Sly 2: Band of Thieves makes some serious improvements over the first entry into the series making for a very fun experience. In Sly 2 you follow Sy Cooper allow with his pals Murray and Bentley as they do their best to recollect the stolen ClockWerk parts from the Klaww Gang who have stolen them and divided them among themselves, and thats where the story starts off. The story in Sly 2 is much better than the first allowing for some pretty decent plot twists, which was not seen in the first Sly game. Sly 2 also comes back with it signature anime like graphics, which are unique for the genre. I like the level design for the game aswell, each section fo the game is called an episode ( there are 8 episodes in whole) in the episodes you have a safehouse which is like your base of operations for that episode, but outside of your safehouse is more of a sandbox style gameplay type (like Bully) where you go to all your missions that are placed inside the episode, outside of the safehouse (I hope thats easy to understand). Another improvement over the original is the length of the game is much longer, the first Sly took roughly 7 hours to beat, while Sly 2 take roughly 15 hours to beat, which is more than double the first's time. One thing that has stayed the same though is that Sly 2 still has little-to-no replay value, once you've beaten the game that's about it, but it's a great experience while it lasts.
