Summary: Two of the best computer games ever.
Review: I bought these individually when they were first released. They are some of the best computer gaming times I've had. Every 6 months or so, I re-install them and play through again. On expert level. At night with the lights off. Wearing headphones to get the full effect.The first time through, you will have dreams about this game. And when you aren't playing it, you will still look for shadows to hide in, and listen to your own footsteps. Thief 1 was released in 1998, and Thief 2 in 2000, so the graphics are a few years old--lower res, and fewer polys than modern games (as mentioned by other reviewers) but don't let that stop you. The enjoyment and playability is equal or better than anything released since!

Summary: The Lovely game of Thief
Review: I loved Thief 1, the way you could sneak around and whack people wiht a club behind the head, so I decided to buy this Bundle to play the new Thief,(which is going to be out of stock veeeerrrry soon because Looking Glass closed down), and the old one to remind myself of how complete this package is, I know I will enjoy playing these games, I hope you will too :).

Summary: Cool
Review: I played Thief 1 and I still playing Thief 2. They are excellent games. Good graphics, good sound. And I'm waiting for Thief 3.

Summary: The game that won me over to action-adventures
Review: I thought nothing could be better than graphic adventures like Riddle of the Sphinx or the Myst series. I heard this game was about NOT trying to kill, so I gave it a try and within minutes I knew what I had been missing. I'm only half way through Thief I and already I'm waiting for Thief III. The game is enormous especially using Alex Fung's terrific, huge walkthru to experience the entire game.
This game makes you think. No mindless killing, in fact 'Experts' must NOT kill or they will fail the mission. I love the quiet and the solitude without worrying about something jumping out at you. Nothing is timed. No traditional puzzled to pull your hair out over. Treasures are everywhere and so are ingenious traps. The selection of arrows (water to put out torches, moss to soften footsteps, fire to explode on impact, etc.) make this game the best gaming experience I have ever had and I have played over 100 adventure games. This is the only game I have felt I wanted to write a review for. Justadventure.com is monitoring the latest from the developers of Thief III, so take a look.

Summary: Holds up 3 years later
Review: Man, what an incredible couple of games! Can't say enough great things about them. I reinstalled Thief 1 this week after not having played it for about 3 years, and it's still just as amazing now. "Return to the Cathedral" is a legendary level, and it very well might scare the gonads outta the ol' jewel bag when the undead guard rushes up on you. Thief 2 is just as good and creey in a slightly more science-gone-awry way. Both of these games succeed in creating a very specific feeling world that you will think about once the box is shut off. The level of dramatic tension they deliver is incredible, on par with a really good scary film.

Review: My 16 year old doughter plays this game all the time. The younger children like to watch her play it and "participate" in the playing of it. I noticed now that it is rated M for mature, and I don't know If I should make them stop playing this game. For "yes" please click yes, for "no" please press no. I need this answer quickly. Thank you.
By the way, people who like these kind of games would like this one!

Summary: as good as they get
Review: normally, i use a mac, but when i bought my windows game box, i had to buy some food for it. i ordered, with low expectations, a whole bunch of [cheap games] including these old thief games. what i got absolutely astounded me. let me start by saying i dont play internet games, and the military games so much in vogue dont interest me (the real history is so much more fascinating). with thief, here are two games that are "shooters" where you dont have to kill anyone. as a matter of fact, the higher levels of expertise require that you dont. in this way, this game reminds me of two of the best ever, deus ex and nolf. it is often easier to kill the people who are obstructing you in your larcenous quests, but that makes the games easier . when i am stealing, all these characters attempt to interfere. killing them allows the player to steal in a stress free environment, but a good thief shouldnt kill. the difficulty level depends not on the strength of opponents, but on the number of tasks and objectives you have to accomplish. on expert difficulty, you must find many hidden relics, gather more loot, kill fewer people, all while getting less available health. health is very uncommon, so you have to go through this whole game taking almost no hits (no convenient medikits) which adds considerably to the difficulty. many reloads are required. thief 1 is an old game, with rather crude graphics. dont let this fool you. it is dark, creepy, and very difficult. for outright fear, it is better than Undying, and there are several levels that are as hard as any video game (bonehoard, haunted cathedral, and return to the cathedral). you have to contend with haunts, zombies, burricks (overgrown frogs with bad breath), bugmen, and scissorhands. this is video gaming at its best. thief 2 is more refined. the bad guys are more plausible, though not as scary, and the combination of middle ages setting with modern technology (electricity) can be quite amusing. the police station which you must infiltrate has all the modern accoutrements despite its medieval location. the shooting range has the electric target track runners, but with archery targets. the levels are HUGE, particularly citibank, party, and soulforge. two complaints only: the two game set does not contain the "gold" version, typical of windows reissues, and its not available for mac. games of this quality should be. so, if youre looking for games which are exciting, challenging, and give a sense of accomplishment, and at the same time have a cheap price, forget the fact that these are old and look at the gameplay and the level design. they have not been surpassed.

Summary: Two of the BEST Games EVER made
Review: there comes a time in the life of a gamer when he grows tired of playing the same old boring FPS (First Person Shooter) games he or she have come to love (don't get me wrong, they still rock!) this is where thief and thief 2 come in. when i first got these two games, my heart pounded in suspense, my mind was going haywire, and the drool slowly formed in pools on the table. no game to this date has captured my ultimate interest, passion, excitement, and overall fun than these two games. these are the BEST games i have EVER played. not even Deus Ex matched up to all of the amazement and wonder i went through as i played these games. this game is a "first person sneaker" where stealth is more crucial than braun (and i mean it, this isn't your metal gear solid 2, i could just cap him easily sort of thing!) guards react to your sounds and the sight of you, shadows are used to hide, items such as water arrows, mines, scouter eyes, etc, are your allies, and the gold and wealth is yours for the taking (literally, you can steal valuables for money!) graphically, the dark engine is outdated, but who cares, it still looks decent in my book, adds a rich and creepy atmosphere, and can handle even low end machines. not only do you go up against guards, but machines, beasts, and the ever-so-popular undead as well (which totally will scare the living ... out of you). overall, if you want two incredible games with great stories, gameplay, atmosphere, and strategy, GET THESE GAMES IMMEDIATELY! also, be on the lookout for Thief 3, by Ion Storm. Gaming Guru Creator Warren Spector (Deus Ex, System Shock 2) is helping in the design and the graphics will be using the Unreal Havoc engine. Thank you, Looking Glass, for a tremendous experience!

Summary: Im not sure if I love it or hate it.
Review: This game has a wonderful idea for it and a great storyline, but Garrett the Thief has such glitchy movement that I almost thought of giving it 1 star, but once you can get past that this game is wonderful. Buy this package while its still 15 dollars before it goes out of stock.
