| We can't get enough of these games. This one, specifically, is awesome because it just freakin' is, haha. It's just really great. Not just the characters (that we know and love from the series) but the mission, story-line, and the graphics. It's a great game. A good family game, too, everybody could play, you know, if they could play Mario or something, they can play this. |

| This is a fun game for kids, inoffensive language and graphics. Requires a lot of coordination to complete all the tasks. good "cheats" to help you find the paths. |

Yeah, you could play Grand Theft Auto, or you could play Jak and Daxter. And you could play Assassin's Creed, or you could play Sly Cooper. Basically the ideas are the same, just one is drenched in blood and the other's drenched in cartoon fun. The choice is up to you. When Sucker Punch created Sly Cooper and the Thievious Racoonus, as when Naughty Dog created Jak and Daxter, it was a great platformer, but then, like Jak II, Sly Cooper and the Band of Thieves became something more. You can argue about which game came first or which did it better, but one thing I know for sure: there are no other games like these that combine stealth action, sandbox overworlds, and fun cartoon gameplay that won't offend the parentals (although if you want a cleaner cartoon crazy action shooter without the violence of one of those "adult action titles" you can go with Ratchet and Clank 3).
The plot this time around is quite similar to the first: retrieve the pieces and take on the bosses who have them one at a time. Only instead of somewhat frustrating platformer gameplay we have the aforementioned sandbox gameplay, and like Jak and Daxter, way more mini-games the second time around. For the stealth action you have Sly, for some techno-demolition work you have Bentley, and for smashing things to smithereens you have Murray. The switch-ups and mini-games go a long way to increase the variety of the gameplay, and after the extremes of Sly's two companions make you exercise crazy caution and bust loose when played through any of the overworlds (each one a fortress swarming with guards).
The cartoon graphics are pretty much perfect, with no draw-in or other noticeable glitches. The cut-scenes are largely in-game engine (and you might wonder why there are any pre-recorded ones at all). The music is typical caper-film type stuff and perfectly appropriate. The controls are about as good as you can get with the Dual Shock controller.
If this game has a flaw, it's probably the at-times ridiculous difficulty. If it has a shining star, it's the way that you can often get around that extremely high difficulty by learning all the shortcuts. You will find as you play that very often the key to solving a puzzle is to scope ahead and "case the joint" rather than running straight into a situation (unless you're playing as "The Murray"). And of course the environments at times make those "leap from a great height to your seeming death" moments possible. It may be a cartoon, but it's still fun.
My favorite moments include Bentley's quest to save his captured friends (the cinematic made me laugh out loud), and the leap from the top of the second world with Rajaan (Assassin's What?). That and chasing Neela and running from and dancing with Carmelita (why does she remind me of Catherine Zeta Jones?).
If you liked the first game you need to give this one a try. If you love cartoon-type games like the Jak series and don't mind some forgiving stealth action (and a generous dose of humor), you need to buy this one pronto.

| This game is leaps and bounds above the frustration-fest that is the first game in the series. No more 1-hit deaths, we finally have a health meter! You really have to be careless to have an instant death as well, such as falling from a platform into water. This game is SO much better than the first. The only other area that needs help is the camera. It seems to shift into an awkward position when you least expect it. Otherwise, this game is almost flawless! |
