You got me cracking with the "Buy this game legally with money or stealth. But I love this game myself too! I still play each game in the series, but this one is my most favorite. I'll put my favorites in order. Sly 2: Band of Theives, Sly Cooper: Theives in Time, Sly Cooper and the Theivius Racoonus, and Sly 3: Honor Among Theives
Easily the best game in the series. It does everything the first game did well while adding more depth to the gameplay by fleshing out the stealth and combat elements. It adds some other game modes that are fun but not as much fun as playing as sly, but unlike say Sonic the Hedgehg's 3-D games, the game is balanced enough so that you play as sly the most and that you only play as Bently and Murry enough to keep sly's gameplay from getting stale.
actually Derek the character models are the same from the ps2 versions in all 3 sly games on the collection. all 3 sly games were enhanced with 60 frames per second, widescreen, 720p and 4x anti aliasing (so it's WAY more crisp) but the core graphics remain the same :)
I like the Sly Cooper series. This game is no exception. +Unique Gameplay combining both stealth & platforming. + Dozen hour campaign and rarely got bored + Exciting and varied missions. + Good story - Enemy A.I. Can be stupid at times. Overrall 9.5/10 A damn good game.
i have number 2 and 3 and i love them. i wish you could play the missions after you beat the game from the menu, where u pick a mission, too bad they left that out
I feel like the only one that likes sly cooper 1 as the best in the series. Like Danny says, "Sly dosent need all these fancy new gimmick innovations added to his game, hes to good for that". Sly cooper 1 almost felt like crash bandicoot in a way and i used to call it, "Sly Bandicoot." Nothing can top the first game and suprisingly might be my most favorite platformer game of all time! Those time trials in the first one also really test your platforming skillz! :) Who else thinks Sly Cooper 1 is the best Am i Really the only 1? Did suckerpunch REALLY need to switch the formula from the first game into 3 exploration mediocre sneaky games? (btw, 4rth sly cooper is my second favorite because i thought it was cool you could play as sly's ancestors)
This game was one of the reasons I bought a PS2 and why I finally bought a PS3 last year. I haven't played it for PS3 yet though because I was too busy playing Bulletstorm and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit on Xbox 360.
Jeez, I heard a lot of "Ratchet and Clank", and "Jak and Daxter", but no Sly. If you want to compliment those games, wait for CGR to review those games. Until then, go Sly Cooper! You rock!
i am really intrested in buying this collection. I love all these cartooish exploration platformers. Anyone know of these can a candle to the GIANTS in the genre, as banjo-kazooie & tooie, mario 64, sunshine and galaxy and ofc jak and daxter?
Maybe not so much in a purely platforming aspect, as some of those are better if you're looking for purely platforming. However, the mix of platforming, stealth, missions, story, and gameplay variety the Sly series is where it's at. The 2nd and 3rd titles especially as they take on more of a sandbox kind of game (well, moving sandbox to different locations) that make them especially memorable, personally.
Man I hope sucker punch will make this kind of game again after infamous, I miss that good old plattform stealth action that the 4:th one didn't pull of quite as well as the originals, if anything they could maybe try and mix the two series, stealth and superpowers maybe throw in some nice brawling in there and multiple characters that specialize in these styles and you have a top notch RPG on your hands with good old sucker punch platforming. fuck I get hyped by the concept alone. I dunno does this sound like a good idea?
FINALLY!!! Someone who actually thinks the way I do about this game. Also, why does nobody ever mention the fact that this game has 2 ice levels, and 2 Halloween levels RIGHT after each other! Also, is it just me or does this game have colors that look a lot more faded then the first one?
@duderme If they did anything NEXT, They need to do the Ratchet Trilogy and Jak Trilogy (But they would only include Ratchet and Jak 1-3 cause the 4th Titles are Spin Offs, However Gladiator is less of a Spin off compared to Jak X so yeah xD)
I owned Sly 1 and 2. I Don't know much about Sly 3. I liked Sly 2 more than 1 because of the longer story, the gameplay and the open world, but I liked Sly 1's ability to replay beaten levels. In Sly 2, you could not replay beaten levels. in Sly 1 you could. That was Sly 2's largest flaw in my opinion. But could you replay levels in Sly 3? I just hope yo can in Sly 4 Thieves in Time.
This game had such a good story. Everything comes together in the end. And even aside from that, the ending is amazing. Jak & Daxter and Ratchet & Clank are cool but they have no story.
Agreed about the levels. The only one of those levels I actually liked was the first ice level, because it was a great open-world (no maze-like design) and a nice depiction of Canada. But still, Sly 2 is my least favourite Sly game. Makes me so frustrated.
@IgorSacara1 I was always a Ratchet and Clank guy, myself, I consider Jak and Daxter to be second best, with Sly close behind. Strangely enough, I played the Sly games the most out of all of them.
@IgorSacara1 I used to think that but when I am playing this today I think it is way better, not saying that Jak and Daxter is not an AWESOME game though
@SlyTF1 Sly 1 was awesome and you despise it because you only die with one hit and three hits if you have horse shoes, which is a challenge that you couldn't handle for long.
Till the casket DROPS dude. I'm moving in with my girl soon aaaand.......I know i'm gonna have to cut back on the gaming....which is gonna fucking SUUUUUUUCK :( But she knows im a gaming head so hopefully she wont be evil and allow me some sort of rock time.
I'm surprised and extremely happy to find out that this game got seven 10/10's and is Sucker Punch's highest rated game.
You got me cracking with the "Buy this game legally with money or stealth. But I love this game myself too! I still play each game in the series, but this one is my most favorite. I'll put my favorites in order. Sly 2: Band of Theives, Sly Cooper: Theives in Time, Sly Cooper and the Theivius Racoonus, and Sly 3: Honor Among Theives
I loved this game almost too much! :)
Thx for the memories CGR
Easily the best game in the series. It does everything the first game did well while adding more depth to the gameplay by fleshing out the stealth and combat elements.

@RJTamm93 it is really fun to see how many of the gameplay mechanics from the Sly games evolved into the inFamous series.
actually Derek the character models are the same from the ps2 versions in all 3 sly games on the collection.
all 3 sly games were enhanced with 60 frames per second, widescreen, 720p and 4x anti aliasing (so it's WAY more crisp) but the core graphics remain the same :)
Definitially gonna buy the sly collection! This, spyro, lego island 2, and bomber island were the games of my childhood...
This review was GREASY SWEET
I like the Sly Cooper series. This game is no exception.
+Unique Gameplay combining both stealth & platforming.
+ Dozen hour campaign and rarely got bored
+ Exciting and varied missions.
+ Good story
- Enemy A.I. Can be stupid at times.
Overrall 9.5/10 A damn good game.
i have number 2 and 3 and i love them. i wish you could play the missions after you beat the game from the menu, where u pick a mission, too bad they left that out
when my sister got me the complete collection this christmas i almost cried from joy
The ice world was fun to ride down with the stealth slide
@IgorSacara1 AGREED!
I'm starting to like you more because of these reviews. Review those golden games, I'm talking about Jak and Daxter!
I feel like the only one that likes sly cooper 1 as the best in the
series. Like Danny says, "Sly dosent need all these fancy new gimmick
innovations added to his game, hes to good for that". Sly cooper 1
almost felt like crash bandicoot in a way and i used to call it, "Sly
Bandicoot." Nothing can top the first game and suprisingly might be my
most favorite platformer game of all time! Those time trials in the
first one also really test your platforming skillz! :) Who else thinks

need to switch the formula from the first game into 3 exploration
mediocre sneaky games? (btw, 4rth sly cooper is my second favorite
because i thought it was cool you could play as sly's ancestors)
I think the 1st one is the best also
What do you use the money for?
This game was one of the reasons I bought a PS2 and why I finally bought a PS3 last year. I haven't played it for PS3 yet though because I was too busy playing Bulletstorm and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit on Xbox 360.

these are some of my favorite games in the world
whoa there Derek! are you saying we should steal this game?
Man I hope sucker punch will make this kind of game again after infamous, I miss that good old plattform stealth action that the 4:th one didn't pull of quite as well as the originals, if anything they could maybe try and mix the two series, stealth and superpowers maybe throw in some nice brawling in there and multiple characters that specialize in these styles and you have a top notch RPG on your hands with good old sucker punch platforming.
fuck I get hyped by the concept alone.
I dunno does this sound like a good idea?
fuck yeah
@pokemonizkooolio
How many games have you played? 2?
@duderme How about a Crash Bandicoot Collection with Crashes 1-3?
Does the remake come with swedish
one of my favorite games of all time
@frostache i would get the ps2 over the ps3 because of the novelty of it and because im a weirdo that prefers older stuff to newer stuff
@GradientGhoul I am 22 and have just finished 1 and started part 2!
Nice! Then I can't wait to finish the first game in the collection.
FINALLY!!! Someone who actually thinks the way I do about this game. Also, why does nobody ever mention the fact that this game has 2 ice levels, and 2 Halloween levels RIGHT after each other! Also, is it just me or does this game have colors that look a lot more faded then the first one?
"Obtain" Sly 2 band of thieves. By any means necessary. Well done review.
@frostache i would have got the ps2 if i were you because i like old stuff but its probably a smarter idea to get the ps3
@flamingivankid Sly 2 was ok, but I thought there were WAY too many pickpocketing missions.
whats better sly 2 or 3?
@Wol1427 Yeah, basically. 1 hit deaths piss me the hell off.
my problem is, coming from jak 2/3 too sly 2 it is actually frightening easily..
I feel the same way! I think that ice world was the best one! It seems like I was the only one who didn't like the change from the first to second!
I have the original 3 games on ps2 and Im thinking of getting the collection for ps3
@duderme If they did anything NEXT, They need to do the Ratchet Trilogy and Jak Trilogy (But they would only include Ratchet and Jak 1-3 cause the 4th Titles are Spin Offs, However Gladiator is less of a Spin off compared to Jak X so yeah xD)
I really enjoyed this game. A great series with stellar platforming and and rewarding stealth aspects.
Undeniably the BEST game on the PS2 and maybe PS3
@RJTamm93 Even there N64 game?
I owned Sly 1 and 2. I Don't know much about Sly 3. I liked Sly 2 more than 1 because of the longer story, the gameplay and the open world, but I liked Sly 1's ability to replay beaten levels. In Sly 2, you could not replay beaten levels. in Sly 1 you could. That was Sly 2's largest flaw in my opinion. But could you replay levels in Sly 3? I just hope yo can in Sly 4 Thieves in Time.
Best Sly game, period. Here's hoping Sly Cooper Thieves in Time can top it.
Haha that's funny. I wasn't trying to offend the guy. I didn't intend for it to sound like that.
This game had such a good story. Everything comes together in the end. And even aside from that, the ending is amazing. Jak & Daxter and Ratchet & Clank are cool but they have no story.
YES! SLY 2, FINALLY! :D
Sly 3 now, Derek!
Can't handle the nostalgia
The relation ship of sly and that fox cop girl is sorta like inuyasha and kagome.
Best game in the trilogy! Although, all three games are excellent.
ya but i liked secret agent clank and size matters but i dont have a psp
@frostache play the original 3 on the ps2 they are some of the best games you will ever play
WHY DO YOU GUYS ALWAYS SHOW THE FIRST 15 MINS OF THE GAME
Agreed about the levels. The only one of those levels I actually liked was the first ice level, because it was a great open-world (no maze-like design) and a nice depiction of Canada. But still, Sly 2 is my least favourite Sly game. Makes me so frustrated.
always played this when i was younger with a friend, best game ogf my childhood... To bad i have an xbox 360 now but this is the best game
I love pretty much everything Suckerpunch has done. Check out infamous on PS3 undertow.
my favorite game of all time
sly 2 and sly 3 are the best IMO.
Correction. Best trilogy ever made. Period
wait. Sucker Punch made this. As in the same Sucker Punch that made inFamous, which is my favorite game. WOO-HOO
hmmm i think im gonna pick this up
@IgorSacara1 I was always a Ratchet and Clank guy, myself, I consider Jak and Daxter to be second best, with Sly close behind. Strangely enough, I played the Sly games the most out of all of them.
oh and its actually hard too lose on sly 2. you jump and hit circle...
Thumbs up if you want the soundtrack released.
He didn't mention the story so i will just say this... It has an amazing story! :D
The should be a Ratchet and Clank Collection for the PS3
@IgorSacara1 I used to think that but when I am playing this today I think it is way better, not saying that Jak and Daxter is not an AWESOME game though
كم سعر هاذأ الشريط ودي اشترية
jak and daxter all the way that was the best game i have ever played ever.
@BigBossMan538 ffs
Ps store
why will sony remake a ps1 game?
Sly 2 is still the best video game ever made
@IgorSacara1 only if daxter didnt have a shrill voice
@SlyTF1 Sly 1 was awesome and you despise it because you only die with one hit and three hits if you have horse shoes, which is a challenge that you couldn't handle for long.
No. Not best game ever, but definitely the best in the Sly series!
I would say Crash Bandicoot ≥ Ratchet and Clank > Sly Cooper > Jak and Daxter > Spyro
@TheKlugt Haha you are right.
We are all hurling towards the inevitable blackness!
@HelghanGamer sweet
i am such a SC fan that i am buying a ps3 just to be able to play sly cooper 4 :)
Jak and Daxter will always be the best.
One word: Classic!
Sly... nostalgic.
i love the sly games i have all 3
duderme its 6 ps2
Sucker-punch Studios... You should get inFamous for PS3!
I'll only buy it if they leave out those fucking helicopter missions.
lol nice. Yeah this is a beast game. Im 28 now i'll be 29 next month
Nahh, I see it to too! I thought I was alone. LOL!!!
Till the casket DROPS dude. I'm moving in with my girl soon aaaand.......I know i'm gonna have to cut back on the gaming....which is gonna fucking SUUUUUUUCK :( But she knows im a gaming head so hopefully she wont be evil and allow me some sort of rock time.
@addzack11 Thats cuz it wasn't made by NaughtyDog.
C'mon Derek! Ratchet and Clank!!!
I know
@xXSOL1DXx both
@IgorSacara1 No fucking way. Jak & Daxter is like Super Man 64 compared to Sly Cooper.
i regard crash bandicoot series of ps1 as the best platformer, and for ps2 rachet and clacnk
@Quickscop35 He can't help the way he talks.
@anagron63 im 20 and i play the hell out of these games :3
im 14, and i wish i didn't give my copy away :(
wow there are a lot of stielthy viewers just waiting to place a comment
@kakebake1221 Good for you!
@pokemonizkooolio I think Sly 3 is the best.
@xXSOL1DXx Sly 2 :), but sly 3 is awesome too!!
