Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus

Sly Cooper and the Thievius Racoonus 8 out of 10



Sly is a great game... considering the time it was made. The game was made in 2002. If you compared it to the games today it would be horrible, 4 out of 10. I can't do that though because that would be extremely unfair. It doesn't have great animation. It is definitely more of a children's game. It has a very simple minded game play. Just sneak around and knock out the guards to get a key to unlock something important. I think the animators were a little to lock and key based.

Sly obviously only has a campaign. The campaign is great though. A good amount of hours are put into it which is a relief. The campaign consist of sly trying to steal back his family's guide to becoming a great thief. The guide was stolen by 5 people. So the story line is sly is trying to steal back the pages with his friends. You obviously travel to there terrain and then steal a few minor things. Finally you face a boss in which he gets really strong and you run away for a bit and then he runs out of energy and then you try to deal damage to them. Its repetition. Its a really simple game. For me the controls are some what difficult but that's because I'm used to first person. The controls are fairly simple though. The only bad thing is the age and how much the game repeats itself. Also some of the levels and boss battles can be extremely frustrating. I really think its a pretty good game. It definitely doesn't have the game modes to compare to the modern games. The Campaign I think would really do great against modern campaign in a judging. So here is the rundown.
Pros
-Great Campaign
-Kid Friendly
-Just all around Fun
-Great for the time period it made

Cons
-A lot of repetition
-Frustrating
