I gave it a 9,but it was the first Thief game I played and really drew me in and made me a fan of the series. Would have given it an 8 otherwise, it is still a good game none the less.

4, although a 5 or 6 might be more fair. I thought the plot and character development was weak, the graphics weren't very good or engaging, the game ran like crap, the levels were small, and there were bugs and broken stuff. Gameplay wise it still felt kinda like Thief, which is good.
From a neutral standpoint I'd say it was a somewhat less-than-average game. Compared to its predecessors it was a serious step backwards.

I agree. The whole thing is so blue that I get burning eyes and headache from playing it and it behaves weirdly - slowing down, speeding up, etc. - for no apparent reason. After all our anticipation and even buying a new computer to ensure that we could play it, it was a disappointment.
I played it through because it was ... well ... Thief. If it had been any other game I would have uninstalled it and demanded my money back.

Rate this as a game and not a THIEF game,
Therein lies the problem.

Abomination?
The best Metal Gear Solid game pales in comparison to Thief at its absolute worst, and those games still routinely win Game of the Year awards...
...the anti-Deadly Shadows crowd boards the short bus yet again.

Yeah, ignore the Fair to Masterpiece numbers, why don'tcha?:tsktsk:
Focusing on the crowd of 4 is your problem.

I gave it a 6. Unlike Invisible war, I could tell the developers actually tried. The engine held the game back a lot though, as did the necessity of an XBOX version.
On the plus side, some parts were quite good, including the Overlook Mansion and the Cradle mission.

i always said that as a standalone game Thief 3 was good/very good, so 8/10 from me. but as a Thief game, of course, it's :tsktsk:
