Sly Cooper can easily be dismissed as another me-too title, but players who overlook it in the glut of mascot games are going to miss out on something special.

Sly is quite dexterous and has a lot of moves up his sleeve, but this is thankfully not an issue, since the interface is so intuitive.

 Sly Cooper And The Thievius Racoonus (PS2) Preview
Sly Cooper is one of two big-name platform games coming from Sony for the PS2 this year, the other being Ratchet and Clank.
Sly and Bently speak timidly with each other, in less-than-sure tones and all of the dialogue is written as painfully obvious instructions on how to play the game and what is going on in each scene.
Playing as Sly Cooper, your task is to successfully jump, climb, dodge, and out-fight your way into the mansion and unlock the vault where the remains of the Thievius Racoonus are kept.

 Sly Cooper and the Thievious Raccoons - PS2
The intro to each area consists of Sly describing the origin of this particular villain, concluded with a cartoon-style splash screen, saying "Sly Cooper In: Fire In The Sky" (or whatever the name of the episode happens to be).
All in all, Sly Cooper is a delightful game that should definitely be played by anyone who has enjoyed a platform game in the past fifteen years or so.
The only thing that keeps Sly Cooper from being a must-buy is the play length; the game can easily be completed in under ten hours, and even with finding all the clues and completing sprints through the stages, the play length doesn't increase to more than twenty hours, at most.

 PS2 Sly Cooper Playstation 2
It seems that Sly has aspirations to become the world’s most renowned thief and with the assistance of his right hand man, Bentley, he is well on his way to achieving his goal.
In closing, Sly shows an enormous amount of promise and should help the PS2 hold its own in the platform arena against some stiff competition (aka…Mario Sunshine and Blinx) from the other consoles this year.
With Sly, Ape Escape 2 and Ratchet and Clank in Sony’s hip pocket, this should prove to be a very interesting year in the console platform market.

From the promising-but-frustrating original to the beautifully varied adventure of its sequels, the Sly franchise consistently sidesteps predictability as nimbly as its stealthy hero.
Sly may be a thief, but he's good-natured and honorable despite his shady vocation, bringing to mind the protagonist of Disney's Robin Hood.
That may seem surprising, given the nocturnal nature of most of Sly's missions, but the palette of deep purples, reds, and blues creates a rich, vibrant world that evokes the sort of big-budget cartoons that Disney created back when Walt himself was large and in charge.

Sly Cooper & The Thievius Raccoonus is the type of game that reminds old school gamers just what it takes to remember when games didn't need to be blockbuster titles in the works for years, or the stereotypical drawn-out flamboyance of most huge series today.

 Sly Cooper - Digital Press Online
Sly Cooper is as close as I’ve seen any game come to presenting itself as a playable cartoon, and Sly himself is just so well-animated that even controlling him and doing elaborate maneuvers (such as the slow-motion double jump) is as fun to watch as it is to control.
The characters in Sly are interesting, and could probably even support their own cartoon or merchandising (hint, hint Sony).
Sly’s voice acting is particularly well done, and comes across just as I imagine Sucker Punch envisioned him, smooth and confident, not unlike James Bond or Solid Snake.
