  • Summary: Fantastic heists, impossible escapes, and busty brunettes - all in a day's work for anime's favorite thief. Play with all the style and panache of a British spy while committing crimes even the most accomplished cat-burglar would be proud of. Use disguises, stealth and of course the loot, to solve puzzles, gather clues and tackle obstacles. Will you reach the King's palace and its golden treasures? And watch out for the lovely Fujiko - she might steal more than your heart... [Bandai]… Expand

    The game contains bits of combat, Tomb Raider-ish puzzle solving, and environmental hazzards. [JPN Import; Mar 2003, p.63]

    A surprisingly rewarding and polished adaptation of the show. [Mar 2004, p.98]

    With its comedic bent and offbeat gameplay, Lupin the 3rd is a blessed alternative to the current wave of "Splinter Cell" clones, and a game that stealth fans and Lupin geeks can dig on equally. [Feb 2004, p.88]

    The controls are unbelievable -- they're more fiddly than an Irish wedding. Every button on the PS2 pad is used, and many actions (like firing a weapon) require multiple presses when one could've sufficed.
