Advantages: atleast 30 Hours of gameplay

Disadvantages: more 3D levels would have been good

Sly 3 is the third and final instalment of the Sly Racoon series on the PS2. There have been rumours of a new PSP title but nothing has come of this which is a grave shame

I have been a massive fan of the Sly series since the 1st title and it has been a fun roller coaster ride watching each game improve as time goes by.

Sly games can be best described as platform,puzzle adventure titles. With lots of jumping and destroying also with alot of puzzles to solve and special items to collect in your missions.
The Sly series fits in nicely with other PS2 classics such as Jak and Daxter and Ratchet and Clank



Here is some background on this title :


This entire game is played through the memory of Sly, so the end of the game actually takes place in the present. Your memories place you in the mission to take control of Kaine Island and to try and gain access to the Cooper vault.

The aim of the game is to break the Cooper vault that is heavily guarded and this requires you to recruit new members along the way to help you achieve this!

Throughout all 3 titles Sly has 2 other companions that form the Cooper gang and they are both present in this Anime adventure. They are Bentley the turtle and Murray the hippo. Both armed with there own specific skills and abilities in the game.



Graphics


This game is based in 2D but also comes with 3D glasses to give a whole new spin on the look in certain 3D areas and unlockable bonus stages. This is a great fun feature and i have never seen this before in a video game on the PS2

The graphics are beautiful cartoon style and run smoothly in the action packed Worlds.



Sound :


This title has very good voice acting throughout all the cut scenes and in the actual gameplay.
Also the set pieces are fantastic and add great atmosphere to the levels.



Conclusion


I LOVE this title and would suggest that any platform / puzzle adventure fan pick this up, not just this part but all 3. They are great additions to have in your collection and have gone down in price also.

There is also great replay value with this title with a new multiplayer mode levels along with new challenges to open up bonus material throughout the game.

Summary: a great ending to a fantastic Trilogy
