Are the first three that come up on google.

Rock, paper shotgun liked it but i think John Walker might actually be disappearing up his own arse.

I think the one that i actually noticed was the one from sneaky bastards, but traffic has crashed their site. I'll see if i can find it.

Ah that's a shame...

Lots of people go by reviews, maybe the publishers should consider demos again, let the gamer make their own minds up.

This game has been hyped, and hotly anticipated since its announcement in 2009. The reviews were all rather too late (I suspect this was a deliberate tactic by the publisher to minimise losses) to enable many people to cancel pre-orders. As the game is over 20GB on PC (I don't know how big it is on the other 4 platforms) It would still need a sizeable demo, requiring extra work for the developer, and most likely seen as a waste of money by the publisher.

Having said all this, I will play the game (being a fan since the first instalment) but I'm not expecting it to be any good (maybe I'll be surprised). Luckily, the first 3 games are still playable, along with the various mods, particularly the Dark Mod.

When previous gen games now retail for almost £50 in the shops and come with paywalls and gated content (depending on your choice of vendor), going be reviews realy is the only way. Thief looks like it's going to be a waste of money.

It's... Alright. The city hub is useless and frustrating and could possibly have been left out. Just have the missions (like the first two games) and put a side quest or two inside them. This would've tightened the game up a bit and removed one of its more irritating features. The missions themselves are fairly solid. No real complaints there other than it being a bit... meh. It's alright, pick it up in the sales.

Is Dishonored better, in your opinion?

Less Thief-y, but a better overall game.
