Thief II: The Metal Age
Windows version
Thief 2: TMA
The Good
- Overall experience is more stealth-focused, no more sudden switches of genre.
- Story has been improved, lots of characters with different agendas.
- Some levels are very well-designed, also being real tough cookies.
- Loyal modding community with it's own share of masterpieces.
The Bad
- Lots of levels are just not finished. Some have recycled maps from previous missions. Some are just extraordinary empty.
- While it's more focused, it's also lost much of the Dark Project's charm. No more tomb raids or wacky environments, no horror or creature-slicing missions.
- The last level is a 2 hour long maze with lots of backtracking and crafting elements, which is a bit overwhelming.
The Bottom Line
The game is the weakest installment in series for me.
