Sly Cooper and Thievious Racoonus for PlayStation 2

Pros: Virtually every aspect is done exceedingly well.
Cons: Kind of short.

Last year, I took a risk on a little known Sony PlayStation2 title called ICO. In retrospect, it was probably some of the best gaming dollars I spent the entire year. Though rather short and simplistic, every implemented detail of ICO exuded polish and...

Pros: Old-school platform game meets 3D graphics and works well
Cons: Ends much too quickly, can be frustrating early on

It's no real secret that Sony's been searching for a mascot for the PlayStation 2 for quite a while. Crash Bandicoot filled that role on the PlayStation's last incarnation, but with Crash's expansion to all of the current platforms (added to the fact...

Pros: Excellent gameplay, tons of humor
Cons: Way too short

My husband and I recently played through Sly Cooper and I liked it a lot even though I had never heard of the game before renting it. I had this review almost written for a long time but I never got around to putting it up.

The full title...

Pros: it's a great solid platformer
Cons: once it's done it's done.

I got Sly Cooper and the Thievious Raccoonus when I saw it in the bargain bin at Wal-Mart. I decided to buy it because I heard it was supposed to be a good platformer. So are Crash and Spyro and while there not bad games there not great either. But when ...

Pros: Beautiful cel-shaded characters, inventive storyline, likable characters.
Cons: The mini-games are worthless, play is a little short.

INTRO or, A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A MASTER THIEF

Today I have to, sadly, take Sly Cooper and the Thievious Racoonus back to the video store. It makes me a little misty eyed to have to say goodbye to the little fellow, we've had...

Pros: Gorgeous colourful graphics, classic gameplay, a gripping CHARM to it
Cons: ZERO originality, mini-games sometimes annoying

Remember Crash Bandicoot? The, ahem, 'lovable' furry bandicoot that clumsily managed to save the world in his series of 3D platforming, simultaeneously almost becoming the much-needed 'mascot' for the PSOne? He was set to become the new Sonic -...

Pros: Novel story line and slick animated style
Cons: Short. Really Short. Too short about 9 hours

Sly Cooper and The Thievious Raccoonus was one of two games from Sony Computer Entertainment America that completely blindsided us at E3 (Ratchet & Clank being the other). The single level on display at their booth was classy, slick and very fun to just...

Pros: fun, especially for little kids and those of us who are like little kids
Cons: garish sounds, cut and paste graphics

Video Game Review: Sly Cooper and the Thievius Racoonus (PS2) Sly Cooper and the Thievius Racoonus Is about a racoon named Sly, who is descended from a long line of master thieves, the Coopers. When Sly was a little racoon, a band of thieves ...

Pros: Great gameplay, nice graphics.
Cons: It's a platformer. A little too easy. Some control glitches.

Sly Cooper is the main character in this 3D platformer game. He's a toon-rendered fox, and he's you. Or you're him. Either way, it's played in third-person perspective - ie. the camera follows you around so you can always see yourself on-screen. The...

Pros: beautiful environment and animation. Great sound and graphics. cool moves and addictive gameplay. Great minigames!
Cons: wish it was longer

Best run and jump game ever.

You will have such a good time playing this great PS2 game that you may explode! You need to try this one! You play Sly Cooper, a raccoon master thief who must recover the lost pages of his family heirloom, the...

Pros: Great graphics and sound, slick moves, great platform action
Cons: It can be quite frustrating at times

I just picked up this game recently, and I have to say, it rocks! Now that it's a "Greatest Hits" title and costs under $20 it's an especially good bargain, a great stocking stuffer for any old-school gamer.

It has the look and feel of a cartoon, which young ones will like, and it is challenging enough to provide many hours of game play for adults as well. It can be frustrating, as some levels are quite difficult, but it's rewarding nonetheless. My wife even enjoys watching me play this one :) It's a really cute game, definitely the best PS2 platformer I have played. Fans of Super Mario Sunshine will especially enjoy this one.

I’ve had such a great time playing this game, I had to write a review. If you want to have a good time playing a great PS2 game, you need to try this one! You play Sly Cooper, a raccoon master thief who must recover the lost pages of his family heirloom, the Theivus Racoonus. When you recover each part, you learn new moves. The game is a lot of fun. The gameplay is kind of like Metal Gear Solid, only as a cartoon. It is so fun. Okay, I know it looks like a lot of other games out there, but it’s not! It is truly a unique platform game. It’s immersing! The animation is so smooth; it sometimes doesn’t even feel like a game, but some movie! Play this game. You will love it!

Racoon Thief is on the loose!! I just bought this game yesterday and stoked on it! This is such a outstanding game entirely. Its so much fun running, jumping, stealing, and killing your enemies but you must take caution, your enemies are smart and could kill you fried chicken. This is a must have for PS2.
