I love the new locations in this new game! You get to go to Venice, China, a pirate island, Holland, and Dr. M's island, a baboon mad scientist who is the final boss in Sly 3. My favorite boss is General Tsao, the chinese rooster who looks very cool but very hard to defeat. China is my favorite level, because it's the largest level in the game. My least favorite boss is Dr. M, because he relys on his big machine on his brain that releases fire and all that bad stuff. Dr. M's Island is my least favorite level, because you can't travel around the whole island. The only complaint I have from the game are those boring, but pretty hard 2-D computer shooter mini-games. Those are just wasting my time! Isn't there an alternative way to these 2-D shooters? Anyways, i hope there is a 4th Sly game where Sly pretends to be in love with CArmelita, but goes out theiving when she doesn't know it. This would be a great beginning for the 4th Sly game to the end of the 3rd Sly game!

Really Great Game!

I love this game! I was so excited to play this game after playing both Sly Cooper and Sly 2. I was especially curious about the two-player games and the 3-D. When I finally recieved that game, I was very pleased! The graphics are as intriging and incredible as the first, and the movements of the chracters are so fluid, it took me a while to get used to the technology! The game-play is awesome and being able to play all of the characters was great. The improved gadgets and thief net were great as well because all I had to do was purchase my items and not have to worry about selling the loot, too. Also, it's much better that I can pick-pocket with Sly, Bentley and Murray because it was very hard in the second game to be out on the field with Bentley and not be able to get extra loot. Now, I wasn't so pleased with the 3-D. I think it was really unneccasery, but the two-player is awesome! I've heard a lot of bad stuff about it, but it's really REALLY great, especially when I have friends over. We can play together and not have to fight over the controller! Over-all, this is a must-play game that anyone will enjoy.

PROS:
1. improved graphics and moveability
2. great gadgets that far surpass the old ones (just wait until you see the disguises!)
3. awesome two-player games includings Cops and Robbers (my favorite, who hasn't wanted to play Carmelita?), Bi-Plane Duel and Boat Fight (complete with cannons)
4. great chracters that pose a challenge, not the same hum-drum of the other two games
5. awesome worlds to visit (plus awesome guards to fight)
6. fun jobs (like a lemonade drinking contest and a pirate talk duel)
CONS:
1. not much replayability
2. no clue bottles (that was the biggest dissapointment)
3. a bit fast, but you can go back and re-do missions
4. the Hazard Room is neccasery for new players, but it's repetative for skilled players and you can't move on without completing it
5. very confusing order of events (it's starts at the end, goes to the beginning and then continues to the end, but skips over the part you did at the beginning and I was really REALLY confused until I got to the end)
6. the boss fights are a little boring

Buy this game!!!

The Best Sly Yet

Sly2 was worlds above Sly1, and Sly3 made the franchise even better. The game is extremely long, pretty challenging (especially near the end), and has replayable levels with "Master Thief" extras like beating the clock, etc. The "Master Thief" levels are very difficult, IMO and I've only been able to do a few of them, but it makes the game still fun to play.

I finished it yesterday--one of the few games that I actually finish. Be prepared for an excruciating level boss run at the end.

Totally worth every curse word out of my mouth :) You'll be glad you have this game.

Just your normal Sly fix now with added multiplayer

Wait... hold up... Sly with multiplayer? What does that involve? 2 custom Slys race to pickpocket guards? Two custom Carmelitas trow thugs in jail? Not really but... those two ideas are actually in one of the 2-player (Yeah. Only 2-player) modes.
Behold:
COPS AND ROBBERS!!!
The best multiplayer mode. Player one is Sly and he either has to steal loot or kill Carmelita 5 times to win. Player 2 on the other hand, is Carmelita, trying to "stop" Sly by killing him 5 times. Wait, don't go! It's fun. Really. Just try and you will get hooked. Promise.
Back to the game, shall we?

Let's get one thing straight... I have NOT cleared the game. I'm established in the "Protect Coopeer Hanger(or something like that)" mission in Episode 3, "Flight of Fancy". It's a tad too hard. I am Icelantic so it was great to see that Iceland made it into the game. You break into an hotel room Icelantic... deers... are renting. It has their flag and everything. Also one of them fancy viking helmets. It's in the "Frame Team Iceland" mission. I don't feel all comfortable framing my own country but hey. IT'S FUN!!! I enjoyed the "Frame Team Belgium" mission more. You frame Team Belgiu, for stealing Team Iceland's lucky Ice statue. Oh, in case you are wondering WHAT THE HELL ARE ICELAND AND BELGIUM DOING IN TEAMS then here is the answer: hey have entered some dogfight competition called ACES.

I have experienced the pleasure to play as five characters: Sly, Bently, Carmelita, Murray and Guru.

1. Sly
He is the one you start with. He is still really stealthy but this time around he is really athletic. Take that Prince of Persia.

2. Bentley
Early in Episode 1 "An Opera of Fear", you unlock Bentley to play with. He is wheelchair bound now but he is still just as fun to play as. Even more fun. He has a huge amount of sexy gadgets.

3. Carmelita
She is not in the gang but you can still play as her and that is a total joy. Soon after having unlocked Bentley, you can play with Carmelita. She can jump super high and has a cool shock-pistol. I think she's hot.

4. Murray
Soon after having cleared Carmelita's mission, you can play as Murray but you don't unlock him until you've cleared Episode. 1. He is still strong and now has a Sonic style Spin Dash. Cool!

5. The Guru
I haven't unlocked him yet but I have already cleared two of his missions. He is a little fella who can jump on guys and contol them. He can also transform into an object, making every guard on your tail go away. Ace!

Let's talk about the graphics. As you'd expect, this is still cel-shaded but the game comes with some cool looking 3D glasses that adds a new twist to the game. Instead of doing like the not-so-recent movie Spy-Kids 3-D, that generally FORCED everything to jump out of your telly and smack you in your face, this keeps everything the way it is, and adds a more realistic athmosphere (did I type that right?) to the game. Like when you're in a cave, the dust floating around looks like it's actually inside your room/living room/bathroom/jail cell etc.

Here is a rundown of the character voices. I haven't heard everyone speak but most of the game crew talks in the opening mission.

Sly: Same as the last game. Still sounding great.
Bentley: Same as last. Still sounding he has a cold or something.
Murray: A bit deeper than last but still okay.
Carmelita: Better in Sly 2. She now speaks like a single mother with an southern accent.
Penelope: Awful. Ever want to hear how Britney Spears sounds like a kid? Thought not. When she speaks, put your TV to mute. The subtitles will inform you whats happening.
Dimitri: Early on he sound like a zombie but is fixed in episode 3. Sounded better in Sly 2.
Panda King: Whatever.
Octavio: Awesome. Sounds like an actual opera singer.
Black Baron: Yeah... he sound all right...

My fav mini-game is:
The rythim action opera singing in episode 1.
The game is good enogh but hearing Bentley sing is priceless.

I just recieved this game for my birthday present and I am loving every bit of this game. The cons of this game are that there is alot of characters to play with such as Carmelita, Guru, Bently, Murray, Dimitri, Panda King, Penelope, and SLY of course. What is really good about this game is that the addition of the multiplayer mode. You can play co-op in a hacking game as sly or bently. You can play biplanes as sly or carmelita. And the best of the multiplayer games, cops and robbers where you get to play as sly or carmelita. Carmelita's job is to defeat sly 5 times, sly's job is to collect loot around the city. As you explore the city in this cops and robbers game you will find many power ups such as shield, super jump, hypnotize, heat seeking missiles, rocket boots, teleport, and more. Another excellent addition to this game is the 3-D feature where you will get to play levels in 3-D using the enclose 3-d glasses in the manual. You will have a option of using 3-d. In this game you play and think as Sly because you get to answer as Sly using a thinking bubble. This is probably the best game for 2005 so far. Thanks for reading my review :)

Sly 3 Honor Among Thieves is a lot of fun! Sly Cooper is a master thief, with good stealth skills, high agility, and good disguises. Bentley, Murray, and Carmelita are the other characters in the game that are playable. Bentley is a turtle in a wheelchair who is smart and a little scared in a battle. Murray is a hippo who is big and strong. Carmelita is a fox who is trying to catch the Cooper gang with her shock pistol which fires stun blasts. Every episode has a level in 3-D and they are extremely realistic. The areas are Venice, a mine in Australia, Holland, China, Blood Bath Bay, and a secret island in the South Pacific. The huge battles are on land, air, and sea. Sly 3 Honor Among Thieves is a fantastic game that everyone can enjoy.

Our favorite game

Reviewing this game is pointless since it's irrelevant if we may like or not like a few things about it. The fact is that comparing to any other game that I and my family has played, this game is our favorite. It would be simply unfair to try to think of weak points of this game and give it 3 or 4 stars, because the fact is that in our opinion no other game deserves to be rated higher than Sly 3 (and Sly 2). We are just happy that such a great game was released, that we found it, and that we had the opportunuty to play it. Most of the other games that we bought started colleting dust couple hours after we tried them. Not this one.

I have all of the games and I'm wondering why you don't. This is the best game of the series. More characters, more action, great plot. 10/5 stars for sure. No matter how good of a gamer you are get this game. Even if you don't have a PS2 go buy one and this game. I'll bet you think I'm kidding.

This is a great game. It doesn't top Sly 2: Band of theives, but it is better than Sly 1. The Graphics are the same as they were in Sly 2. The plot is very well made and the Voice overs are good.
Overall I give this game a 9.0/10. Sly is still the man

Graphics: 9/10
Voice overs: 9/10
