This looks more like the Dark Age.

I tried playing this game, but right from the start, I knew I was in trouble. No matter what I changed in the video options or on my monitor, this game was just too dark. The first guy I talked to I couldn't even see and the item he left me I couldn't find because it was just too dark. This is the only game I have had this problem with. It could be an awesome game, but I will never know.
And the Oscar goes to....

If the PC game industry had the equivalent of the Oscar Awards, Thief 2 would sweep the entire show. Best Gameplay. Best Story. Most Intelligent level design. Best Sound. Best textures. Best cut scenes. On and on it would go. If you play just one game this year, play Thief 2: The Metal Age.
More goodness

This is the best game I've played since.....well, maybe it's the best game i've ever played. I was a little nervous that LG might have messed it up, cause the screenies looked kinda boring, but they pulled it off. Basically it's got everything that Thief had but w/ better graphics, missions, level design, cutscenes, etc,. If you don't got it yet, buy it NOW.

It's better than the origonal, its easier to learn though. The graphics are better, mission design is better, missions are longer everything has been improved! The storyline is more interesting and complex.

I managed to play the demo of Thief 2, and found it to be the best stealth game next to Splinter Cell. The only problem is it's rated M for Blood and Violence, and my parents don't like my playing M games. Just remember, the blood and violence is like tomb raider, except less fighting if you play it right. So, I recommend this game to those of you who really like Stealth games, and whose superiors allow it!
This game lacks....everything!

I purchased this games based upon Eidos' sight that listed, among other features, that this game was multiplayer, via various methods. I purchased the game, it arrived, and no multiplayer!!!! I am so angry...would have been much better had they really included that aspect of gameplay. As far as the game goes, the missions are just simply "weak." It is no wonder that Looking Glass went under, when one puts out a product as bad as Thief II, it is just no wonder.

Thief II The metal age by Looking glass studios is a first person sneaker,Here again you need to sneak arround undetected and solve the missions without killing,There are 15 very large story driven mission,The best thing about the thief games is that you could change difficulty,You can start the game in the easy difficulty and when you start the second mission it will ask you for the difficulty setting again.Thief had a great storyline but Thief2 has a very silly story and quite a dissapointing ending.Thief 2's graphics are better than the first game and so is the sound recording but the AI needs some tweaking.The villans in thief2 are not as scary as thief one,Some of them are very silly and noisy,What idiot would keep a giant robert which would shoot cannonballs at intruders inside their homes.The noise the robert makes expecially the small one's are very annoying,They keep on talking nonsence all the time,The female gaurds are very noisy and annoying too,And the main villan in the game Karras need a throat surgery.The 15 missions in thief2 are very large and very hard to complete but not impossible i have complteted the game in the expert (hardest) difficulty.Some of the mission objective's are very hard to solve,In one level you cant kill anyone,In another you can blackjack just 2 persons,In another you need to sneak in and out of the mansion without kills,blackjacks or even without the gaurds seeing you.The gameplay is very good but sometimes frustrating expecially the levels featuring the giant roberts like the "Bank" and "Sabotage",There are not many shadows and the floor is either marble or metal very hard to move with out making sound.Some missions are superb "Life of the party", "Trial of Blood", "Blackmail", "Ambush", "Shipping and Reciving", "Framed" ect can be replayed over and over again.Thief II is a good sequal to thief but not as good as TDP,Though it has some of the best thief missions like Life of the party.Thief: The Dark Project was like a medival horror game with ghosts and scary creatures,But thief 2 has went far away from that story to sci friction.Still it is worthy of your money and i would give it 4 stars, The thief games are one of the best out there.

it is indeed a really good game and a different playing experiance, but you need a lot of patience. the controls are slick and the AI is good. looking glass has made a great game. the graphics and sound are not very good.
Good Game, but What Happened to the hammers?

This Game was fantastic sometimes really hard. The Casing Mission was extremely hard until i finally got the idea. Anyway, i think that this movie was great but I did not care for the Mechanists that much. The Hammerites rocked so much in the last game. You could never tell what they would do and they seem to be more interesting to know about then the mechanists. I would want to see more of them in the next game. Another thing I wasn't sure about was the plot. i mean it was great but Thief 1 was had alot more plot twists. Anyway, it was hard which was the way I like it, but LETS SEE MORE HAMMERS AND PLOT TWISTS. And the graphics were very good compared to the last game.
