About Thief II: The Metal Age

Thief II: The Metal Age is a classic stealth game developed by Looking Glass Studios and published by Eidos Interactive Corporation. The ultimate thief is back, and this time you tread softly through 15 new complex, non-linear levels full of loot to steal and guards to outsmart. You plan your route, watch patrols and slip through the shadows, which makes every successful heist feel earned. The game delivers thrilling stealth-based first-person gameplay that rewards patience, observation and careful use of the tools in your kit.

The world of Thief II is a place of powerful new technologies, fanatical religions and corruption. A riveting story draws you into this setting, and the narrative unfolds through 15 huge missions filled with intriguing subplots. The non-linear design of each level lets you choose a different path every time you play, so the same mission can be approached from rooftops, side passages or quiet corridors. That freedom gives the campaign lasting replay value for players who enjoy finding new ways to reach their target unseen.

Your opponents are smarter than before thanks to advanced enemy AI, and to outwit them you carry sophisticated new master thief tools and gadgets. The game earned a strong reputation over the years: it holds a hall of fame entry at GameSpy, an entry in GameSpot’s Greatest Games of All Time, and an Outstanding Achievement in Character or Story Development award at the 3rd annual Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences Awards in 2000. It remains a landmark of the stealth genre and a favourite among fans of first-person games.
