Reviews:

Just Adventure, by Mike Schwab

"... In Looking Glass Studio's brilliantly conceived game, you play Garrett, the master thief. Remember when Indiana Jones fought bravely just so some ancient relic could be put in its proper place in a museum? Well, you want that same relic, but you have no intentions of putting it up for display."

"The concept of Thief is so unique and contrary to most other 3D games, you'll be amazed. The key here is stealth and agility. If you're hoping to kick some butt, please look elsewhere. You can (and sometimes are required to) go through an entire level without ever hurting or killing anyone."

"Looking Glass has quite a history of creating great games, but they really have outdone themselves here. It's hard to find any fault when you have a fantastic story, unique gameplay, and good graphics and sound to back it up. It's difficult to even categorize it in any known genre. There will be people who try to convince you it's too slow-moving and the graphics are only average, but so be it. While they're complaining, I'll be creeping through the shadows, finding new ways to sneak into some baron's castle and lift his prized possessions."
