It’s been nearly eight years since the last Sly Cooper game was released and I have to say, Thieves in Time was worth the wait.
Before I talk about the game, I want to briefly state my opinions on the first three games. Sly Cooper and Thievius Raccoonus was a fine 3D platformer. It reminded me of Crash Bandicoot a bit, but it can be frustrating at times. Sly 2: Band of Thieves was an improvement. It was much more nonlinear and it was a lot of fun. It also introduced Bentley and Murray as playable characters and each one has their own benefits (Murray for combat and Bentley for demolition). It’s too bad you can’t replay missions, though. Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves was my favorite game in the series, and the game that introduced me to Sly Cooper. I didn’t own the game back then, but I got a lot of nostalgia with that game. I enjoyed the variety in the game, like the new playable characters, bi-plane duels, and pirate ship battles. It also had a pretty engaging story.
