Amazon.co.uk Review
With the welcome return of Sly Cooper and company, PlayStation 2 gamers are once again treated to an exemplary action adventure that happily reaches the highs of the first game. And what's more, Sly 2: Band of Thieves has a fair few new tricks up its sleeve too.

This time round, the task in hand is to locate the remains of boo-hiss baddie Clockwerk, which naturally enough have gone missing. This aim subsequently splits the game down into numerous locations, each of which present different challenges to Sly and his team. And thanks to a winning marriage of stealth, platforming action and puzzle solving, the challenges are hard not to enjoy.

What really adds to the fun is the game's wonderful style. Borrowing clichés liberally from lots of heist movies, there's a charming tongue-in-cheek approach to Sly 2. Furthermore, it's also adopted a free-roaming mission structure that allows you to tackle its elements in the order you prefer. This certainly gets round the problem of frustratingly getting stuck in certain areas--now you can go off elsewhere and make progress, and come back to the tricky bits later.

With clever level design, a fair dollop of suspense and some genuinely engrossing gameplay, Sly 2: Band of Thieves is ultimately a very successful sequel. Whilst admittedly not straying too far from the winning formula of the original, it nonetheless presents interesting new challenges, a fair few new ideas and a whole heap of entertainment. Can't really say fairer than that.--Simon Brew

Customer Reviews

fantastic
I only bought a playstation so i could play Sly cooper and let me tell you it was wroth it. The first game wasn't that exciting and it was annoying becuase you died if you got hit once so i was a bit worried when i bought the second one. But i shouldn't have been because it was amazing the graphics were great and i loved the way it was like a cartoon. It's got a great story line and there are some really funny parts.
So i would say definatley buy this game becuase you'll regret it if you don't.

Sly 2 the best game EVER!!!
I have just recieved this game for Christmas and am already on the last level. Altogether there are 8 levels each set in different countries including Eygpt,France and a few more. You can play as all 3 players in each country. Sly is a racoon(as you probably know),Bently and Murray the pink hippo. The point of the game is to collect all the Clockwork parts from the KLAWW gang including the Clockwork tail featers,the Clockwork eyes and lots more. I would have given it 5 stars if it wern't for Bently's hacking sections they are the most annoying part of the game.

Super Sly!
Sadly, I've not got the first Sly (but I hope to soon!), but this has to be one of my favourite ps2 games. I think the graphics are excellent and no matter what age you are you'll love it! Younger children will like the cute characters and exploring the exciting cities they vist, but older children and adults will get even more from the game, such as the abilities of sly and the gang and the challanges thrown at the players! You must find all the clockwork parts by coming up with clever schemes and use the best of your abilites to beat the KLAWW gang. You won't be disappointed with this buy!
