SLYS VOICE, WOODEN & LIFELESS?!? NOOOO HE'S JUST SMUG AS FUCK. he's not worried about anything, and when he is, he just doesn't go.... full Murray XD

I actually love the horrible mouth and facial animations. Maybe it's my nostalgia talking, but I think it adds a bit of charm.

Funny, I've never heard someone dislike sly's voice like that before. The first game, I understand, but this game I think it improved a lot. He's always been one of my favorite characters, but that may also be due to the writing. I always enjoyed the sarcastic, care Fred dialogue he always had

One of the saddest moment ever was when bentley got put in a wheelchair

Now i can officially die in peace, The Beardman completed my #1 game of all time, Sly 2 Band of Thieves. every 300 hours i plunged into this game was worth it

*"I'LL FLOSS MY TEETH WITH YOUR SPINE"*

Kevin Miller's voice is amazing for sly!! what are you saying it's wooden? it's chill and snarky like it should be! great video tho!

"Show your bling and let me shine you"

Well- we'd forgive him for stealing. He steals from museums and banks rarely, he steals from other thieves because it makes him the best thief.

I finished sly 2 like 5 times with my cousins and we never knew there where codes in this game OMG

"introducing a whole new generation of kids to anime!" "ruining them forever......"

What the shit? I've never heard about the Carmelita video OR the Tom cheat! I've beat this game a dozen times and I never saw them. That's friggin awesome.

This brought me back to the old days

This is the game that inspired me to become a game designer.

I've lost count of how many times I've played this game my all time favorite of the series and top 5 PS2 games

That satisfaction when Jirard does a video on your favorite franchise and gives a "complete it" rating. *happy sigh* man, it feels good.

FINALLY HE IS COMPLETEING A GAME IM INTRESTED IN AGAIN!

That moment with Brett and the cookies freaking killed me XD

I can't wait for Jirard's video on Breath of the Wild. I think he is going to have a lot of fun collecting all 900 Korok Seeds. ;)

Apparently you've been under a rock Jirard cuz Toonami is back, it's been back since 2012. And yes, it's hosted by Tom played once again by the always delightful Steven Jay Blum.

Make one for Sly 3 already! The world needs to know about the Greasy Sweet Remix!

The faces still look better than Mass Effect: Andromeda

It's nice to see other people who are fascinated with this game as much as I am. I've never really talked to anyone who even knows what it is, and to see tons of people calling it their favorite... pretty sweet. While my favorite series goes to Jak and daxter, this one is up there. I will say, however irrelevant this may be, that sly's soundtracks were unmatched.

Dimitri's Club music is still my favorite soundtrack till this day.

Coming back to this gem. Can't believe it's been 5yrs.

Sly only steals from other thieves and bad guys sir and his voice is smooth as butter you maniac

really wish there was a spoiler section so jirard could talk about Bentley more because that was one of the best things about sly 2.

Something that I've noticed after playing this game for years and years and years, is that sly is actually the least helpful character to play as. Sly does have some helpful tactics of stealth and pickpocketing, but once you get to episode 5 and have the hover pack and turnbuckle launch, sly doesn't have the advantage of movement as much. Bentley has his sleep darts to pretty much guarantee a one hit KO on enemies, and Murray can fight entire hordes of enemies with nothing but his fists. This happens even further in Sly 3 when Bentley and Murray can both pickpocket, leaving Sly with only his climbing skills and movement. When you first start using Bentley he is pretty hard to figure out (one of the reasons that I used to always take awhile to beat Ep 3) but once you understand his controls you almost can't die while using him. He has countless bombs that one hit enemies and the health extractor to heal himself anytime you get damaged. The hack missions are also some of the really fun segments of the game that primarily use Bentley to do. The boss fights that use sly are also normally harder to pull off than the ones with other characters. While the heists themselves use all the characters, the boss fights normally (some cases not) do limit to only one character. Dimitri and contessa (mostly Contessa) are definitely harder then some of the bosses that require the other characters. Some of the boss fights also use a character, but don't really focus on their own techniques, like the Jean Bison and Clockwork fights. The Neyla fight (in episode 6) is a fun boss to finish off the episode and to show how Bentley can use his RC chopper to take down bigger targets. The Rajan fight with Murray is also pretty easy with readable easily patterns and some ways to make it so he can't even attack you at all. The gadgets are the main area where sly lacks behind greatly. Sly has gadgets mostly focused on luring and stealth while the others have way more helpful combat gadgets. The shrinking attack and snooze bombs are easy ways for Bentley to take down enemies and the fire attacks that Murray has allow him to absolutely destroy most enemies. The main thing that sly is helpful for (and a lot of the time required for) is collecting all the bottles on each stage. Gadgets like the Paraglide and silent obliteration help you easily reach and secure areas that you might not be able to get to (Atleast not easily) with the other characters. And then you have Episode 8, which kicks your butt no matter what character you use, although normally Murray is best just simply because the guards pretty much always spot you anyway, so may aswell be able to fight them.

This might be extreme nostalgia but I always thought that their was a bunch of life in their facial expressions... they were definitely jerky but in a charming way... also is it just me who loved the voice acting? I thought sly's voice was actually really good

sly cooper 3 is my favorite videogame of all time

Man, I just LOVE when the sequel of a game completely turns the table like that. The way I loved it with Ratchet and Clank 2 Going Commando, and Jak 2 Renegade, so I did with Sly 2 The Band of Thieves. It's so sad that we don't see this happening anymore.

It's so cool seeing my cane in a Completionist video!!!! Thank you so much Jirard! I love all the sly games and I'm glad that you can see that just because a game is "easy" doesn't mean that it's not fun. I think Sly 3 is just as good if not better in some areas. Awesome episode!

We all still waiting for that Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty review.

Brett yelling "get your god damn cookies and pie" is literally my favorite thing that has happened on this show. That's saying a lot, because I friggen love this show.

This is one of my favorite games. I have so many memories from playing it as a kid. Thank you so much for covering it, Jirard!

Jirard, the way you feel about completing this game (a relaxing, carefree, enjoyable break from dark/hardcore) is how I feel about your videos. Keep up the great work!

Left Right Left Right R1 Left

Sly 2. One of my favorite games of all time. Then again, I'd say that for all of the games.

9:54 That was a good "sucker punch" lol.

My mom (and me a little bit) LOVES the Sly Cooper series. It’s amazing.

When Brett screams at you to get Cookies and Pie you get Cookies and Pie

Please do Sly 3 or 4. Enjoying your great content 👍🏻😌!!!!!

TBH after rewatching some of your first episodes then this one.. You guys have came a long way! Keep up the awesome work!

Sly 2 was one of the first games that I've owned, and my first Sly game. To see it being reviewed by one of my favorite reviewers is really cool. Thank you, Jirard!

Now to wait for Sly 3 which IMO is better than 2 cause of the fact that I can replay missions and Murry and Bentley can actually pickpocket in 3

Sly 3 is very similar to Sly 2 but I prefer Sly 3 because I think the areas they go are much more vibrant and the villains are much better too. Only sad thing is they get rid of the bottles from Sly 2 in 3 and I thought it was a great way for you to explore the map.

I enjoyed Sly 2 ever since I discovered the demo in Ratchet and Clank 3, and it became my favorite of the series. Glad you got to this one and am glad you enjoyed it.

Sly Cooper just never gets old for even me.

YES!! Your finally reviewing my fave game of all time. WOOH!!

Oh man! Jarard should re-review this one considering currebt events

I just love these games so much. Replaying every game 100% and they all still held up as good as I remember.

THANK YOU JIRAD you put this game out to eyes who might not have seen this I loved Sly and grew up playing the second one didn't play the first until I was a teenager and I love these games

They still had better facial animations than "Mass Effect: Andromeda"

*EVERYBODY GETCHA GODDAMN COOKIES AND PIE!!*

Your Intro has been getting more and more satisfying as the Seasons go on oh my god i love it

I am glad to see you finally get tot his one, oh Bearded One. I knew you'd enjoy it and I'm glad you saved it until now. With so many hard and demanding games? The Sly Series is a breather. Just the right amount of challenge.

while you're doing PS2 then please for the love of beards play Okami. you won't regret it and if you do then I will complete a game for you

COOKIES AND PIE!!!!

I miss these days so much. You was actually driven to finish games back then and had a blast doing so. Nowadays its 'DLC' this and 'Deluxe version that'.

absolutely one of my favorite jump & runs of all time. This game feels so nice when I was a kid. I still love everything about this game.

cookies and pie, hell yeah.

complete it, calling it now. haven't finished the episode yet

I love the way that this game series handles mature subjects like gangsters and drug dealers and makes it kid friendly.

The sly cooper games were my childhood. They were the path to the gamer I am today. I played so many hours of them and so many playthroughs, it's ridiculous. Some of my favorite games of all time. At one point I could remember the name of every job in the series. I can still describe every guard (and they're variations) for each level in the series. Absolute gem.

4:34 "COOKIES AND PIE!" 😂

Sly 2 is easily the best Playstation first party game ever

As the first game I ever owned, on my first gaming system ever, and as my favorite game of all time, seeing Jirard show this game the love it deserves makes me happy beyond words. I've been playing this game since its release, and even though I'm not the wide-eyed little kid I was back then, I'm glad to say that my enjoyment of this game is one thing I haven't outgrown.

Hoo, boy! Now this is where it's at! I love this game, I didn't even ask for you to do this game, but I'm immensely happy to see it covered. It's such a unique game in comparison to the first. Like where as the first game could pretty much be directly compared to Crash Bandicoot, Sly 2 provides such a unique experience by focusing on the thieving elements, but still keeping what made Sly 1 so fun.

4 minutes ago and 24 comments. None of y'all've seen the full thing yet lol.

Dear god I need sly 5 before my brain dissolves 🥲

Sly 2 is one of my all time favorite games! Great job showcasing everything!

I've logged more hours into the sly series than any other game or series in my 24 years of gaming. This will always be the world's best game series, I'll always have a gamegasm every playthrough. Take my heart sly-sama!

Stealing is bad, mmmkay? But stealing in games is fine.

Please do a persona or shin megami tensei game!

This video made me happy :) I adore this game so much, I feel like the series never got as much notice as it deserved

This is my favorite game of all time, glad you reviewed it. Hope you get to Sly 3 sometime soon.

Sly 2 is better than Sly 1

4:43 into the video for you to actually talk about the game and not go off on tangents about cookies ans stuff? I'm sorry man but alot of your reviews you go off topic super fast I can answer your question about the clockworth parts, because they were in a freaking volcano, not something their group was equip for, they literally stated that they were content witn letting them rest there becase they thought no one would go there. They aren't mugffins they're dangerous pieces of a immortal murder machine. Also sly's a theif of course he'll steal, why do we need to "forgive" his actions when -we- you have played games like last of us and god of war and never questioned their morals I don't get it. you said you played the games but you forgot some crutial things, 1. the parts were at the bottom of a volcano, if your argument is why didn't they get them mine is how did the klaw gang know they were there? How did they get them? If your argument is do we forgive him for stealing mine is. He's stealing from guards of crimials I don't see the problem espeically when they stated the cooper gang steal only from other theives and no evidence otherwise has been proven. And again I feel like I could enjoy your reviews, alot of your points I agree with, I just wish you'd stay on topic, you kinda random go off on jokes that have nothing to do with the subject material and go on too long. (Don't get me wrong I enjoy a good joke; I watch the nostalgia critic but usually their jokes tie into the review but that woman at the end joke it was kinda purposless. Anyway I did enjoy that someone decided to review sly.

THANK YOU for playing this game. This is my #1 game of all time. I probably played this game more than any other game I own combined. It's just so fun to play! Pickpocketing, stealth, platforming... after my first playthrough, I would replay the game without selling loot in ThiftNet. Come back to me when you have pickpocketed 130 Ruby's. And that's just when I stopped to check my item count for the first time. ...and I was 10. I don't have that much time now lol

I love this game so much. It was one of the very first games I completed myself. Glad to see Jirard's finally getting his hands on it!

I'm a little salty that this just got uploaded, and it already has 50X the amount of views my review of this game got, I mean, it's one of my favorite games of all time

This game is one of my absolute favorites and is hands down in my top 3 of replayability for life

This is one of my favorite games of all time, I loved going through all the other ones as well

I love it whenever Animals are part of youtube skits. They have absolutely no idea what's going on and just doing their thing. And that's hilarious.

It's about damn time. Ever since played the hidden demo of this game on Rachet and Clank: Going Commando I always wanted to see what was beyond what gameplay I had. I will never forget the phrase: "Smokey alert, freak out!" Ever. Thanks for completing this game Jirard. Means alot to me.

Love Sly! Love this episode! And of course I love the Completionist! Keep up the great work.

Holy crap, i've been waiting for you to play this! One of my favorite games!

Such a fantastic game! Sly cooper games are pretty great across the board. Good to see him finish the best of the series.

I love seeing videogame reviewers tackling game series and becoming immersed in something they up until now hadn't given much thought. Especially when it's a series that I've been a fan of since the very beginning. I loved the comparison you made between Sly Cooper and Darkwing Duck! I'm genuinely surprised I haven't made the connection before. At the surface, both are seemingly silly kids entertainment starring talking animals. But once you get into either franchise, you uncover a web of surprising depth and characterization, which doesn't shy away from mature themes without losing that light-hearted cartoon charm. The thing is, Darkwing Duck is my all-time favorite cartoon and was pretty much my first superhero. Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, similarly, was my first video game. With each installment, Sly has cemented itself as my all-time favorite gaming series. True, there's no such thing as perfection, but I've enjoyed every main series game, even Sly 4. And with Darkwing Duck set to return for guest appearances in the new Ducktales (Do I smell a reboot?) and Sly potentially getting a cartoon series (which I'm hoping will eventually lead to more game installments), I don't see any reason to ever lose my love for either franchise. If anything, I'm proud and slightly tearful to see things that I enjoyed as a kid live on, proving that these characters have potential to stick around for a long time. Sorry for getting sentimental, you inspired me!

i can’t believe you dislike the voice acting for Sly, I feel like Kevin Miller was perfect for it. Great vid as always

Oh, awesome, I was planning on playing Sly 2 soon, now I can just live vicariously through your review and put it off a few months! I can't say I agree with Sly's voice being lifeless, though, I personally love the delivery in this game. It's far above Sly 1's for me, no comparison!

I never had the patience and the ability to stay focused on a game to complete it until I first started watching this channel 2 years ago. Thank you completionist for making me a fellow completeionist

I love in the first sly game video that you loved the pimp cane so much and that a fan gave you one

YES! ITS OUT WOOOOO! i love this series so much and your videos.

Man feel like we haven't had a complete it rating in forever but this game totally deserves it great review man

Cool you made this - Brings back good memories

I freaking love Brett. He’s so much fun to watch and listen to.

I'll have to admit, that review had recently close the books because I had played a sly game and despite my skills in stealth games, this is no doubt a great review in my opinion.

I love Sly Cooper it makes me so happy to see this.

Respect for the diet and exercise. That way you can be completing games for more and more years to come. Your battle is our entertainment lol
