Sneaking among grace and beauty
"Hatht thou tried to avoid copy protectthionth, Garrett? It ith motht fruthtrating thpectacle, rendering your pricelethh game unworking on netbookth. And nothing was ever built..." Thus lamented the gaming public, and GOG answered - a nice copy of Thief II that's quite easy to install and run on modern optical-media-less environments. =) Thief II is basically more of the same after Thief: The Dark Project / Thief Gold. The environment evolves, the City has become a little bit less dark place in style - but as should be easily apparent, even in the elegant luster of the Metal Age, the shadows are still dark and deep. Mechanists, led by Karras, put the same nastiness of the Hammerites in a shinier jar. And Garrett does the same thing he always does: skulks in the shadows, swipes everything of value into his pockets, and no one is none the wiser. Oh, and he incidentally saves the world. Again. And this time, it's personal. The missions are bigger and more varied this time, and it takes some good time before the plot even picks up at all. We get more steampunk stuff - steam robots that react badly to well-aimed water arrows and completely freak you out. We get bank robberies. Most importantly we get the most epic stealth mission in any game ever, past, present and future - rooftop infiltration mission into Karras's tower of mechanical luxury. Along with its previous part this is stealth gaming at its finest.
