I loved the first two thief games on PC. Although I was pretty disappointed in Deadly Shadows, I thought it was OK. I believe it was developed by Ion Storm instead of the original studio, and I didnt like alot of the changes in the overall feel of the game.
I think this old review summarizes alot of the differences which I completely agree with.

Thief was and still is an awesome gaming experience. Too bad it probably looks really dated now, but if you can look past it its worth a spin if you can find it in a bargain bin somewhere. It would be nice to see the franchise revived someday but more in the spirit of the first two games.
PS360 ftw!
