Best sneaking game ever made. The storyline,game mechanics, etc. This game made 'First Person Sneaker" a new genre. Although there was some issues, that is why I gave it a 9.5 and not a 10 even though I love this game to death.... The reason is because I purchased Thief Gold some time ago and it has three new levels + fixes to the original TDP game. I'd probably give Thief Gold the 10 because it makes up for TDP's problems I think. Anyway, this has to be the best sneaking series ever to come across the earth in 1998! I love the medieval feel to it and even though it is not meant for killing - you can satisfy your "i've gotta kill everyone in site" feeling every once in a while >=) It is possible to play it like a FPS, especially since this one had more levels with monsters that you were fine with killing (down in the bonehoard) for example. TDP's sequel, Thief 2: The Metal Age, was a good game in its own right, but I felt that I liked TDP better because of the missions you went through. Thief 2 felt more like a traditional kind of gameplay: steal from homes, steal from the bank - TDP was more about adventure and less about the end goal. The end goal was always there, but I felt that TDP had that exploring kind of feel to it more so than Thief 2 will ever have.
Scoring:
Gameplay: 10.0
Graphics: 8.0
Sound: 10.0
Value: 9.5
Tilt: wtf is tilt anyway? I'll give it a 10.
Difficulty: I'd rate it on moderately difficult. You really gotta step out of your "First Person Shooter" shoes and get used to it if you are a FPS fan. This game isn't about shooting everyone up. If you want it to be easy, play on easy mode. That's what its for. There is a reason it has three difficulty levels. However, some say expert is the way its meant to be played I think.
Learning Curve: Probably the same thing Game Spot gave it: About a half hour - maybe less for those of you that play stealth games.
Stability: Minor Problems - Same as Game Spot said.
