The original Thief game and possibly the best of them so far. Back in the late 1990s there was nothing to touch it, we'd never seen anything quite like it before and even today it remains one of my personal favourites.
It still has the great atmosphere it always did, despite the graphics being obviously out of date by today's standards. But graphics aside, there's no denying the game has a fantastic story, with a genuine evil mastermind which you spend the second half of the game hunting down. It leads Garrett through a world of murky streets, stately manors, tunnels and labyrinths to name a few, filled by many colourful and interesting characters, with some of the best and funniest banter between guards you'll ever hear.
Thief : Dark Project is as frightening as it is exciting, with only basic weapons at your disposal, you'll always feel vulnerable. You're most powerful weapons in this game are your ears and your eyes, quite different to the usual slasher/shooter games up until that point.
Play The Dark Project again and again. It's the original and what other stealth games should learn by, including I'm afraid, the makers of there latest Thief entry.
