The Sly Collection - Playstation 3

The Sly Collection is an amazing deal and to me totally worth $60, but I only paid $21. That's around $7 per game! Dang, I got a bargain. However, now it's around 18 bucks, which makes it worth every penny at $6 a game!!The Sly Collection is composed of 3 games: Sly Cooper and the Thievius Racoonus (Sly 1), Sly 2: Band of Thieves, and Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves.All of these games are visually upgraded from their previous versions (to the point it's obvious) and still run amazingly on the PS3 (with very minor glitches sometimes, but only visually and nothing game breaking). Even the sound is clearer! They really put effort into this remaster!!If you have played any of the Sly games before, this collection is still worth it. It brings back so many great memories. I remember in like, 6 years ago, I beat Sly 2 at least 2 times. This was my third time and was I bored at all? Nope. It was as refreshing as the first time around, if not better.Trophies are super easy. You get pretty much all of them for doing the story. Others only include buying things from the computer really (Sly 2&3), and finding all of the clue bottles (Sly 1; 2 only requires it for any one level) as well as cracking all of the safes (Sly 1). However in Sly 3, there are many many challenging challenges in the chapter select menu that you may have to do if you want to 100% the game and earn the trophy.It's seriously, with a good amount of effort, 3 easy Platinums to add to your collection (at least compared to God of War III These things are a cakewalk). I have all 3, so I think I know what I'm talking about. If you get all 3 and go left of the beginning screen (The one that says "Sly Collection") there's a special surprise. I'd rather not spoil it for you, but I will say it is kinda outdated now... (however it being outdated can be a good thing as we don't have to wait for what it's trying to tell us about anymore).The Minigames? I pretty much played them for the trophies... I'd see how they would be kinda fun with friends, but by yourself these things don't supply a lot of entertainment. The trophies are relatively easy, many of them I received on my first try. You need to at least start each game before unlocking all the minigames (ex. "Play Sly 1 to unlock Heli Race") There's a total of 4, with only 1 of them are open from the start.Don't think you had to install these games to your hard drive... just put the disc in, choose the game, and the trophy list magically appears in your trophy collection. You will need hard drive space for the saves of each game though, but that probably won't be a problem.Other small things: Reversible cover, Instruction guide is detailed but in black and white (grey) print, No clue bottles in Sly 3 (use in-game computer to get things), no comment on the 3D but some other guy said it was terrible. Oh yeah, those special moments in Sly 3 where they ask you if you would like to go 3D are taken out since the whole collection is 3D already. Ms. Ruby boss fight does have audio out of sync... but if you pay attention to the symbols you should be fine.Binocucom in Sly 3 doesn't expand completely over the screen... you can see outside of it to the left and right, but I think it's just because they optimized it for widescreen that this happened so no biggie. Amazing games for offline gamers.Thanks for reading.

The Sly Collection features Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, Sly 2: Band of Thieves, and Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves. The Collection takes the three PlayStation 2 classics, remasters them and brings them to the PlayStation 3. The video games are great stories for all ages and are full of humor, action, adventure with some nice themes in and amongst the stories. The series is set in an anthropomorphic universe populated by animals (like Zootopia) and centers around Sly Cooper, an raccoon who is part of a long line of master thieves who steal from criminals due to the challenge and a sense of justice. He is joined by his childhood friends Bently, a turtle and brains of the operations, and Murray, a hippo who serves as the brawn of the team. Together they are the Cooper Gang and embark on various journeys to steal and take down renowned criminals while avoiding capture by Interpol Inspector Carmelita Fox, who Sly is romantically attracted to.Sly Cooper and the Thievius RaccoonusThe first entry in the franchise and the one that remastering is more difficult to do due to the dated graphics. The graphics still look better than the PS2 graphics but they are still dated, but it adds for a nostalgia factor. This game centers around Sly and the gang recovering the pages of the Thievius Raccoonus, the ancient Cooper book that entails skills, abilities and what it means to be a thief, since it was stolen from Sly’s father after a gang of villains known as the Fiendish Five attack Sly’s home and kill his father. Sly embarks on a journey across the globe to take down the Fiendish Five, restore the Thievius Raccoonus and become a master thief. The gameplay is pretty basic and is explained as you go along with plenty of collectibles and extra abilities to obtain along the way. This is a great start to the franchise and can be frustrating sometime due to the rather dated use of lives and collection of coins and such, but it’s a classic and definitely has a nostalgic feel to it, similar to Jak and Daxter, or Crash Bandicoot.Sly 2: Band of ThievesThe next installment centers around Sly and the Gang tracking down the location of the Clockwerk parts. Clockwerk was an ancient foe of the Cooper Clan who is a giant owl who replaced parts of his body with robotic parts as he began to age and die. Sly defeated him in the first game but now the threat re-emerges and threatens the Cooper gang again as the Klaww gang divide up the parts among themselves to use for their own devious purposes. Sly once again embarks on a quest across the globe to put an end to his ancient family enemy before it is too late. This journey will push Sly and the Gang to their limits and things will never be the same again. This game steps away from the classic nature of the first game and opens up vast levels to explore and missions to do with broader steps and plans in mind. The artwork and concept for these vast levels are amazing and detailed and really fit in to the Sly universe.The stealth and abilities are improved for Sly and you can play as Bentley and Murray. Bentley is much more tactical with sleep darts and bombs, Murray is a straight up brawler and can take down anyone. This game definitely improved the series and moves it forward into a new modern feel for the series.Sly 3: Honor Among ThievesThe third installment of the series focuses on the Cooper gang getting back together again after the events of the second game and actually opening their roster for some more interesting figures to join. All of these things are in preparation for the biggest heist yet, the Cooper Vault. The Cooper Vault is where all of the Cooper Clan has stored their wealth and plunder for centuries and now Sly and the Gang are going to reclaim his family’s legacy one final time from the nefarious Dr. M. Loyalties will be tested, lines will be drawn and things will definitely never be the same once again as Cooper prepares for the fight of his life and his last heist……or not? The game is very similar to Sly 2 in many ways, so that is kind of a complaint about the game, it doesn’t improve the formula in Sly 2 by much. There are some new features and mechanics, such as disguises for Sly and Murray is slightly weaker, but the other characters that are invited in to the game add some diversity to the gameplay, when you get to play as them that is.Overall, this collection is great and is a must have for anyone who has played the Sly games before or anyone who wants to relive some of the greatest games on PS2.
