Overview

Thief is a first-person stealth game that likes the dark. You sneak through the ruins of haunted cathedrals, subterranean ruins, and forbidding prisons, in a dark and sinister city - heavily inspired by Steampunk and the Dark Ages. Garrett finds an ally in the shadows, as he steals for money and uncovers the hidden agendas of allies and enemies. The story that unravels is one of deception and revenge.

Not only is Thief an anti-shooter, it's also like an RPG without the trappings of levels, skills, and experience points. That's how it feels-again, as though I'm actually doing something. Real experience isn't defined by your character's combat or puzzle-solving; that's just a convenient hook.

Its emphasis on stealth, strategy, and ingenuity, coupled with its strong narrative structure and excellent mission design, adds up to a game that's stylish, serious, rewarding, and unique. - Greg Kasavin GameSpot Score 9.1 superb About our rating system » Review this Game » About Reader Reviews » Reader Review Composite Averages All subscores rounded to nearest whole number Screenshots Last updated: 12/03/98 more screens (6) GameSpot Forums Talk about Thief: The Dark Project (PC) » Most Recent Updates Last updated: 12/30/99 Readers' Choice: Best Endings Thief: The Dark Project Readers' Choice: Top Ten Monsters Thief: The Dark Project strategy tips Thief: The Dark Project (PC) FAQ/Walkthrough by Brigadier News | All Games | PC | Xbox | GC | PS2 | GBA | DC | N64 | PS | Saturn | GBC | Hardware | Forums | GSLive Help | Worldwide | About Us | Advertise on GameSpot | Join GameSpot Complete | Shop for Games CNET Networks: Builder | CNET | GameSpot | mySimon | TechRepublic | ZDNet About CNET Networks GameSpot is a CNET Networks Media Property.
