Ocean’s 11 featured some pretty cool cats. The felons were slick, sly, and could mix up age-old sleight of hand with high-tech gadgets to pull off the perfect heist. If you took Ocean’s 11, nixed the cool-con concept, the high-tech gadgets, the witty banter, and the intelligent action, what you’d be left with is Th3 Plan, from Crave and Monte Cristo. Aside from being poorly conceived, Th3 Plan is made all the worse by its unintelligent artificial intelligence, unlikely scenarios, and rote, mundane gameplay.

Th3 Plan is a narrative-driven game, and it drops bombs around every corner. Unfortunately, the bombs in question are of the logic variety, and they leave holes the size of the Chicxulub Crater. For instance, in one mission, you’ll use very ho-hum gadgets to break into a museum and get the codes necessary to access the high-security vaults in the museum’s basement. Then, after leaving a trail of unconscious security guards that lead to the museum’s control room and curator’s office, the very next night you break into the museum again–through its front door, no less–and after knocking out a few more guards, you’ll waltz away with the museum’s prized, recently obtained Rembrandt. Theoretically speaking, you’d think that someone would have had the foresight to change the security codes that were quite obviously just stolen, let alone call in tighter security. You don’t need to be Columbo to pick up on the story’s many inconsistencies, and it’s difficult not to be overly dismissive of a storyline that takes itself seriously yet so overtly shuns plausibility.

Of course, a comatose storyline doesn’t immediately sink a game. It’s when that thoughtless state extends to the gameplay that you’ve got problems. And Th3 Plan has problems. Much of the first half of the game is spent sneaking around a prison, a train car, and a museum, avoiding detection by guards of various affiliations while gathering bits of information. It wouldn’t be accurate to say Th3 Plan has brain-dead artificial intelligence for these guards because that would imply there was a brain there in the first place. Distracting one of these diligent civil servants is as easy as chatting them up in conversation, and as long as you’re outside their cone of vision, they’ll never know you just gassed their buddies not 10 feet away. They’re also not big on pursuing you or setting off alarms, which means you’ll be able to easily flee a room or train compartment without fear of reprisal. At about the point where you start to wonder how snapping pictures of doorways, video cameras, ID scanners, ventilation ducts, offices, and so on is supposed to be fun, the game transitions to a very simple shooter. After you get a pistol with unlimited ammo, your thief’s tools, and a few medikits, you’re mysteriously dropped into your archnemesis’ backyard, left to connect the dots on how the game wants you to finish up the burglary. The AI here actually shows signs of life, which is to say enemies will slowly strafe right and left in a grim effort of self-preservation, but you’ll never face off against anything remotely challenging.

Th3 Plan would very much like to be a hyperintelligent crime caper, but in lieu of providing you that experience, it seems satisfied to simply claim that status time and time again as the story progresses. In a simpler time, pulling the heists might have been plausible, but distracting guards by chatting about the weather and then using low-rent gadgets to crack safes or computers comes off as amateurish, as well as absolutely ludicrous. Landing at $15, Th3 Plan is at least a budget-priced game, but the PlayStation 2’s bargain bin is a cornucopia of quality games these days, so there’s really no reason to give this one a second thought.
