Museum Raider - staring Anya Romanov [Posted on 2005-04-21] This is a great game with lots of atmosphere. Anya Romanov gives Lara Croft a run for her money (although she may catch up in 'Tomb Raider: Legend'). The animation of Anya, who must be the sexiest video game character out there, is superb. As are her moves, whether she swings from a pole or adjusts he knee high boots while waiting for you to decide on her next move. Also of note is the fact that while she may knock out her opponents, she doesn't kill them. Anya aside, there are other great characters in the game, not least Forge City, the setting of the game. Give STOLEN a go and once you are hooked, help build the game's premier fan site at www.forgecity.com.
Utterly Disappointing [Posted on 2005-05-10] When I first heard of Stolen, I had thoughts of something similar to Splinter Cell with a new character, new gadgets, and a new purpose. However the execution of this game is poor in the extreme. The developers have obviously geared this toward the console market and the PC version isn't very stable. The framerate is terrible, there are graphics glitches throughout, and the levels are nearly impossible to complete for the average gamer. Saved games don't even restart you were you saved, but back at the last "checkpoint", another carryover from the world of consoles.
While the main character's acrobatics are impressive, some of the "mini games" within such as hacking and lock-picking leave quite a bit to be desired. Hacking consists of repetitive patterns in a 3x3 grid and the game's poor response time makes it utterly frustrating. Lock picking is done with a series of shaped tumblers, and a huge amount of key tapping. If locks were anything like this in the real world, crime would be non-existant.
I think the consensus for this game will be pretty much either you love it or you hate it. Console gamers will probably be fine with it on an X-Box or PS2, but the PC version is a poor adaptation of a game that had the potential to be truly great.
SneakerGuy on Stolen [Posted on 2005-08-06] SUPERB Start with the steal everything and kill no one concept of THIEF
Add the high tech stealth toys of CHAOS THEORY
A pinch of athletic jumping, climbing, and flipping from TOMB RAIDER
Give those skills to a robber-babe with a sultry voice - and you have STOLEN.
I love stealth games - this is as good as it gets.
Graphics - crisp - clean - shades of blue and grey give the game a nice look
for stealth activities.
Difficulty - Medium - just the way I like it - challenging but not impossible.
If you like stealth games this is a must have!
