How long is the game? What does replayability look like?

[Lach]

Not sure if I am gonna buy T3.... how long is it and how does replay stack up to T1/T2?

[dracflamloc]

Length: So far I've completed 3 missions. (on expert), on average they took e over 70-90 minutes each. So very good! Replayability is awesome I think. Unless they release an editor or me and the folk working on hacking up one for ourselves works out then EVENTUALLY you will probably go back to Thief2 FMs, but this game is incredible and well worth the 40 dollars.

I took two old PC games to EB that i never play anymore and got $12 off on the trade in.

Overall I'm obsessed with this game I must say.

Well how many missions are there?

[Quillan]

I have heard 10, but I can't be sure. I've put in 12 hours of play time so far, and I have 3 missions plus the training mission complete.

Great to see it's possible to spend lots of time on each mission, just like in T1/2.

If you want longer gameplay time, make sure you play in expert mode.. you'll get more objectives if t3 follows it's predecessors example

[Quillan]

It doesn't seem quite the same, at least so far. In T1, upping the difficulty level increased the amount of cash loot you had to get, but also added some specific goals that had to be accomplished. The items in question were in the level regardless, but didn't count as goals on the lower difficulty settings. All I have seen so far is an increase in the amount you had to get (both normal and special loot items).

The biggest difference between difficulties in T3 is the AI. The higher the difficulty level, the smarter the guards get.

Hmmm ... too bad.. i kind liked those extra features.... i mean... cragscleft without the extras of expert mode is just... meh ;p

I realize that extra goals add to replay, and playing time. However, I'm kinda glad so far that all I have had to do is steal. I'm not too far into the game yet, so that may change. I'm always a little annoyed when I play the Hitman games and I have to do stupid spy type stuff. Turning off the bomb, or stealing plans. I just want to kill people in a game called Hitman. Same with Thief.

You can always increase the replay by playing on Hard first and then Expert the second time around. Don't go for all the loot the first time, just get your percentage and get out. (I think you need something like 90% on Expert, and something like 60% on Hard.)
