Game Review - Sly 2
Title:Sly Cooper 2 - Band of Thieves
Genre: 3D Platformer
Platform: PS2
Price Paid: $19.99
Would Pay: $39.99
This is, in one sentence, Ocean's Eleven as imagined by Chuck Jones. Because it's a game about thievery, it's by and large a sneaker. As indicated by my rating, it's still a good game despite my bias against sneakers. Everything has the exaggerated feel of a cartoon, making sneaking fun rather than a chore. Getting caught is seldom an issue, dying doesn't set you back very far. Rather annoyingly though, how much you get set back varies from mission to mission. Some missions set you back to the beginning of the mission, where others would drop you at the end of the previously completed section. There is no way to tell which is going to happen until you die.
This is one of those games that shows the rating is irrelevant to how fun the game is. It is an E (with one minor slip-up). It looks like a cartoon (even more so and is more "classic cartoon" than Zelda), but certainly should not be tossed aside by the discerning adult gamer.

It's difficult for me to do PC gaming now, so I haven't gone back in years.
