    This game is challenging and original. A definite reminder of "The Sims." There is nothing like an old fasion crime spree!

    What I love about this game is the cartoon style, very refreshing to see it in 3D. I love the make-a-plan before goin in approach!

    Sequel to The Clou! and not as good a the original, it really was lame to play the first few levels and having to walkt everywhere or watch the robbery go wrong after 30 minutes setting up, just wasn't worth the install at all.

  1. Even with the questionable atmosphere and strange real-time/planning/movie setup, The Sting! does offer an enjoyable amount of tension and mental challenge as you creep around stores at night and run for cover when guards stroll by.
  2. The game is mostly held back by its lack of interesting visuals and sound and sometimes difficult interface.
  3. It does have a lot to do with crime and criminals, but without the suspense and comedy.
