雖然要到5月26號才會正式上市，但手腳快的媒體都已經拿到正式版遊戲了（或至少是Gold版？）。這些令人羨慕的混蛋發表了一篇值得一看的評論：Gamespy《俠盜三》（Thief）評析。雖然拿了還不錯的四顆星，但評論者顯然滿腹苦水，通篇都是抱怨。不過最後一段倒是說明了為何這麼評論的理由，畢竟對這款傑作續篇的期待太高，雖然仍然是款好遊戲，但可惜未能超越前作：

Since I’m going to spend considerable time in this review listing things that were annoying or flawed about the latest version of the Thief franchise, I thought it was important to establish something up front: Thief: Deadly Shadows is a terrific game. All of the stealth gameplay, intricate level design, Byzantine story branches, and delightfully larcenous action makes a welcome return in this edition. The godfather of stealth-action games is back. Unfortunately, while Thief: Deadly Shadows stands as an equal to any of the previous games in the series, it doesn’t exceed them – nor does it move the franchise forward as much as it was obviously designed to do.

不過，不管怎麼樣，博士還是想玩啊＿|￣|○
