Sly 2 is one of the greatest stealth platformers ever created. The Sly series in general, while more niche than Jak or R&C, in my opinion it was always better written and the story ranks above them all. Great story, great gameplay, amazing characters. Sly is just awesome.

That fucking commercial is the reason I wanted a PS2 so badly.
@Vakaria-playsАй бұрын
Me too! I didnt even own a PS2 when the commercial was on TV, but i wanted the game for my birthday, my parents had noticed that i no longer wanted PS1 games for my birthday, yet they saw me play the PS1 all the time so they asked me about it, and i told them that there wasnt being produced any more new PS1 games as its an old console (roughly 3 or 4 years since the last PS1 game was made by then). Then they asked me how come i wanted a PS2 game when i didnt have one, and i told them. ''I want to be able to play the game as soon as i have saved up enough money for a PS2!'' luckily for me, the company he works for had gotten a bunch of PS2 consoles at a discount price due to a merger deal having been completed which meant that Sony had send his company a bunch of PS2 consoles for less than half the production price, and so my dad bought got one of those consoles and gave it to me. Thus this game and Dragon ball Z Budokai 1 became the first games i played on the PS2, third game was Star Wars Battlefront 2.

Why do people use God's name in vain? When they themselves do not believe in God?. Because the Bible is true weather you like it or not. The good news is you can have eternal life (which is so coveted it's featured in movies) by believing in the paid in full sacrifice that Jesus paid in your place and my place as sinners. Just believe and repent of your wickedness. Now repentance is not salvation but the evidence of your salvation if you so choose to receive it. God bless.

I’m 31. I absolutely love this game….this whole series has so much love from me. I remember working with my step dad doing a roofing job on one of his apartment houses when I was 11/12 years old. The ONLY thing I wanted was this game….he told me “alright work with me Saturday on that house and then after we’re done I’ll take you to Walmart and get you that game you want” I think the game has only been out for maybe a week at that time. I’ve replayed this series possibly more than any other game series ever that I’ve owned. But this game specifically is so special to me I loved it when I was 11/12 and now at 31 I still love it just as much.

Sly 2 was one of those games I just had to play when I was a kid, and I fell in love with it just like I knew I would. It's always been my favorite game (tied with a few others, because you can't just have one). The fact that this game had 3 playable characters and 8 (eight!) self-contained open worlds is unlike anything we had seen in gaming. The level of immersion found within is remarkable for its time and now. The story, characters, music, visuals and gameplay all stand out, also of a caliber not seen or felt to that point. The charm matched the ambition and you know the folks who made it just loved what they were doing (Sucker Punch is still like a family today and those devs still work there). Nothing beats opening up the Paris level for the first time as the camera pans the skyline and we see Sly sneak crawl to the safehouse in style. It's a beautiful game that's more fun to play today than most modern "games." I'm glad Matty is a real fan and not just covering it to have something retro. Great to see some old school gamers that have fondness and appreciation for the Cooper gang.

I want you to go back onto Sly 2, when you’re on the ground, swing your cane and jump, but press X 3 times, you will do a high jump. Sly, when you hold Square, does the spin attack in Sly 2. The animation of this also grounds you, or essentially places a floor under you. When you hold square and jump, you’ll see a puff of dust come from your feet, this is you being “grounded” allowing for 2 more jumps after the first. Cool little tech used in speedruns of the game, but makes the traversing before having paraglided very fun.

I usually will play through the whole series every other year and sly 2 is always the one I look forward too! it's definitely in my top 3 vgoat. funny enough though, as much I love the series as a whole part of what really made sly 2 stick with me so much as a kid was that I was only able to play the opening heist on a jampack demo disc on repeat for a while until I was able to finally get a copy from my uncle for christmas, my hype was maxed out at that point and the game was everything I was hoping it could be. as fossilized as demo discs are and really demos as a whole now, they helped introduce you to sleeper titles (rise of honor, burnout 3, DefJam NY, etc) that you maybe wouldn't have played otherwise. I really just miss discovering little weird AA games that weren't necessarily indie but also weren't super high budget exclusives either that all had a bunch of small cult followings.

First time I played Sly 2, I was bewildered and put off by the extensive changes made to the game's formula. Where did the horseshoes go? Why don't the enemies die in one hit? How do I deal with the torch bearing guards; they're too OP. Help, I'm scared! Nowadays it is hands down my favourite game in the series. I love the environments and the gameplay (with a few exceptions; looking at the helicopter missions), and I adore the story. The only thing that really holds it back from perfection is the fact that unlike Sly 3 there is no mission replay system, so the only way to experience the story again is to start over from the beginning again.
