Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus

First off, this game is all around good.

Everything from the voices to the animation is great.

The first time I saw this game, I had a feeling this was gonna be good.

This game is about a raccoon who is kind of a "theif of thieves," growing up around a whole ancestry of master thieves, on the night of his 8th birthday when he was supposed to inherit the family's legendary book, The Thievius Raccoonus, a gang of villains known as the Fiendish 5, ransacked his house until they found it and they split the book among themselves and split up to different parts of the world to commit crimes.

The level design was excellent.

I hate for this to be like a spoiler, but by the looks of things, judging by the end of the credits, I'd say that there'll be another Sly Cooper game. At the end of the credits, Clockwerk's eye opens up, signifying that he's still very much alive.

I give this game a 10 out of 10.

If you a fan of the popular classic Platform PlayStation 1 games like Spyro(mostly),Crash Bandicoot or Jack and daxter,this game is for you! But this game gets many elements from Spyro, This is why: Portals: you enter levels by portals to different levels. And they make a sound when your near one. Thats spyro the dragon reference. HomeWorlds:Like Spyro, The levels are connected the Homeworlds where you enter levels,gain extra lives and lucky charm. But they are only entered if you beat the first level. And also you cant access the whole home world without obtaining certain amount of keys for the locks. Thats a reference to spyro ripto rage. Characters:don't Bentley and Murray eyes look familiar to ya ll? It looks like spyro or aku aku eyes. Slys health:Just like those platform games i mentioned, spyro health was the color of sparx and crash health was how strong aku aku is, the brigther his feather is,the more hit points you have. Sly's health is how bright the lucky charm is. And its similar to sparx health.Because when he gets Hit,his aura changes color. Collectibles:well you collect clues to get new abilities: No references.you collect keys to end the level: that's a reference to spyro ripto rage.You collect coins which 100 gives you a lucky charm: no references. Enemies:well enemies may be difficult to defeat but if you follow its pattern and movement,it will be a piece of cake! Abilities:sly can jump and use other stealthy moves.its like gaining abilities from spyro ripto rage. Thats all there is! Well time for my review: Story:The story is about Sly's life and his family history. But it was torn apart when the fiendish fives arrived and killed his parents.So without his parents,he was sent to orphanage where he met his two best pals Murray and Bentley! They play stealth games,stealing and robing. All sly's life he's been doing it to the good. But he decided to do the right thing this time for his family and his life! He decided to get revenge on the fiendish five with the help with his friends to get the pages of the book the fiendish five stole back!The stories are divided into each chapter and thats each home worlds. So the story is pretty good.no problem.score:7 Characters:the characters are great!you have Sly the doing,Bentley the genius and Murray the hulk! They all put their abilities to use to solve the crimes!But Bentley gets overprotected of sly sometimes!Score:8 GamePlay: Its fun. But it can get frustrating at times.Score:6 Music: The music is fantastic! It has the best beats! Score:8 Graphics:Its pretty good.nothing special about it.Score:7 Now my total score is:36/50(7)

One of the best platformers of the PS2 generation -- not just for its gameplay, but for its hilarious story and equally humorous and engaging characters. The environments were fun, the difficulty was just right, and I still come back all these years later!

This game is very good for it's generation but it don't passes the second game the second is the best of the series. I like the final boss because he's very powerful and you must go to the first level to collect lives in order to beat him. And believe me this is the last game i played from the series. First i played Sly 2 then Sly 3 and finally Sly 1. They were all great. I can play them all because i own the Sly Trilogy for the PlayStation 3. The only bad thing about this game is the lives you must collect a few in order to beat hard bosses. But play this game is very good and it contains amazing stages. My favorite is Ruby's swamp.

Have you've ever picked up one of those games you thought would be really bad, but instead you fell in love with at first game playing session? This is what happened with me!

The story, as expected, follows our protagonist, Sly Cooper (who comes from a long line of thieves), as he searches for the pages of his family's heirloom, the Thievius Raccoonus, which holds all of the family's thieving. You see, when Sly was just a young cub, five intruders showed up in his home and murdered his father. As if that wasn't bad enough, these five fiends also stole all of the pages of the Thievius Raccoonus. Fast forward a few years later, after Sly has met his pals Murray, the clumsy but brave hippo and Bentley, the worrywart, geeky turtle and now you have the present time of the game!

While Sly adventures, he will have the aid of tight and intuitive controls, smooth animation, his special cane (which is useful for hooking on to objects and whacking foes) and pages he collects that unlock more moves for him, whether you chose to collect them or not. And what would a thief be without stealth moves? You WILL be making Sly sneak along walls whenever you see a blue aura, which assists you as you progress through the game.

The worlds Sly travels within are very gorgeous to look at. With a combination of cel-shading and cartoony graphics, this game will provide you with plenty of eye candy. Unfortunately, the view is ruined whenever the frame rate drops and strangely, it rarely happens when there are enemies on the screen, nor does it ever really hamper with your game play.

This game is jam-packed with variety. You'll never be bored. Heck, how often do you get extremely entertaining chase scenes on rooftops or with fireworks? Or a unique boss battle that plays like a rhythm game? Speaking of which, the five villains aren't the only folks you must deal with! Being a thief, you're also going to get chased by the police. Namely: Carmelita Fox, who also happens to be Sly's love interest (or so it seems).

The characters, before I forget, have excellent voice acting (most of the time)! They truly set a mood to the game, something that is rare these days! Sucker Punch truly has great taste in voice acting (well, except Carmelita--she sounds a bit overdone sometimes).

So, top all of this goodness off with a $20 price tag and what do you get? A game you should go and get now!
