If it seems like I'm going on about the view and realism in Thief, it's because the feeling of being a thief really is all-encompassing. The view has been developed with exceptional quality, the magic of which is only broken when the camera moves to third person when you climb walls (Tomb Raider-style). The level of realism is such that you see your hands interacting with the environment at all times opening doors with picks, touching paintings and books in search of buttons, leaning on walls, or pulling curtains aside. Thief works from a very accomplished first person point of view that really outs the player in the shoes of Garrett (the protagonist). The truth is that although it's not exactly a marvel, Thief does do the job of keeping you glued to your screen so that you can find out what's going on in all the chaos. The game also has a main plot that unfolds over time, with plenty of intrigue and surprises not everyone is as they seem. Your objective in each mission is to steal defined objects, according to the requests from Basso, your crime 'provider'. In Thief, you take on the role of a thief in a city inspired by a Victorian London, mixed with a steampunk theme.
