There is a villain called The Paradox who is obsessed with the family history of Sly. This means that Sly needs to go through time trying to stop him. The time travel aspect of the story is great as you go to all kinds of locations such as the ice age and medieval times.
What really makes the story though is the characters. Our three main characters, Sly, Bentley, and Murry have such a great relationship that feels very real and special in this game. Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is best described as a platformer, but it is more of a stealth-based platformer than an action one.
In most cases, you are best at avoiding combat unless it is percent necessary. There are a few sections in the game, most notably boss fights when you have to fight.
The game though, more wants you to sneak around undetected. The levels are huge and once you unlock an area, you are free to come back to it to do more exploring and find cool items. The gameplay is a lot of fun and for the most part, they really nailed it. However, for some crazy reason, they put in motion controls during a few sections.
A couple of camera issues too can hinder things, but neither one of these things is enough to ruin things. Playing as Murry too offers you a different way to go about things. The presentation of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is great. I loved the way that it looked like a movie. It has a kind of DreamWorks style to it and I mean that in a very complimentary way.
The game just has a ton of charm to it, this is especially true in regards to the characters. The game also has some excellent voice acting which once again feels like something that would be in a high-end animated movie. However, this is a game that I had a great deal of fun with. It is one of the more ignored titles for the PlayStation 3 and I highly recommend that you guys give this one a try.
Where most of your concentrated thinking will be focused on. Although the story is expected to be completed within 7 hours, that doesn't stop you from dumping in some more hours with the ability to partake in timed challenges or uncover coins in levels to unlock collectables.
The game is and has been a strong candidate for Speedrunning and it wouldn't surprise me gamers have dumped hundreds of hours into this virtual world. Something to note is that the backstory of Sly is one that influences you to cheer on his journey of revenge.
Sly isn't some archetype Zelda ; he's a racoon that so happens to be a master thief. He even runs a gang of two members, Bentley, the brains, and Murrey, the brawn. You play as Sly that's sets off to seek out 'The Fiendish Five', to reclaim your family book known as 'Thieves Raccoonus', which they stole from your parents right after murdering them!
So yeah, a little deep. Each milestone you reach within the story, you'll engage in a boss fight with one of the Friendish Five and in your victory, you'll acquire a new move! It holds that satisfying Goku progression of powering up your character after the more adversity you face.
However, not every move is all that useful. In fact, it can just become a hindrance, such as slowing down time that holds no combat advantage. The characters' dialogue and animations don't feel stiff; they're smooth with naturally flowing conversation and captured in this film-noir aesthetic; it's got the attributes that give it a cinematic feel.
If you're into story games that offer you a journey filled with dorky humour, lovable characters and a casual platformer stealth game, then pick up this classic and if you grow to love it, then rejoice, for there are four more games in the series that came afterwards! There's a reason PlayStation has branded it as a Greatest Hit on their consoles and gives us a glimpse into when high budget games weren't so grounded with their cliche human action stars and real-life backdrops.
All Sly Cooper wants to do is take back what's rightfully his. See, when Sly was a cub, a group of five master criminals, called the Fiendish Five, descended on the home of his famous thief family and stole the Thievius Raccoonus, a book that contains all the greatest thieving secrets of the Cooper clan. They each ripped a few pages out and went on crime sprees around the world. Now that he's a little older, Sly's set off to the far corners of the globe to get those secrets back and avenge his family in a game more akin to Metal Gear than Mario.
Familiar, right? But this is combined with a binocular view so you can clearly see where you're supposed to go or what you're supposed to do next. In the Readin' Room level, Sly jumps inside a barrel to hide from searchlights and get past motion-sensitive dart guns the darts hit the barrel instead of him. And in most other levels of the game, you must disarm the alarms that can alert enemies to your presence.
Our main character has a professional identity, which is the source of all his adventures. We don't have arbitrary jumping puzzles just for the hell of it. The motivation for all his actions is to act as a thief in an attempt to rip someone off. Well, maybe not all. Some levels about a third of the game, actually deviate from the norm even more to present you with minigame challenges that include racing monster trucks, sniping enemies from afar and an Asteroids -style underwater submarine blast-a-thon.
All this in the name of good overcoming evil, 'cuz Sly wouldn't rob just anyone off the street that'd be too easy. As he says, "Rip off a master criminal and you know you're a master thief. If all we told you about Sly Cooper was that its an action-platform game, whats the first thing that comes to mind?
Hey, we cant blame you. Weve been lulled into thinking thats all the genre has to offer because so many character-based action games follow that same save-the-world concept. Well think again. Sly proves you dont need a damsel in distress, a planet in peril or six different colors of bananas to collect to make a modern action-platformer; its still possible to innovate in this old genre. The first thing that steals your attention in Sly is the games cartoon-like presentation.
Each of the five worlds begins with a Sly-nar-rated animated cinema chronicling the tragic yet hilarious life story of one of a group of villains called the Fiendish Five. The humor is straight outta the Saturday morning toons of old and doesnt end with the cinemas it continues into the game.
