Thief: Deadly Shadows (Xbox, 2004)

In this game the player has to get used to the idea that the character has to sit, wait, and hide a lot. There is no charging in and killing the bad guys or else you're dead. Real quick. And there are limited weapons to use / acquire as well. In this game there is a system of money that is collected to buy additional weapons, buy the better cost more of course. Some players may not like the way the game goes, but I got it because I think it is funny on how the background is made. Plumbing and electricity was not around in that time that the game is set in. And the music and special effects are the same as in Deus Ex game as it is made by Eidos.

Thief (XBOX VERSION) has a MAJOR Bug, the game won't let you play on the hardest level, you can play the first mission on 'hard', but after that the game will reset to 'normal' by itself, this was corrected on the PC version (via a patch), but not on the XBOX version.

Playing on 'hard' was one of the best elements on the first two PC games since the actual game is not 'hard', but the stealth elements are. Too bad.

Thief: Deadly Shadows(Xbox version) has provided the beautiful graphic,lighting & shading including good textures details in game when I play it with Xbox gameconsole. It's workable with very good performance like PC version. But I love XBOX version because I have no need to worry about the specification of PC computer and compatibility of updated graphic card driver. Each missions in game has the challenging details. It make me enjoy these thief game series very much. Use hidden skills as stealth technique in completing mission. I love it!!! Strongly recommend for anybody who love the adventure & action role playing game. U can't miss it in your game collection.
Remark: It's workable and compatible with the next-generation gameconsole like XBOX 360 also. Play it with XBOX 360 can make more clear better textures and smooth pictures because the resolution in game may be upgraded by XBOX360 to be HD Ready(720i)which depend on your LCD monitor resolution also if it can support. Overall's impressive!

This adventure is ahead of its time. A different angle from the "shoot 'em up" classics, Thief brings finesse and incredible style to a historic masterpiece.
The levels are challenging, with almost unlimited enemies with great storylines and culture tied to them. This game is not a quick finish either, it is several hours of user determined routes. Well designed and true to history, the architecture and costumes are impressive. Beware of the Assylum test, on a big screen with surround sound, in a dark room....It wil flat out Freak you out. The Hero is perfect, like that guy that you root for, but wouldn't trust to walk your dog. The weapons are skill based and not impossible to collect, you just have to spend your money wisely. Always think where you will be next before you buy your weapons. I cleared this game on vacation in a "little sleep" weekend unless you are really in the game, it will take you alot longer than that. You simply will not be dissapointed.
thanks for comin' out.

I bought this game for the xbox many years ago, and traded it in when I got my xbox 360. When I discovered it was "backwards compatible" and would play on my 360, I immediately lusted after it all over again! I love playing thief: deadly shadows because its never the same game twice! You can change how you tackle each mission, how stealthy you want to be, what tools and items you will use, even who you want to be aligned with. And once you've unlocked an area, you can visit it again at any time - which means you can take advantage of different prices and shop stock at vendors and fences in different areas to always get the best deals and the best items. Its also super fun to hide from the law just by stepping into the shadows... or pile heaps of concussed npcs in dark alleys... and I never get tired of breaking into people's houses/shops/apartments and looting them for all they're worth! Most of your enemies can be dispatched with a bit of cunning, rather than an overt show of brute strength, and it really challenges you to look at every situation and assess before you act. Guaranteed hours of gameplay!
