Sly Cooper and Thievious Racoonus PS2

Pros: Virtually every aspect is done exceedingly well.

Cons: Kind of short.

The Bottom Line: The sleeper hit of the year, though it deserves more recognition.

Review: 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: Novel story line and slick animated style

Cons: Short. Really Short. Too short about 9 hours

The Bottom Line: If you're tired of the standard platform fare available these days, Sly's your guy. It's nice to see a little innovation in the genre.

Review: 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: beautiful environment and animation. Great sound and graphics. cool moves and addictive gameplay. Great minigames!

Cons: wish it was longer

The Bottom Line: this game is fun for everyone! Great style!

Review: 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

Review: 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, ...

Pros: Old-school platform game meets 3D graphics and works well

Cons: Ends much too quickly, can be frustrating early on

The Bottom Line: Sly Cooper is a delightful platform game that is a must-play, but the short play length keeps it from being a must-buy.

Review: 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

The Bottom Line: This game is almost perfect, but not quite. This would quite easily be a 5 star game if it was longer.

Review: 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.

The Bottom Line: it's a good game that is now on the bargin bin so check it out.

Review: 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.

The Bottom Line: Sly Cooper is an inventive game that's as fun to play as it is beautiful to look at. Do yourself a favor, pick it up.

Review: 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

The Bottom Line: Gorgeous colourful graphics and classic fun gameplay, but NOT original at all with annoying minigames.

Review: 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: fun, especially for little kids and those of us who are like little kids

Cons: garish sounds, cut and paste graphics

The Bottom Line: a fun game for little kids, definitly recommended

Review: 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 ...
