Others say..."All better now."I reviewed this once (I even named the game wrong), but I have upgraded my computer and tried again. And what a wonderful game I have found. There are many levels with many different objectives to complete. And they are very challenging. The AI is pretty solid and once you are found, they will chase you almost to the death. The graphics are still pretty solid and sound is still pretty good. Though my first experience wasn't very good, I am glad that I kept this game and tried it again many years later. I was totally drawn into the game and the story and can't wait until Garrett comes back in Thief 3 (which I beleive is already out.) Though the game is slowed paced and tedious at times, it was still very enjoyable and very challenging. I don't think I could take too many games like this (Thief and Commandos series are probably the only 2 I will get into), but I will definitely get every sequel they release for this series unless the really screw up and ruin this series with a lame game (it has already happened to 2 other series I really enjoyed: Lord of the Realms and Commandos). This is a must for Thief 1 lovers and anyone getting into this genre will want to start with Thief 1 and 2 before getting Thief 3. A very good game. "Wonderful Game"So here is how it works The Metal Age has a better STORY. The Metal Age has better missions. Wonderful game all round frankly it is also one of a kind because no other game forces you to reley on strength, speed and wits at the same time. If you are feed up with the other games that really seem to have no point other than to blow stuff up try this game on for size. Overall-Has the best theif mission ever--Life of the Party
"Best Single Player Game Ever Made" Thief: The Dark Project is without a doubt the best single player game ever made. Thief 2: The Metal Age is nearly as good as the original and has several of the best Thief missions (Life of the Party, Casing the Joint). If you don't already own it, buy this game.
"Great game! Too bad its M." I managed to play the demo of Thief 2, and found it to be the best stealth game next to Splinter Cell. The only problem is it's rated M for Blood and Violence, and my parents don't like my playing M games. Just remember, the blood and violence is like tomb raider, except less fighting if you play it right. So, I recommend this game to those of you who really like Stealth games, and whose superiors allow it!
"The "Thief" series is incredible!" Few games are this original. Thief gives you that rush you get from being somewhere you're not supposed to be. The AI is some of the best I've seen in a PC game. The characters can see and hear you. They can call for help and run when wounded. The graphics are average quality, but the sound is excellent. Also, the storyline and acting are well done and entertaining. My only complaint is that the play control is sometimes buggy. Overall rating 5 stars!

What our customer's say!
"Love the Thief series", The Thief series is one of my all time favorites and the second installment does not disappoint. If you were a fan of the first one you will enjoy this game and even if you weren't, it's still a very entertaining play.
"Just buy it", Sorry, but this one will be short. I see other people have gone in depth about this game.
here are the facts: It is fun. it is a bitch sometimes, and it is NOT a shooter. It plays like any first person adventure, but you have to sneak around a lot (like Planet of the Apes) and learn to fire a bow over long distances - which they did excellently on graphics-wise.
If you are reading this you probably are wondering "if" you should buy it. Yes. Trust me.
"Another (unfortunately final) Masterpiece From Looking Glass!", Alas poor Looking Glass, I knew ye games well...
Not only were Looking Glass Studios just terrific programmers and designers, but they were one of the few companies (very few) that created sequels that OUT-DID the originals!
Therefore, Thief 2 TMA, is a near flawless game in almost every aspect.
Good ol' Garrett is back and stealthier than ever! The best qualities that made the original so- well- original were the concepts. Sneaking, stealing, pick-pocketing, lock-picking, puzzle/problem solving, great cast, weaponary makes their glorious returns here and are improved (and fixed here and there too).
Now what makes The Metal Age (no, not 80s hair metal bands) better than The Dark Project? Well, aside from the improved weaponry and gadgets the story is more streamlined to adhere to the gameplay better. TMA was a tad over-board in the Hammerities theology deterring from the pacing of the game at times. Here, the Mechanists are a theology as well but don't slow down the pace. Not to say that it's thin on plot- it surely isn't- it has a great story as all LGS games do.
The graphics are great for the time it was released (today they look kind of "primitive") and the foley is terrific as always. It carries some of the SFX from TDP and adds more sounds and removes some of the annoying sounds from TDP too.
If I have to mention (and I do) any negatives I would say that there are a few glitches (even for the final version of 1.8) that ruin the game. I tended to get to get stuck in corners and had to restart. At times, when you're moving at the slowest pace you are still heard from half across a room. I found that ridiculous. Lastly, there is no 32bit resolution availabilty. Bummer.
Overall, this is another jewel in the small but flawless Looking Glass Studios crown.
The other 3 LGS games are:
System Shock System Shock 2 (greatest PC game ever created) Thief: The Dark Project
Now go get it/them Taffer!
"The Best Game Ever!!!", I have worked in the Role Playing Game industry for about 12 years and Thief 2 is hands down the best game I have ever played. The story, the characters, game play, everything is increadible. A game like this is a rare treasure.
"Sequel to Thief: The Better Half", I absolutely fell in love with this game even before I had played Thief: The Dark Project. I'm so glad I started out with the "better" part of this game with Garrett's mechanical eye, vine arrows and probably a lot more. These help big time in getting past the levels. I experienced its absence when I played Thief: The Dark Project which was pretty tedious, but it wasn't bad.
Thief 2: The Metal Age has got quite a story. You'll be amazed to find out (which I did after analyzing the game during Algebra) the pace in progress by starting out at some fancy mansion to help someone, to actually saving the city. On the way, a lot of things are encountered which lead to other things causing subplots but in the end they're all related to the big picture, and it doesn't get off track.
I was pretty addicted to this game, and still am. I long to slip into that sober and forbidding atmosphere which is brought out so well through the music and the lighting; and Garrett helps the situation through his sarcasm and cynicalness.
This is one kind of game which I know I won't grow out of. In a way, it's not repititive, as sometimes when you save the game at a point where a guard's going to walk in on you, he sometimes won't turn up when the game is loaded. Also, in levels that require locating some kind of loot or item which you carry on to the next level, (considering that you're starting fresh on the level) it can be hidden in 14 different places, and I haven't experienced all of it either!
I really recommend this game, especially if you're a First-Person-Shooter person, and for once there aren't the usual shotput guns or bazookas or alienated monsters and what-not. Thief 2: The Metal Age is definately a break-through.

Read this reviews before You buy..."Almost as good as the amazing original", I've never played a game that I didn't find more intense and involving than Thief and Thief II. Thief II has a lot more story and many more tight spots that are difficult to get through. If you enjoy tense atmosphere's, this game gives you a feeling of being the hunter and the hunted at the same time. This game is extremely enjoyable, but falls short of the first because of some of the later levels being a bit too hard. You can't beat it if you enjoy sneaking around.
"The Thinking Man's Shooter", For those who enjoy the mindless slaughter started by Wolfenstein 3D, enhanced by Doom, and perfected by Quake, this is not the game for you. For those seeking a more cerebral experience from a shooter, this will be what you have been looking for. A worthy follow-up to one of the most original games ever, The Metal Age finds master thief Garrett facing a formidable foe in the form of Karas and the Mechanists. The Mechanists have bought their way into high society by providing high tech servants and security for the city's upper class. In addition, Karas, the Mechanist leader, has labeled Garrett as a threat to the Mechanist "religion" and is working to see that he never draws another breath. First of all, if you had problems getting through the first Thief, the sequel is going to frustrate you to death. The main thing I found to be problematic was the fact that the Mechanists have replaced a great deal of the torches with electric lights. This renders your water arrows nearly useless and makes concealing shadows few and far between. Overall, if you are looking for a thinking man's game with a hefty dose of challenge, or if you were hooked on the first Thief, this is one game you shouldn't miss.
"Not Quite As Good As original Thief or Thief Gold", Thief II delivers better graphics and pretty much the same seamless gameplay as Thief/Thief Gold. Unfortunately, In Thief II, I found the gameplay less exciting from the lack of fear - the original Thief had creatures that just scared the pants off me and this in turn created a much longer gameplay because I found I had to sneak around a lot more. Thief II still rates high in my book as far as PC games go, but can't compare with the original. I just love being spooked too much to give this 5 stars. Still, I am definitely looking forward to Thief III to be released next year.
"The O.K. Sequel to one of the best games ever", Thief 2. This game could have been genius. Instead, it just holds its own. I know that the original "Thief: The Dark Project" was not running all the latest technology when it was released orignally. In fact the graphics engine was severely lacking as opposed to the other First Person perspective games that were available at the same time, a-la Quake 2. What made it a standout though was the incredible gameplay. The stealth element did a great deal to make the player feel that he/she was in the shoes of Garett. Thief 2 is fun, but it doesn't offer enough in the way of innovations. In fact I think that the keyboard/mouse control scheme in the first Thief game were more intuitive. My second major complaint has to do with the enemies. The AI actually seemed to take a dive in this game compared to that of the first. This was not a problem with the human enemy characters, but the metalic enemies are just plain dumb and annoying. I hate it when First Person games have aliens and robots hunting me. They are much less scary than intelligent human AI. Anyway, the graphics are better, run in higher resolution, and with a better color pallet than "...The Dark Project" but these improvements do not forgive the more mediocre gameplay. In summation: If you are looking for the best of this series, get your hands on a copy of "Thief Gold." It is "Thief: The Dark Project" but it includes a few extra levels. If you have already played the first and loved it, give "Thief 2" a try, but don't expect the sequel to impress you like the first.
"Expansive deep sequel, arguably better than the first", I got the demo for the Lord Bafford's Mansion level of Thief: The Dark Project on a demo disc i got free at CompUSA, and after that, I was hooked. Both games in the series are intriguing, scary, and have great story lines. The game also has an element that I'm not sure the developers had in mind: comedy. The game has some of the funniest voices and one-liners I've ever heard in a PC game, and i'm not sure if they did it intentionally. In the Lord Bafford demo, I knocked out this guy and rang an alarm bell near the end of the level, and this other guard comes in with a REALLY RASPY VOICE and asks, "Are you alright?" When getting no response several seconds later, he says "No, no, of course you're not alright. Sorry!" I couldn't stop laughing. It was just the way he said it. There are many other funny ones, like this one guard who swung his sword at me yelling, "KNOCK YOUR TEETH OUT!" and the mechanist who yells "AHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" when he sees me (that was actually really scary too, but funny), but discover the rest for yourself. An awesome game. An awesome series. Have fun.
