Which sly cooper is the best

Within a couple days I beat the first game and became incredibly invested in the series, as well as the main character who, thankfully, did not awaken anything within me.

The Sly games became my favorite platformers, ones that altered my perception of what this type of game could be. In most mascot platformers, you traverse around a level collecting items in order to have enough of something to unlock another level, ultimately working your way up to the Big Bad. You plan out missions through reminiscent conversations reminiscent of Metal Gear Solid with your co-conspirators Bentley and Murray, and continue to speak with them every step of the way, as new obstacles emerge and require quick thinking and even quicker getaways.

Together, the three of you travel to real-world locations, exchange witty banter, plan heists and—ultimately—save the world, making the overall experience more narrative heavy and consequently alive.

Whereas I would never claim Sly Cooper is doing as heavy lifting as many other games when it comes to topics like relationships or morality, it was the first time I saw it happening within that genre, and it continues to mean so much to me that the series knew kids were smart enough to engage with these topics and, more importantly, were wanting to.

Yet, a score of 75 is still cataloged as generally favorable overall on the respected site. And, having a low point in the '70s speaks for itself. Due to these levels, players received a pair of 3D glasses along with their purchase. Optional content aside, Sly 3 features Sly discovering his family's wealth locked away in a vault on an isolated island. Sly slowly gets the gang back together to defeat the big bad, Mr.

M, and open the family vault. Despite holding the third-best score in the franchise, Sly 3 garnered a modest 83 as an overall result. Receiving the 83 overall leaves reviewers on the site with generally favorable takes. Sly 3 is regarded as the game with the most content as it contains the 3D levels mentioned above, multiplayer mini-games , and completely new gameplay styles never before seen in the franchise up to this point.

Sly Cooper's debut came in with the franchise's first title, Sly Cooper, and the Thievius Racconus on Playstation 2. The Thievius Racconus is an ancient familial Cooper text used to guide upcoming thieves to learn and improve their skills. The adventure again was incredible, like any other installment, but unfortunately, there was no fifth release. There was a small fight to get the familiar raccoon back on platforms again, but game developer Sanzaru Games claimed there would be no more signs of Cooper after Thieves in Time.

Players will have a blast controlling the familiar trio and new faces like Penelope, a tech expert, the Guru, a wildman who has taught Murray how to find inner peace, and the Panda King, who was one of the antagonists of the original game. All the fun aspects of stealing coins, jumping, scaling over walls and wires, and escaping from dangerous foes are included in this installment.

Although there were new characters and locations, the experience seemed like another copy of Band of Thieves. Sure, new characters were introduced, the classic animated humor returned, and beating up bad guys in ridiculous fashion stayed consistent, but it was something old at this point.

The series giving its predecessor that much more credit for being the best in the series. Overall, the game delivers on everything that made the original so much fun to play. The story is also considered one of the best in the series, if not the genre. Would definitely recommend a play through for fans of the genre and newcomers alike. The third instalment in the Sly franchise breaks away from the tried and tested formula that made the previous game so successful. But as variety is the spice of life, this is a welcome departure and adds a level of depth rarely seen in the genre.

With Bentley being injured and confined to a wheelchair, Murray blames himself and has left the gang. The focus shifts to a roster of seven characters in total and while this is still a Sly Cooper game, the contribution of the other playable characters certainly adds to the replay value. Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves does enjoy its variety, but keeps it up in short bursts as not to become too repetitive. The sheer number of playable characters, while welcomed by some may be off-putting to others.

It can be argued that this new gameplay element distracts from the joys of playing as Sly and that a minimalist approach is preferred.
