Legendary

Thief 1 and 2 are legendary games and (along with Metal Gear Solid) gave birth to the stealth genre of games. Thief 1 and 2 though are far superior with some of the most incredible technology developed in its time (and even still today) to provide the greatest stealth game experience. Still today, these games are essentially unmatched in the simulation capabilities, atmosphere, intricacy and gameplay uniqueness. Just legendary games through and through.

Definitive stealth game

Like Freespace2 Thief2 perfected a genre. Unlike Freespace2 there were MANY games that followed (Splinter Cell being the most dominant) but never caught up. I can't add anything that other reviewers have already said, except reinforce that this is the definitive stealth game gameplay wise, combined with a good story, a detailed world and stellar voice acting. Garrett is the man.

Easily my favorite game of all time

The first time I played Thief: the Dark Project, I was giddy at the AI - just running around and doing as I pleased made me die again and again, until I tried playing "as a human." The glory of Thief revealed itself then, although it was a tiptoe into a new genre. Thief II went all in, and became the most immersive game I've ever played. I can still recall moments of tenseness as I accidentally walk from soft grass to pavement, the jolts at hearing a guard yell "HEY!", the satisfaction at clearing a level without being seen or knocking anyone out...just perfection, in my eyes. Ugly, ugly perfection.

Stealth gameplay at its finest

I remember getting the demo for Thief 2 and spending hours playing it. Naturally the next logical step was to get the actual game and when I got it for Christmas that same year, I must have sat in front of my computer for ten hours straight. Thief 2 is one of those rare gems that remains good no matter how old it gets. The graphics may be a bit dated but the tense and thrilling gameplay, superb level designs, and engaging story make this game a must-play for any and all PC gamers. Also fans of Thief 2 should check out the free fan-made expansion that builds upon the same lore as the base game while also starring a new protagonist and featuring several entirely new levels and missions as well as a couple new items and tools.

Probably the best game of all time!

I've played through this game several times. I've purchased it three times. There are missions that have such amazing atmosphere to them that I can remember the smells in the air from the first time I played them(seriously). The game gives you legit chills at times and constantly has you on the edge of your seat. If you're on the fence, just buy it already! You WONT be disappointed!
