Product Description ReviewThe Sting, is a mix of 3-D point and click, cartoon and strategy. You play master thief Matt Tucker, just released from the penitentiary. He wants to get back in the game and you have to help him. The game employs a planning system where you "walkthrough" the job, recording in detail all your moves. You aren't actually there; you are virtually doing the heist, seeing where the guards are, cutting alarm wires and stealing goods. Once you are satisfied, you get to implement your plan. This basically means you press play and the scheme that you recorded gets played back, you have no control over this and it will go exactly as you planned it. Each robbery has a specified amount of loot that you need to pick up and when your account is in the green and you have made it back to the car in one piece, a dialogue box pops up congratulating you on a successful job. If you got spotted the jig is up and you fail and have to go back to the drawing board. And ultimately that's it, you pull out of a job, you sell the loot, you buy better equipment so that you can pull off more daring jobs and the whole cycle begins again, until all the other denizens of the underworld think Matt is the coolest burglar in town. Graphically it's not cutting edge and the control system can be a little frustrating but ultimately it's very original, has a great music soundtrack and is well worth playing if you like games such as Thief 2 and Gangsters 2. --Kristen Bowditch Manufacturer's DescriptionHave fun learning to be a burglar. The player starts off as an apprentice burglar whose objective is to become the best-known criminal in town. Petty crime does not count as being honour among thieves, so you have to undertake the most spectacular and stylish robbery ever, the Sting After all, there is nothing better than a good, or do we mean bad, reputation in the underworld. The player has to work towards this objective, increasing his fame, or rather notoriety. Getting to know the right people and doing successful jobs are the stepping-stones to this goal. However, there is no way you can do a job alone, you need mates to help you, and they will all want their share of the loot. It makes sense to keep their number as low as possible. Of course, the better known they are, the better they perform. and then comes the sinister Ministry of Power.
