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.
