New Review Posted: Sly 2: Band of Thieves

[Daniel Weissenberger]

Jason Karney plays Sly 2: Band of Theives, and has a life-changing experience:

"I've never pondered what life might be like if I were a dashing thief: stealing both rare art and hearts, scampering about the thieves' private highway (i.e., rooftops and sewers), and being master of both my trade and my domain. That is, I've never pondered those things until the debut of Sly 2: Band of Thieves. A sequel to Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, Sly and his intrepid gang are back in business. This time, it's personal: the Klaww Gang has acquired the robotic parts of the Cooper clan's former nemesis, Clockwerk. Having bagged Clockwerk in the first game, Sly is determined to see that the evil avian stays out of commission. With the help of brainy turtle Bentley and brawny hippo Murray, Sly is set to perform modern-day Robin Hood antics and reclaim Clockwerk's parts from the vile thugs."

I feel that Sly 2 is less a platformer than it is a modern 3D action-adventure game. The jumping and hopping is more about traversing the environments than testing the player's ability to run and leap.

Jason, you're a right bastard, y'are. You know /exactly/ what to say to make me want to play a game. *Harumph* Maybe I'll start with the first, though, and move on to this second installment, so I can have the whole feel of the game.
