Thief: This is the first time..

I've played a game that I'm actually scared to move around in.  I'm at the
Haunted Cathedral level and I am literally spooked by the voices of the
ghosts and the zombies.  I love the sword fights with the guards the best
(as far as action is concerned).

The game deserves "Game of the Year" (IMO)..

No the level with the magic sword has to be the freakiest one so far.

Especially when you get to the higher levels and the rooms start to get like
something out of an old hammer movie about devil worshippers or something...
and that childish giggle in the ambient music.... *shiver*


As to sword fights with the guards - when am I ever going to learn that they
are trained soldiers and I'm only a little thief??  Always manage to get my
head kicked in.

The sword fights are the best yet!  It really adds realism to the game
because I'm always moving like crazy in my seat!:)

Anyway, you think the guards are something, wait till you fight the Haunts!
They are the most awesome sword-fighting enemies in the game (or ever for
that matter)!

Personally, I think the sword-carrying creatures that live under
Constantines (Escape! - which I haven't been able to yet.) house are the
best sword fighters.
