Thief: Deadly Shadows

"Deadly Shadows was none other than key member of the Thief and Thief 2, Randy Smith (well up until he quit Ion Storm about two months ago). Everyone can take comfort in knowing that the guy running the show had a very good idea of what Thief devotees were expecting to see in the third game."

"It is a respectable follow-up to the series that introduced so many people to the world of stealth game play. It is not without its troubles, but these bumps along the way are minor when evaluating the entire undertaking."

"I cannot get over how well ION Storm has made a Looking Glass game. There are some departures to be sure, but they're only noticeable because in all other respects this is as faithful a sequel as can be imagined. Top that off with sparkling graphics and a crisp audio design that, again, faithfully recaptures the feel of the original two games, and you have a fantastic game."

Taking over the reigns from Looking Glass, Ion Storm, using their Deus Ex graphics engine, has brought us back into "Garrett’s world with the latest installment in the Thief series, Deadly Shadows. And while not a perfect bull’s-eye, this one’s definitely on the mark as one of the better releases in the series."

"Deadly Shadows seems to be coming together quite well. Spector assured us that the team has carefully considered what went right and what went wrong with Deus Ex: Invisible War and is applying the lessons learned to the development of this new game."
