I have Thief and Thief 2 sitting on my shelf since god knows when, so I thought I'd give the first one a try. Sadly, I don't like it. I'm not that much into stealth gameplay, although I quite liked what little I played of Splinter Cell and Metal Gear Solid. Standing in one place for ages doing nothing but observing enemy movement patterns bores me to tears. Thief also allows for very little different actions (no fancy moves like in the previously mentioned series), the map is too vague, level design repetitive and the setting does almost nothing for me (at least in the first two levels). I know it was brilliant in its time, but I don't have patience for it, there are many more alluring games waiting to be played.
