Sly 2 makes improvement on Sly 1

Sly 2 is a pretty good artistic acheivement, especially with the limited PS2 hardware. The comic book style cutscenes are awesome, and the level designs are large and well designed. In Sly 2, you can now play as Sly, Bentley, and Murray. Playing as Sly is extremely fun and fast paced. Jumping from pipe to pipe, sliding down roofs, and collecting items along the way is very addicitve. No offense to the two sidekicks, but field work with Bentley and Murray isn't as fun as playing with Sly. Murray's strength is good for a change of pace once in a while, but playing as Bentley is just a hassle. The game also adds some stealth elements. You can now pickpocket guards, then sell the loot to buy special moves from "ThiefNet". Sly can also use a auto-kill move if you sneak up behind a guard. Overall, Sly 2 greatly improves on the first Sly. This is a must-buy for all PS2 owners.
