Great Platformer!!!
User Rating: 9.5 | Sly 2: Band of Thieves PS2
Sly Cooper 1 was a great game so I had to try the sequel. I was not disapointed. Many people talk about the Jak and Ratchet and Clank series but they always seem to leave out Sly. In my opinion this game is better. You have a great cast of characters and some of the missions are pretty difficult. You play a thief named Sly Cooper. He is part of the great thieving family the coopers. They have been thieving for a long time and he had to continue the family tradition. Him and his best friends from when he was an orphen. His friends are Murray(the strength) and Bently (the brains). They all help each other in their missions. At the end of Sly 1 they destroyed the evil Clockwerk. In this sequel the villians have stolen the Clockwerk parts and are planning to put them back together. That is Sly and the gang come in. You have to stop them from putting Clockwerk back togther. You can play as everyone in the gang. The "levels" you go through are great. In graphics they are just plain awesome. They are pretty much intereactive because there is something to do each thing. You can climb on wires and many other things. Also the game itself is great. I love the story! It has many different twists and turns in it making you wnat to play it more and more to see what happens. You meet many colorful characters along the way like Constable Nela and many others. The controls in this game are great. It is cool all the things you can do as Sly. For instance you can walk across edges of buildings and walk on wires. Murray and Bentley also have their own special moves. Murray can pick up crates and throw them and Bently can blow up people on things with bombs. To tell you the truth there is not much bad about this game I can say besides, I wish it was longer. It was a pretty long game but it would have been one of the best games of 2004 if it was longer. Overall Thoughts: I just love this game. There is no way around it. It is hands down one of the best games I have ever played. If you are a fan of platformers you will love Sly 2. It is in my opinion better than Jak and Ratchet. But I guess if platformers are not your thing than you may want to stay aways.
