Feb 25, 2013This is my favorite game of all time to this day. Excellent story, graphics, gameplay, and sandbox elements. This game was a complete blast to playthrough. The characters are very charming and it has a deep story for being a kid's games. I'm 15 and I still enjoy this game A LOT. I highly recommend you get this for the Playstation 2 or Playstation 3!

Nov 19, 2015A great game for fans of platformers and adventure games. Still holds up after all the years. Fun puzzles and good story telling with strong graphics. The extras and repeatably are present, but don't really introduce anything new outside of timed events. Good for all ages.
-
Jun 4, 2012Great characters, a fun plot and very diverse gameplay. The graphical style is nice, boss battles are also great but the game doesn't really know what it wants to be.
-
K.K.Sep 14, 2004It's a lot better than the first but still isn't all that good as it gets a bit repetitive.

Feb 26, 2013Amazing game! This a mixture between Action/Adventure/Platform and Open World. The gameplay is great, and the plot is very nice. Graphically very good, this game gets a full 7, because this is a very funny and nice game.

Sep 17, 2021Sly 2: Band of Thieves is an excellent game just like it's predecessor, although it can get fairly repetitive after a while.

LockneO.Oct 2, 2004Sly 2 was a great game that kept me interested for hours. Its visuals are outstanding, the story is extremely clever, and the Sly's new moves are awesome. Not as entertaining as the first but still a great game!

Sep 21, 2010This game was awesome! one the elements was that from the start you were really working towards a goal! everything you did had a role in the final big robbery of the stage. those robbery's really had something like a good movie robbery (however, i couldn't find the first sly anywhere so i haven't played the first).
-
Dec 12, 20112 years later Sucker Punch doubled the length, tripled the characters, improved the music, sound, story and gameplay. Missions are somehow even more varied than the first game, characters somehow 100 times better and it very rarely gets at all repetitive. It is a game that should however be played in small bursts because it can be very frustrating.

Feb 8, 2011i played the demo on ratchet and clank up your arsenal a while back and got it for my birthday (also a while back) i was amazed and love the graphics. the story is great and character is funny. this is a fun game for anyone.
-
Aug 27, 2011With a lot more features and variety in the gameplay, Sly 2 (even with that) don't beat the classic humorist predecessor . But end of the negativeness, Sly 2 prevails in cartoonish graphics ( improved) and adds a more bigger city to explore that is fun to always circle it. Instant sabotage
-
May 23, 2011GREAT GAME with good graphics a good story but it's a little bit short but the other parts make up for that it's amazingly fun to play you have to by this game now!!

Oct 13, 2011my 3d favorite game of all time.(after sly cooper and the thievius racoonus and sly 3 honor among thieves)
I love everything about this game. The graphics and gameplay are just amazing and the length is perfect. I play this every week at least once. i will never stop playing sly cooper games. -
Feb 5, 2012Best game in the series, it's a long, deep adventure and it's worth all your time to beat this game. It has a wonderful story and genius gameplay. Worth every cent to pick this game up.
-
Jul 31, 2012Best Sly game. Outstanding game for those who like platformers. The levels are brilliantly done with lots of eye candy. This is very fun game. Art desingn, characters, music and gameplay are very very good.
-
Nov 23, 2012The best in the series. With an awesome script, game mechanic, art style, and presentation. Totally worth more than one play through.

Nov 12, 2014The best game in the series. Combines diverse gameplay mechanics (platforming, stealth, vehicle driving and shooting sections), cartoony graphics and interesting adventures among the world. Stellar presentation included.
The only downside for me is turret levels. It bugs me operating them in every possible mode.
The game is a blast and easy platinum if you're playing on PS3. -
Nov 26, 2013This game is awesome it has way more replay value and a much better story than InFamous. There are a ton of surprising plot twists and constable Neyla is a good villainess and the name Klaww from the Klaww gang was taken from the second boss counting the dark Eco plant from Jak 1.

Aug 31, 2014This game is fantastic. It's clever, it's full of humor, the story is good, the atmosphere is freakin' amazing and the characters are love able. I would say that this is one of the greatest video games ever. It's not only a kids game. Just try it!!! It's amazing!
-
Jul 15, 2020Sly 2: Band of Thieves is a phenomenal follow-up after the events of the first game and it’s full of surprises that you don’t want to miss.
-
Feb 17, 2015The best game in the series. Not too short, not too long. Greatly expands on the first game, and has a great plot and fantastic gameplay. Completely recommend.
-
Jun 17, 2019A platforming masterpiece with tight controls, fun missions, an engaging story, likable characters, and a captivating atmosphere. Taking the player from night-time Paris to a rainy jungle and snowy mountains, the game's quality never dips below an extremely high level. One of the best platformers of all time.
-
Mar 14, 2016One of my favourite games of all time, the gameplay and story in Band of Thieves provide hours of enjoyment. The only downside is that the game suffers from bugs, on very rare occasions, which have resulted in the loss of hours of progress.
-
Jun 3, 2015By far the best game in the Sly series. Amazing storylines that make you want to continue playing, great stealth, great, theme-fitting music, every character is always fun, level design is perfect, fun gameplay, feels great when you complete anything. Amazing game.
-
May 21, 2016This is the best game of Sly Series . This game has got cartoon graphics and amazing storyline about thief Sly Cooper . This game is Stealth , Action and Platformer . This game like on Assassin's Creed Series and Prince of Persia Series . In this game there is a parkour . Best Stelth on PS2 with Splinter Cell Chaos Theory . Very good and amazing game . 8/10 .

Nov 26, 2017Sly cooper is the best plattform game ever made **** mario this is how a game is supposed to be made and the characters are absolutely lovable and the art style is absolutely beautiful this game is 10/10
-
May 18, 2018A little bit better than the first and gives you the ability to now control other characters other than Sly. This isn't always the best as sometimes you wish you can just play as Sly the whole game.
-
Mar 10, 2019Great game sequel takes what worked in the first and expanded on it both in story telling and gameplay and trimed the fat from the first game. The game also looks significantly better than the first and also expanded the idea of being a thief with heists rather then a regular platformer with thieving elements. Over all good game
-
Sep 16, 2018story is great, characters are interresting, gameplay is smooth and feels very polished. one of my favorite games of all time.

Oct 7, 2018Increíble secuela que mejoró en todos los aspectos a su predecesor de PlayStation 2: Sly Raccoon.
Implementó un sistema de misiones de atracos en un "mundo abierto" que marcó al resto de la saga.
Extremedamente divertido y único, con personajes increíblemente carismáticos e inolvidables, que marcó muchísimas infancias (incluida la mía).
Muy recomendado. -

Sep 29, 2020Sly 2 Is An Amazing Game With Great Story, Gameplay, And Great Dialogue. This Game Is Amazing, 10/10
-
Jul 17, 2019Great game wish they make new versions for the new consoles out there, ps5 about to get released in November 2020 and this game just disappeared.
R.I.P this was one of the top 3 games (Hitman bloodmoney, Sly Series, King kong) i used to play in 2006. -
Nov 19, 2019Sly 2 takes everything right about the original and expands upon it, amazing game
A simple yet good story and mission is once again the backbone of this game but it is even more fleshed out than the original Sly game
Fun is the word I’d use to describe this game -
Nov 30, 2019To this day there have been few games like Sly Cooper 2, in every way a flawless game, from the graphics that have aged well, the unforgettable soundtrack, fully interactive gameplay, charismatic characters and a satisfying script, sly cooper is certainly a must play for all ages and shapes.
-
Feb 26, 2020Best game in the series! The story is almost too well written for a kids game. Playing as sly and jumping around really makes you feel like a master thief. And I also love the way you pull of big heists at the end of every chapter.
-
May 12, 2021I can't really see any negatives in this game, I love it so does most people, a masterpiece in the platformer genre.
I came back to give it a high score as apparently Sony only care about game scores on Metacritic, so I am here to support the game and hopefully help get the series to continue. -
Jun 4, 2020what a gem. still want it for my ps3 but man did i have a gewd time with both this one and sly3 those were the days
-
Jun 10, 2020This has such a noir, tongue-in-cheek mood. Sly 2 is one of those landmarks in aesthetic games that you might play just so someone watches you play it and its aesthetic looks cool. Its storyline and gameplay aren't that interesting but its characters are to fall in love with - Sly, Dmitri, Carmelita, Bentley, and its Arabian Nights graphics with its criminal suaveness.
-
Dec 22, 2020Sly 2 Band of Thieves is one of the greatest games ever made(in my opinion). It is my favorite game in the series and it is my favorite game of all time.

Jun 24, 2021Um jogo fabuloso, com grandes personagens é uma história fabulosa. Sem dúvida um dos melhores jogos da PlayStation 2 e traduzido para português.
-
Sep 23, 2021A very good game but it´s hols back from a prerfect score på one bad hubworld and a few bad missions.
-
Apr 25, 2022Best locations, best music, best plot, great dark atmosphere. My favourite game in the series.
-
Dec 2, 2021It's not just nostalgia for me I completely love this game. Other than the ending needing more explained other things just feel like nitpicks
-
Jun 27, 2022Sly 2 capitalizes on the first by introducing larger environments and maintains its great characters.

Official U.S. Playstation MagazineBeing able to play as all three members further fleshes out the mission variety - I couldn't tell you the last time I've had so much unadulterated fun playing a game. [Nov 2004, p.126]

Clever, enjoyable, and just plain beautiful, Sly 2 is an enjoyable interactive cartoon for gamers of all ages.
-
This is exactly how a sequel should be done, and if there's anything wrong with it, it's only that it makes you wonder how Sucker Punch can possibly make as big a leap with the next game as they did with Sly 2.
