Read Full Detailed Report - Thief II: The Metal Age

Thief™ II: The Metal Age gives you a chance to revisit the dark streets of the City, now changed by the Order of Mechanists, a new cult which has embraced many of the followers of the fallen religion of the Hammerites. In a world of steam robots and cameras Garrett will have to face a new opponent - Sheriff Gorman Truart, a lawman determined to rid the City of all criminals, starting with master-thief Garrett.

Equipped with a new set of tools, including flash mines and scouting orbs, Garrett has to keep himself alive and unveil the secret behind Truart's actions. Starts out looking as a simple case of corruption will eventually become much more, and Garrett again finds himself a reluctant savior--but that doesn’t mean he’s not going to rob the City blind while he saves it!

Addition info - trouble shooting
[list]
[*]Should you need to, you can set a custom resolution manually in Cam.cfg [/*:m]
[*]In my fiddlings with widescreen patch I found that if you just install the widescreen patch you get a multitude of resolutions(that are all usable in game) - but note these extra resolutions can only utilised on X1000 ati or older and geforce 7 or older gfx cards. If you have anything newer eg a DX10 card and or latest drivers installed and or vista installed you will HAVE to have DDfix installed otherwise as you know Thief wont run or look crap etc.[/*:m]

This patch implements widescreen mode flawlessly so should be eligible for the WSGF certification.
