Thief Gold

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Ha, so I'm not the only one who never finished Hitman! ^^ Seriously, when I got to the level with the Cocaine dude, I just gave up. It took me about half an hour to even get near him and every time I screwed up just a little bit I got killed and had to start the whole level from the beginning. I like a challenge, but it felt as if the game was just wasting my time there.

Anyway, back to topic. I like Thief 3 and Thief 2 about equally well only for different reasons. Thief 3 really wins in terms of atmosphere and I found the stealth to be easier in third person because you can look around corners etc. It also gets a big bonus point just for the Cradle level. Holy shit...that level...
Thief 2 has a more interesting story though and like I said the non linear level design is more fun to explore. It's also a bit more creative, what with the robots and all.
The first Thief was good and innovative for the time but it feels pretty un-polished compared to Thief 2. Some levels felt as if the leveldesigner didn't quite know yet what to do with that new stealth mechanic...(if that makes sense) It gets a bonus point for the freaky Constantine mansion level though.
