Who Says Sequels Can't Be Better?
User Rating: 10 | Sly 2: Band of Thieves PS2
I am not afraid to say it. This game was the reason I got a PS2. If you hadn't known already, Sly Cooper comes from a long line of master thieves. In the last game, Sly defeated Clockwerk, a robotic owl who killed his father. Sorry for the spoilers if you haven't played the first game, but you can't play this game without giving it away. Anyway, Sly and the gang try to steal the Clockwerk parts, which have been put in a museum. But they found out that a group known as the Klaww Gang have already stolen them. So to stop Clockwerk from being reborn, they head off to steal them back. Unlike the last game, you can also play as Bentley the turtle and Murray the hippo. The characteristics are pretty different. Sly is the cool guy who can climb on ropes and pipes. Bentley is the nerd who has all of the cool gadgets and who plans the heist. Murray the happy but very emotional strong guy who can kill someone in two punches. You'll visit many different places, from Paris to India to Canada. And let's not forget about the last level, the...oops, almost gave it away. All of the missions are somehow connected to the grand heist in the level, whether it's disabling security systems or planting a bug. Although you'll have all three charcters to play as, you'll have the most fun as Sly. You can climb pipes, walk across ropes, sneak on ledges, crawl through air vents, and all that fun stuff. The characters really have a thorough personality, really thought out. This is a must have for your collection.
