Each time I movve through the City I find new things. Also, you can move through the levels along different paths each time that you play the game. And, you can change the order in which you play.

Thief 3 has an amazing complexity.

Kind of boring game

I saw some good reviews on this game, so I thought I would check it out. I played it for several hours, but I never really got into it. It is a different type of game, but it wasn't all that interesting.

Loads of fun

Like every fan of the Thief series it seems I've been waiting forever for the third installment. Given the level of the graphics, lighting effects and gameplay compared to the first two, I'm glad the came was late becaues it allowed more advances in technology.
The game plays much like the first two, so anyone who was a fan will not feel out of place. Some people are complaining that some of the buttons for weapons have been changed. Who cares? How long can it possibly take to become accustomed to the new controls?
While I haven't completed the whole game yet, so far I have liked all of the improvements, especially the fact that you're a little more deadly now when you need to be. Visually the game is beautiful, a huge improvement over the previous games. If you have a strong system, get Thief 3 and you certainly won't regret it.

GREAT GAME!!!

This game is great!!!

I finished it once through already and never once was the story or action not gripping. There are times it is even really, really scary. Creepier than games that are meant to be scary.

I love the climbing gloves and being able to do break-ins and mug people.

The only wish item is that the areas were bigger with a lot more
places to break into. There really aren't that many, and when you get the climbing gloves, you already broke into most of them.

I love this game and beat it at normal difficulty. I plan on playing it again at the highest setting.

One great game

I don't know what game some of these reviewers are playing. This is a five star game if there ever was one. The graphics are terrific, there are no bugs in the software, and gameplay is as good, if not better, than the original two Thief games. The game is also very long. You get a lot of entertainment for your dollar. A true masterpiece of a game. I hope Eidos doesn't wait five years to release the next Thief game.

Great Game, Doesn't require a hard core system.

I was suprised to find that there was a thief 3. Although older, this game is absolutely a must buy. Doom3 and FEAR are great games, but the system requirements can be a bummer to those with less than top of the line systems. Thief 3 is not only fun, but it is beautifully made. The graphics are top notch and the missions are engaging.
If you have an older system, then this game is not only well worth the money, but I believe you will be thoroughly happy with your purchase.
If you are new to the thief series here's a run down:
You are a thief, originally part of an order of "monks" that observe the world, but don't actually interact with it. They are the "Wathers" You grew tired of their training and used the skills of staying "unobserved" to become the cities greatest thief. There are two other main groups in the city, "The Hammerites" and the "Pagans". Both are religeous orders that strive to convert the city inhabitants to their religion. These two orders HATE each other, but more importantly because of your vocation (and maybe a few items of theirs that you may have "aquired" ) they really hate you!
You go about the city "liberating" things of value, and occasionaly come across "legends" and "Mysteries" that might be profitable if you figure them out.
In this version of thief three there is a terrible calamity coming to the city. The Pagans, Hammerites, and Watchers all have their own beliefs of how the catastrophy can be avoided. Each group wants you to help them solve the problem "Their" way, which generally involves messing with the other groups.
Hide, sneak, and mug your way to the dramatic conclusion. This is one really great game. I say buy it!

another great thief game

deadly shadows continues in the steps laid down by its predecessors. with some big shoes to fill in terms of gameplay and enjoyability this game turns out to be nearly as good as the previous two thief games. if you're a fan of the thief series this is a good buy, you will have some problems with certain aspects that have been dumbed-down so that it could be ported to the xbox but overall it's a good title. first time thieves will most likely enjoy this title as well.

i've always wanted to buy this game ever since it was out, i finally bought it 3 yars later and i am well plased!
A grat improvement from the previous Thief games, you can wander through the streets, break into your neighbour's house, pickpocket pedestrians in the streets, overhear conversations and discover some loot's hiding place.
Great game.
Graphics are from 2004 but still very good.

Keeping In the Thief Tradition

The third game in the Thief series, "Deadly Shadows" has done a good job of keeping the traditions and gameplay style that made the earlier games so great. While there are some new features, much of the game has been kept the same as its predecessors.

The game once again follows Garret, the eponymous thief, as he goes about stealing from particularly rich and wealthy victims. The game takes place in a fantasy medieval world, so in addition to guards and thugs of a more mundane variety there are also zombies, ghosts, various types of golem, and magical items.

The game uses a first-person camera and focuses on stealth. The missions take place at night, so sticking to the shadows (hence the name of the game) and moving quietly are key. Guards will often stand near lanterns or hold torches, so approaching them from a spot where they can't see you is important. Garret has many tools that he can use on his mission, both magical and mundane. His melee weapons are the non-lethal blackjack and the dagger. His ranged weapons are much more diverse - apart from regular, deadly arrows, Garret can purchase water arrows (which extinguish lights), moss arrows (which can be used to soften otherwise loud surfaces), gas arrows (launches knockout gas), fire arrows (highly damaging, but also highly visible), and noisemaker arrows (make noise when they hit, and are used to distract guards). In addition to these, Garret also has many kinds of mines and grenades as well.

Like the other games, Garret has many missions with various objectives, usually involving sneaking somewhere and stealing something. However, the ability to move around the city itself - instead of going from mission to mission like in old games - has been added. It's also possible to earn favor with either the Hammerites (a technological-based religious order) or the Pagans (a nature-favoring group, representing chaos to the Hammerites' law).

The graphics are pretty good, especially in the field of lighting. With the brightness properly set (there is a test when you first play the game to ensure your lighting is right) the atmosphere is definitely set. Light flickers through bars and windows, and avoiding it is very important to the gameplay; thus, it is well rendered. The human forms are not quite as good, but to be fair it is dark most of the time. The sound is pretty good, but there isn't any music that I could notice (because, well, it's a stealth game).

As a whole, the game has done a good job of keeping the Thief franchise going. It's not particularly exceptional as its own game because it's continuing a tradition, but if you liked the other Thief games this one should not disappoint.

8/10.

Is ok but the story is kind of boring and I didn't like the ending. They should of kept it for the pc only like Thief 1&2.
