Four Fat Chicks

The Sting! has bite! It's a hit. There may be some rough edges (blocky graphics, clunky camera, spastic movement), but the overall play and fun far outweigh such picky faultfinding.

GamePower

Visually, The Sting is downright gorgeous, similar in many respects to some of the animated cartoons run on Saturday morning TV.

Yahoo! Games

Hugely compelling and damned addictive.

IGN

Even with these little mishaps, The Sting really was a refreshingly fun game for me to sink my teeth into.

GameSpot

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.

Gamezilla!

The game is mostly held back by its lack of interesting visuals and sound and sometimes difficult interface.

GameZone

It does have a lot to do with crime and criminals, but without the suspense and comedy.

Computer Games Magazine

Offers entertaining and strategically larcenous gameplay with a fun sense of humor.

Adrenaline Vault

None of the facets of this release are particularly outstanding, and in particular you have to cope with the rather odd camera movement and the passivity of just watching when your actual caper is carried out.

Odi W. gave it a 6:
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.

Nicola gave it a 10:
Wonderful!

Daniel B. gave it an 8:
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!

Paul M. gave it an 8:
This game is challenging and original. A definite reminder of "The Sims." There is nothing like an old fasion crime spree!

Angel P. gave it a 10:
