I tested this game, it is really cool. Alot of the game revovles around stealth. You have to sneak alot and stay out of the light. This game is very entertaining. If you like Metal Gear Solid you will like this game too.

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a game I am extremely excited about. If you have not seen it you
can get the demo just about anywhere, Sony must be crop dusting with these
things, I have seen it three times already in the gaming magazines. I also
had a chance to play it at Ozzfest (Sony trucks) where they were showing
considerably more of the game.

The first thing that drew my attention to this game was the graphical look.
The game looks absolutely amazing. The demo is by far the best looking
game I have ever seen on my HDTV. The art and design get high praise. I
am having fun with it and my kids are really enjoying it as well (I have an
11 and 8 year old). The play control is really nice, it has a good feel
and the movement is fast and reacts great.

The personalities of the different characters is really well done. The
whole game follows a thief theme and you feel like you are "Sly Cooper"
and part of the action. I have seen sites calling it a Metal Gear parody,
this is not how I would describe the game. The stealth is not patience
based or "lock you in room" and keep trying until you get it, it is more
action based: moving spotlights, running around in a barrel, hidding from
guards, dodging lazers. I really enjoyed the premise and execution of the
game.

Very Cool

A very rewarding departure from the standard platformer

Most platformers today are more or less the same. Same ideas, same objectives with the same old cliche's. Sly Cooper is about to break that trend. Make no mistake, it does share similarities with various platformers, but it adds enough depth and play mechanics to seperate itself from the pack while still remainng quite fun. The game revolves alot around stealth, ala MGS, but fuses it together with platformer elements. Instead of jumping around mindlessly as in most platformers, Sly makes you think just what is the best route to get to a certain objective, as there will often be diffrent traps and other enemies or the like but there is always different routes to take rather than a set path for every objective. Each path will vary on difficulty and strategy. It might me to jump into a barrel and tip toe around an enemy or radar, or perhaps scurry up a high wire, or maybe swing from rope to rope. There are plenty of various situations where different skills or tactics will be needed, so everything does not become monotonous. Thankfully, the game itself handles wondefully, with very fluid and responsive control. Sly himself has diffrent abilities such as jumping, rolling, running, and and uses his odd-shaped cane as his primary 'weapon'. There are also your typical coin collecting for extra lives and you can also collect a few bottles in each level, to unlock a secret move for Sly to have at his desposure. So the little collecting there is in the game is quite rewarding. Another great aspect is the mini games. You will find mini games such as auto racing, where you drive Sly's beefed up dirt truck and there's other like sniping, submarine shooting and many others. The game's graphics are impressive as it looks much like a modern animated cartoon, and a good one at that. Animation flows seamingly and gives the illusion of a fantasy cartoon world. Enivorments and color schemes are also varied to keep from getting too repetetive. There is also voice acting dialogue through-out the entire game. All in all Sly Cooper is a great platforming game, that mixes platform action with stealth gameplay and yet manages to keep these two concepts quite enjoyable. Add to that endless mini-games and amusing dialogue. It's a game that can be enjoyed by both young children and adults alike.

SUPER GAME

If you like Crash and Spyro type games you will love this game. I got a hold of the demo(I work at Toys R Us)and I didn't want to take it back.All I can say is once you start you don't want to stop. The best part was,like Crash,you can pick the rooms YOU want and in what order.
One hint when playing hit all signs,extra coins!

Get it NOW

Played the demo...I'm really not a "gamer," but this one is absolutely beautiful and has so many different levels to play. It was difficult to leave the colorful, artistic and cleverly designed world of Sly and friends. It is a MUST HAVE for all PlayStation players. I know what all my friends will be getting for Christmas.

One of the best platform games ever!

This game is incredible. It has a great amount of levels (more than 40), and inovation supreme. This is not the normal platformer. Instead of going to an area to chose your levels, that area is a level, with thieving oppurtunities and enemies alike. This game also does not contain only the normal run, attack, jump conventional style of platform game. It has a riduculous amount of minigames that are the levels themselve's, from racing a van to shooting crabs in a submarine. This is by far one of the best platform games ever, rivaling the big "M".
Also, the graphics are incredible. They're not like Final Fantasy X or Metal Gear Solid 2 which have next to life graphics, but use an interesting type of cel-shading. Overall, this is one of the best platform games ever and ranks high in the list of best games ever.

This game is great..........not!
