The environments in this game look amazing, they really do.

You didn't mention the other little fan service of Clockwork being hidden in each of the over worlds.

There does need to be a Sly 5, especially with that cliffhanger ending. That's kind of one very big loose end that needs to be addressed. I haven't played Thieves in Time, so I really can't give an opinion on it, but I certainly loved the entire series, and can't wait for the movie coming out.

Old vid, but no one saying anything about the "final boss fight" that was the worst boss fight i have ever played in my entire life.

I know this is now 2019 and maybe no one will see this but if you download the game, you can FIND CLOCKWORK IN ALL OF THE MAP, and I wish there was another sly cooper game

I just wanted to say that I love your videos, especially your reviews of 1990s and 2000s games. They're super comfy to watch. It feels like I'm hanging out with a friend and reminiscing on nostalgia.

All the kids now will remember spyro as ONLY a skylander...

There were NOT 10-15 missions per episode. There were about 7-8. Pretty big difference. But I love the review. This game was magic to me.

Good to see an unbiased review of Sly 4. Also good to see a 3D platformer handled by a different company whom doesn't end up ruining it in the process! I've already pre-ordered this game at EBGames, so I'll definitely pick it up when I get the chance!

1-Sly 2 2-Sly 4 3-Sly 3 4-Sly 1

For that "cool twist" if you mean a character from the last game that changes her views that's ducking dumb and not cool in the slightest

1: Sly 2 2: Sly 3 3: Sly 1 4: Sly 4

My list: 1.Sly 3 2.Sly 4 3.Sly 2 4.Sly 1

i rate this video: GREASY SWEET!!!

Sorry but the soundtrack for Sly 2 trumps this one hands down. I honestly can't say I remember a single song from Thieves in Time, yet the soundtrack for Sly 2 is forever burned into my brain.

As someone who never played any of these games,I would like to say thank you for not forgetting to take in consideration of new players to the franchise. Keep up the good work.

I agree with the review for the most part. For me the hacking games were tedious and got repetitive towards the end but to be honest I wasn't very good at them. The use of sixaxis controls wasn't so bad. I'd say it's better implemented compared to other games that try to use it.

I absolutely LOVED the gameplay for Tennessee Kid Cooper. I would seriously, no joke, play an entire game about him. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaseeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!! Also, I guessed the mid-way plot twist you are talking about. It was too obvious.

the two things didn't like about this game were: 1. Penelope being the Black knight, and 2. THE STUPID ADDITION OF THE SIXAXIS CONTROL.

Um what was that cutscene that you showed in the intro at the very begining of the video where sly ties carmelita up I don't remember that cutscene

I will never forget Murray as a Geisha in Feudal Japan... no matter how much I want to.

I'm glad that you mentioned Carmelita's design change. I was very torn seeing her in a mini skirt, since I really loved her pants/boots combo in the trilogy. Great video regardless!

Hey ant, just wanted to say congratulations for 5 years on KZfaq (according to Sonikdude101). I've been a fan since the days of Megaman 9 and haven't given up on ya yet. Hope to see more awesome videos in the future.

I actually don't really see this as being the end of the "Sly Cooper" series, considering that the secret ending that somewhat gave an idea of where Sly is feels completely like a cliff hanger. Or maybe it was just a way for fans to continue making more conspiracy theories, but I'm gonna go with the former. Great reviews, nonetheless.

Chapter 3 was my favourite!! That Murray training montage was classic.

I'm sure the skirts for etter agility, there are such things as armored skirts, usually scalemail or kevlar, and even some maidens also trained as soldiers wore armored skirts, so they could defend themselves and kingdoms from attack if need be. But I agree with you, they probably just matured her up, despite her seeming more agile now.

Game isn't bad but I certainly missed the Sucker Punch touch here.

this game is just gold I only played the first game and then this one and they both are just exactly what a videogame should be! many other games can learn something from this series I need to get the trio for the ps3

Sanzaru should have recognized that the average age of sly fans has increased. I was 7 when Sly 1 came out, now I am 18. Consequently, they should have thought about making the game a bit more difficult. It was a good game, but I was expecting more because it was on a newer system. For example, I don't know why the split-screen modes from sly 3 were left out. I liked those. Thieves in time made the game too easy with the regenerating special move bar, and enemies on radar (I always disabled it). And I felt like the underpriced unlockables just made things much easier in an already easy game. It was way too easy to get tons of coins, and the upgrades should have been more expensive to increase difficulty. The purchasable ones were useful, but they were extremely easy to buy. The clue bottle locater made things too easy as well. The silent sprint was overpowered too. Sly masks didn't give me a satisfying unlockable either. I also don't know why this game has 3 less episodes than Sly 2, and 32 less jobs. I know the jobs in thieves in time are individually longer, but you need a larger number to increase variety. Especially considering that this game is on a newer system. Sly 2 had great variety because it had a more episodes with open worlds. That made the game so much more interesting and gripping. Thieves in time also had some unfortunate boss battles (the wild west, and final one). Some boss's are good enough to have 2 episodes dedicated to themselves. I think El Jefe and possibly the Grizz could have had 2. Grizz deserved a better episode than the prehistoric one that had the most boring ancestor. The only good thing about that ancestor and episode was the training montage that reminded me of the lumberjack games in sly 2. I did enjoy thieves in time, but I was expecting more. I also felt like there was not enough up-front combat overall with sly. Stealth is good, but you need a happy combination of the two.

My only problem is that the final boss is a quick time event. Just why, there was no other quick time event in the entire series, if you don't count the dance scenes.

they talk about her in the 3rd game, Henriette "One Eye" Cooper is mentioned while sly explores the cooper vault.

Now this seems very strange to me, atleast. How come yo don't have more views? What you do here is so proffesionally done and you'r voice are basically made for these kinds of reviews/radio etc. What I am trying to say is that you, my friend, are doing an amazing job with these reviews! I esspecially liked this video, due to the fact that I a big fan to the Sly franchise! That's all!

Now that more than 3 years have passed since this video review, I wanna ask a question: Do you still think that a Sly Cooper 5 game "isn't necessary"? Because I surely think it is, besides, I always wanted a Sly episode set in Egypt ( and no, the Sly 2 introduction doesn't count as an "Episode" ).

Hey Dude, can you tell me a list of the Sly games in order from least to greatest?

What did you think of the blimp level at the end of the game?

that song of dimitri from let's dance, really let me think about the missions in dimitri's world which are my very best game expirience ever, and it gives me a really good feeling inside

I hope they do make a Thieves in Time 2. I wanna see Sly's other ancestors.

Not you saying Miss Grey "Fake Chola Accent" Griffin De-whatever finally gave Carmelita an accent. 😭 Open your ears, she had one in 1 and 3. Idk if those ladies had real accents but they sound far more real than Grey's exaggerations. Maybe 2 wasn't the best, but I respect a latina that doesn't fake an accent over one that does. Poorly. She loves making gringos laugh

I've wanted to get this since the anouncement trailer, but us UK guys have to wait till the end of the month before we can play it.

Sly 4 was the first one i played, man did I miss out in the originals at the time. Trilogy was really amazing

Was this game ever patched? I'm installing a bunch of ps3 games that i never got any time to play before and downloading the patches before the servers go down, but this game didn't patch or update or anything, just went straight into the game

Well, there have been rumors of a fifth installment of the series. Also, just by looking at the end of the game, they kind of have to, because they kind of left us at a point where it would make perfect sense.

What's the end card music though?

I was too, but really, it's kinda nice that they didn't resort to falling back on a previous boss (at least this soon). The next game should have him as an important figure though.

I really enjoyed the game. People say that the game was forced but if they attempted to be edgey and different people would be in an uproar. As a fan it was exactly what I would want even if it didn't break any ground and had a different team. I just like how it actually had people who care about the series instead of churning out anything. My only problems are that the loading screens are randomly long, the final boss compared to the rest was a major letdown with the generic quicktime event not to mention it felt like Paris could have been a final area but it skipped that idea completely. You could say the other team members should have been given more screen time but then I wouldn't force anything unnecessary.

I liked all the boss fights in Thieves In Time, except for the last one. Sadly it was just a series of quick time events, not a test of all the skills you had gained up to that point, like Sly 3's final Boss fight. Also, so much attention was given to each hub world, making them big and full of things to collect, that the jobs preparing for the big heist didn't feel as nuanced as in the previous 2 games. I also miss the old Power Up system that was very Zelda-esque. I miss having Combat Dodge, Feral Pounce, and Shadow Power. Carmelita doesn't get the Mega Jump until the very end of the game and she was nerfed considerably, whereas in Sly 3 she was so powerful, I also don't like her redesign A Mini Skirt doesn't scream "tough cop lady" to me. Bentley's Hover Pack isn't a triple jump anymore but instead a short distance hover. Murray feels too sluggish. Overall, I think all the characters were faster and snappier in Sly 3. Also, Thieves in Time played it a little too close to Sly 2's formula. Collecting Clue bottles and stealing Loot was a great activity in each hub world, and it made you feel like a thief, but I enjoyed that exploration was its own reward in Sly 3.

i think she's latina since her full name is Carmelita Montoya fox, which i think Montoya is a spanish word and after looking it up on wikipedia, it is

I know I'm about five years late but I grew up with sly, mainly the second and third one and never finished either game until later on which was basically what happened to every game I played at a young age but Sly was something special, I've replayed all but the first a million times, all though not fully, especially the third game. But i also played it with my dad who was also in love with the games. I ended up getting sly 4 on both Vita and ps3 and played both versions fully and possibly replayed it fully about three times and I absolutely love the game. While all the original worlds in the other two games were unique and such, As a kid, they were fun at first but then sorta felt long and I forgot most of what happened in them. I remember being afraid of Murray after the spider lady. And I always preferred Sly because he's sneaky and agile and I always preferred to play that way. I know I personally loved the fourth game because it felt so different, the artstyle, the game style, most of the gameplay. I loved the little twist in one of my favorite worlds. The medieval themed one and the Wild West were my favorites because it felt more inviting to me and different compared to the previous games. I should stop where I am before I get too deep 😅

Nice review. So now that you've done the Sly games what do you plan to do next, or is that a surprise?

I couldn't give a review with as much justice as you did. You hit nearly all points that I have with the game. With my opinion that you wont respond to, I had critic related problems with the game in nearly all aspects. Biggest being the story, the bosses, and continuity. I'd have to but this one on the shelf under 2 and 3 (and maybe 1) in my opinion. Great review, I'm gonna watch it again.

In my opinion, this was the worst Sly game. Don't get me wrong - I really like this game cause it's Sly Cooper! However, I found this game way too easy. Every mission was done in like 3 minutes in one or two tries. The guard AI was sloppy. The bosses weren't very well thought out, and the names of them were very "obvious" (Decibel is a unit for sound, and of course, Ms. Decibel was a musical boss). The humor was too try-hard. The characters were out of place at some points. The plans Bentley made weren't as great as the other games. I really enjoy this game, but it'd definitely be better if Sucker Punch had made it! :D

i highly recommend getting the collection, it is definitely worth it :D. you're gonna love honor among thieves.

I hat the hacking mini games. Like every time you play as Bentley you have to do a 10 minute hacking mini game. You want my advice stick to sly HD collection

now we have to wait another 7 years for sly 5

Sly Series is in desperate need of ports to new generations, it’s locked on the ps3 & vita (and no, cloud versions dont count)… like just port the trilogy + Thieves in Time (+ Bentley’s Hackpack, for preservation purposes) as a one single release… the Sly Cooper Master Thief collection

a wise review, sadly for the cliffhanger... if only there was like a comic or similart to finish of Sly 4 story in any way.

Great job as always.

Mission 1 = Get the costume Mission 2 = Break out Sir Galleth Mission 3 = Get Sir Galleth's cane back Mission 4 = Destroy blimps Mission 5 = Mechanical menace Mission 6 = Murray, Sly and Sir Galleth mission Mission 7 = Bentley mission Mission 8 = Sir Galleth collecting fire bulbs and Sly competing in the archery mini game Mission 9 = Boss battle

I've given this game 2 chances and dropped it on both. I hate how slowly responsive the controls are. Ruins the experience for me. Could also be the frame rate, which seems awfully slow..

I think its horrible that nobody is talking about the 2016 Sly Cooper movie i think this proved that Ratchet and Clank was his main opponent in the early 2000s platformer "war"

You can replay jobs but they are exclusive to that character. The ancestors are only playable in their own chapters.

Maybe someone has said this already but far as Sly Cooper lore goes there has only been one confirmed female ancestor still they added a new one for this game so that dosn't have to stop them.

I love how overwhelmingly specific you are about certain facts in the game. Non sarcastic wink… Great review though.

If anything i was disappointed we didn't get to see his female pirate ancestor or his Egyption ancestor

I picked it up recently since I missed it when it came out. On the first chapter(ancient Japan) and so far it's pretty good(as of first impressions) so I'm hoping it stays that way

How were they un-faithful? I'd love to know.

I figured the lack of Dimitri talking would have sadden you greatly. I'm kinda surprised you didn't briefly go over the boss characters like you did in the last three games. Then again since one of the bosses is linked to that big twist you revealed, it's probably for the best. Speaking of said twist, without spoiling it, what did you think of it?

I have to say that Sly Cooper looks really fun, like Ratchet and Clank, but Jak and Daxter, especially Jak 2 are just so god damn frustrating that people are about to throw the damn controller at the TV and yell: ''FUCK THIS GAME!'' I've played Sly 2 and Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time demos and honestlly, I would be happy to get the HD Collection for Sly Cooper and Thieves in Time! :) I hope someday in the future, I will have the chance to get those games and play them! :D

Personally I was SO glad you mainly played as Sly. I hate when games like This force you to play as other less fun characters so the focus on sly was a nice breather from the earlier titles TBH. I know this is like a fan least favorite but personally it was one of my favs.

There is 9 if you go on the replay job menu there are 9 jobs and you forgot to mention the 8th job which is the archery mini game.

The worst part is load screens. I ignored this, and when the game started I was ready to play the game as Silver the Hedgehog...

Could you do some more Sly Cooper on the channel.

Great review. Looks like I need to check this game out. And will you review the Ratchet games in the future?

Hm. Wanna try again, five years later?

10:14 - You equally can't trust the opinion of fanboy's who are obsessed with the long dead mascot platform genre either.

Honestly, the plot twist just felt wrong. I mean, I would accepted it if this was made by the original developers. I would have excepted it if it was a new character created by the new developers. But having them take an already established character and just change them with little justification, it just feels wrong.

Hey AntDude92, Here's a bonus u should try. Try and finish the game 100% and then go to cinematics and their will be an extra cinematic that gives u hint of where Sly might go next. You up to the challenge?

have you considered making "lets dance!" a catchphrase

I played all 4 and they are fun but 1-3 was the HD version and if they will make a thieves in time 2 maybe they should put sly father well this my opinion.

The game is not bad but I wish the levels had more then just the guards roaming the streets, the game should of had civilians roam around too

Maybe with the Sly Cooper movie coming out, Sucker Punch will retcon the series on the PS4 like Insomniac did with Ratchet & Clank.

I played all of the sly games except 4 so my bf recently bought me a ps3 and i ordered sly for off of gamefly! i am excited to try it!

Sly 5 already announced.

i like sir galath cooper hes awesome and his lance looks sick

I hated that they made Penelope evil. It came out of nowhere.

Controls of this game felt a little floaty to me. They were a lot better in the previous games. Also the hub worlds felt really static. The game was just ok but nowhere near the level of the previous titles

love this game so much! especially since 1) i've wanted a new sly game for 5+ years 2) this game is $30 on vita and it's exactly the same game on the go which is were i prefer most games TBH my only complains are...slow down especially on the 3rd world (probably the vita version only), the collectables not being listed (like how many are in each mission), not being able to play as other characters as much.

Sly 2 forever!Jean Bison missions were best. Jungle #2

If you liked Sly, play its predecessor, Rocket Robot on Wheels!

In response to your comment at 8:45 , I believe that Carmelita's voice was Latina to begin with, albiet with a hint of Cantonese. I say this because at some points, she sounds a bit like Cassandra from "Wayne's World"

Are you going to review the infamous games.

To be honest I thought this game discouraged stealth more than the first and third game. It was full of minnie games and missions that didn't contribute to the final heist as well and if it did there was a lame reason for it. I also thought that they could have possibly brought clockwerk back because well they are going back in time, but I do have some hope for the next game because le paradox sounds soo similar to clockwerk. I started thinking that maybe le paradox created clockwerk or that he was clockwerk.

you forgot to mention that if you get all the achievments you get a secret ending

I liked Carmelita's voice in Sly 1 the best and Sly 2 was also pretty good, didn't love her voice in Sly 3 or Sly 4 but in this game she does sound a bit more Spanish

Great review! I particularly like how you recognise this is a game for the fans, and in that merit it succeeds. Not to mention I think to change things up after 6 or so years with a new developer would be far too dangerous. We don't want a completely evolved game after 6 years, we want the sly we remember, so in that aspect I'm glad they focused on. Living in Australia, it releases tomorrow and I will be getting it then and I'm very excited for it.

That 5th game rumor better be true.

I like this game, but my biggest issue with this game is the game mechanics. It did not control as well as the previous games, for example Bently. I used to love shooting enemies with the sleep darts and then bombing them in the 3rd game. Now you have to presslthe left bumper and switch between sleep and bombing equipment in order to stealth kill that way. Its annoying. I always loved all up grades you can get for Murray in this game, but they are borderline pointless because he's not used as much as he is in 3. Oh and fuck the motion control parts. The 6 axis tilting made the Murray Games a nightmare to get through. Oh and i love Bob Cooper. I wish there were more missions for him and they gave him his own Murray-esque fight styles. As for Carmalita, i like her in this game, but i hate how her super jump and rapid fire were moves you had to buy. I have to bring up how dumb it is there were no secrets or powerups that show off where treasures and masks. Oh and this soundtrack is god tier

the sly cooper MOVIE coming soon

what about the secert ending

When I played this game, I felt like the maps weren't really that great than in the previous games. I hadn't had troubles to memorised them, but, with this game? I didn't learn even one single map. The worst was that for me the gameplay felt weird, the characters moved really slow, even Sly! And I didn't feel the jumps that useful, even if they were. For me it was quite a nonesense. Oh, and I'm spanish, and this was the only game when the pronunciation of the characters' names changed, at the same time that the voice actors from Sly and Murray changed; this, plus the re-design of Murray, felt like if the characters weren't the same as before, that they were other characters. In addition, I don't remember any of the villains like I do with the ones of Honor Among Thieves or- of course- Gang of Thieves.
