI Radeon card, you'll need at least Catalyst 4.8 drivers to play this game properly. Otherwise, textures will pop in and out, causing walls and floors to turn black and making it appear like there are shadows where there aren't supposed to be any shadows.
