However, there is one weak link, in Sly 1 the cutscenes still use the old charachter model, unlike in the gameplay, it is also in my opinion, the worst in an exceptional serise. the mini games are fun and Sly 2+3 are wonderful to play, especially Sly 2. and even if I don't have a 3D tv, I can tell you this game deserves your hard earned cash. and the minigames can be played with a dualshock as well, so there.… Expand

   The Sly Collection contains the 3 main games of the Sly Cooper series, originally released on PS2.
   
   Sly Cooper games are pure 3D platformersThe Sly Collection contains the 3 main games of the Sly Cooper series, originally released on PS2.
   
   Sly Cooper games are pure 3D platformers with stealth elements. You play as a master thief raccoon named Sly, who is aided by his gangmates Bentley the turtle and Murray the hippo, who provide the brains and brawn of the gang respectively, whereas Sly is the master of acrobatics and thievery. Obviously it's a comical take on old '60s heist movies, and even the games' music reflects that.
   
   Sly games began as more of a pure 3D platformer, and by the 2nd game evolved into a mission-based precursor to Assassin's Creed, so to speak, and there are even some Metal Gear Solid inspirations (for example the enemy patrols have cones of vision). Every level is wide open, populated by patroling guards, and loot is plentiful. You can either pickpocket enemies or steal precious treasure and bring it back in your hideout. From the 2nd game on you can also play as Bentley and Murray, which breaks the monotony of playing as just Sly. In the 3rd game you could even play as a guest star for one mission in each chapter, but the core gameplay didn't progress after the 2nd game. This stagnation later led to the series' demise, even if all 3 games are great. Or you could say that Sucker Punch perfected the gameplay from the 2nd game and had little room for improvements.
   
   The art style is awesome, because it is cel shaded, like the anime cartoons. On PS3 the games run at 60 fps and 720p resolution. You couldn't ask for more.
   
   Sadly Sly Cooper is regarded as a lesser series than its PS2 peers Jak & Daxter and Ratchet & Clank, but I think Sly is the better of them all. It has a cute and great story, the music is perfect, gameplay is solid, and it has aged well. In comparison Ratchet and Clank games today look like archaic shooters, and Jak and Daxter games have bad controls. If you like 3D platformers, The Sly Collection is for you.… Expand

   though i am a big fan of the sly series, i was dissappointed by the new bugs, minigames and bad lighting and graphic glitches. now on tothough i am a big fan of the sly series, i was dissappointed by the new bugs, minigames and bad lighting and graphic glitches. now on to positive stuff i believe if you liked the sly games this is a must buy but dont be surprised by a few bugs in the game, sly 1 was a great ride although sometimes the buttons dont respond right away, sly 2 suffers from graphical bugs such as shadows, lights and very stupid AI, but was a ton of fun to play, sly 3 was amazing to look at without 3d and didnt have any obvious bugs, you also get 4 move based minigames that can be played with a controller but arent really worth it you should just buy this game without any move controller but if you already have a move than go for it. along with 3 classic ps2 titles you get trophy support, hd quality, 3d, and move compatible features as well along with a surprise for unlocking all 3 platinum trophies. The Sly Collection is another great reason to own a ps3.… Expand
