It saddens me that this is only the second review I've seen on the internet so far. The Sly series is truly underrated.
How many additional playable characters are there? Apart from the main 4 (Sly, Bently, Murray and Carmelita).
Are they playable in any time period after you do the one that they're in? And how's the ending?Lucane said:5. They're Sly's ancestors from each time period you visit. Though none of them are Henriette "One-Eyed" Cooper Pirate/Thief Ancestor. Though they mention her again in one of the jobs.
The ending is... well. Let's just say this isn't the last adventure for the Cooper gang. And if it is, I'll be mad. Also, there's a secret ending. But I haven't seen it yet, so I can't make a comment on it.FFP2 said:Are they playable in any time period after you do the one that they're in? And how's the ending?Lucane said:5.

WHAT. I had no idea that was in the game.Lucane said:As a bonus you can see Clockwork in seveal moments threw time standing out of reach at some points in time though always in the full metal body.(I haven't personally seen him in all 5 time periods yet just 2 so far.)
Yes, but only in the "present" or their own time period. The ending? Well I won't spoil anything but it seems they've altered a few story elements touched on and/or made in the Sly 2 and 3. ALso I felt they could of given the final boss a better design style than what he ends up getting.FFP2 said:Are they playable in any time period after you do the one that they're in?

Oh god. I guess i won't be getting this game after all.WMDogma said:Each of the games' levels are set up in a quasi-open world environment,
Rayman Origins (and Legends soon... ish), but I guess you're speciffically referring to 3D platformers, wich there's a serious lack of those... and I miss them :'(Raggedstar said:Other than Mario and Sonic, the only new AAA 3D platformers I can think of to come out since 2010 were games like Epic Mickey (1 and 2) and 2 stumbling Ratchet and Clanks.
Ya, meant more 3D platformers than 2D. More AAA 2D would be good too (like the Rayman Origins/Legends, which I'm super-dooper excited for), but at least the indies have had a lot of good work. 3D platformers are more complicated and costly to get right, so not many indies have done a lot with the genre. So ya, serious lack of them indeed.SupahGamuh said:Rayman Origins (and Legends soon... ish), but I guess you're speciffically referring to 3D platformers, wich there's a serious lack of those... and I miss them :'(Raggedstar said:Other than Mario and Sonic, the only new AAA 3D platformers I can think of to come out since 2010 were games like Epic Mickey (1 and 2) and 2 stumbling Ratchet and Clanks.
I only saw him once in Medieval England sitting upon a clock tower. I spent a good five minutes staring him down.

1. I'll agree that it's a little more wacky than the other three, but in this day and age I think that's the point. Personally I think there's a bit too much seriousness in gaming... especially where it doesn't belong (looking at you, Jak). I actually have more respect for Sanzaru that they went 'Sly is cartoon animal Lupin III, and we refuse to darken the mood for the mainstream, you will take your sugary humor and you will LIKE IT'.Dreadman75 said:I just recently played through and Plantinum'd this game and I have to say...not a bad first effort Sanzaru.
I do have a few gripes though:
1. The characters and the general mood of the whole game seems more lighthearted than the premise would suggest. In the first three games there were still jokes, sarcastic comments, and good ol' tough guy talk but here the game just seems overly saturated with it.
For all the...cartooniness of the first three games there was also a seriousness the balanced it out really well. Sly was plenty funny but he knew when the to make jokes and when to be serious. In this game it seems that, with a few exceptions, he's not taking it very seriously at all.
Maybe I'm wrong, I haven't played the original 3 in a while and haven't gotten the Sly HD collection yet, but something just seems...off about this game compared to it's predecessors.
2. The villains don't seem all that threatening compared to the ones of previous games.
Even Le Paradox, the main baddie, just seems like a step down from guys like Clockwerk and Doctor M. But like before that may be just me.
3. The game feels kinda short and rushed at points. And the difficulty seems a tad easy.
But despite these minor complaints, I liked the game. I think it was a pretty decent first effort by Sanzaru, and I really hope that if/when there's a sequel these points get addressed. If they do then I think the next game will be a truly incredible experience.
