Amazon.com Product Description
Sly Cooper and the Thievius Racoonus puts the player in the role of a raccoon named Sly Cooper. On Sly's eighth birthday, he is given the Thievius Raccoonus, an instruction manual passed down through the Cooper family for generations on how to be a great thief. But ruthless villains bust in and steal the manual, split it amongst themselves, and then vanish. Sly, along with his two friends Bentley and Murray, must embark on a platform adventure to recover the pages of the book and prove to the world that Sly Cooper is the world's greatest thief. Different skills, such as stealth tactics and platform jumping, are required throughout the game. You'll also pilot vehicles, play minigames, and fight bosses as you proceed.

 Youthfully Entertaining June 12, 2010
Joseph L. Prescott (Pennsylvania, USA)
Sly Cooper is one of the greatest "just for fun" games I've ever played. The game is geared toward a younger audience, in my opinion, but that fact doesn't deter me from enjoying the great things this game has to offer. There is a sort of youthful thrill that is spurred by sneaking around guards and maneuvering through laser security as a thieving raccoon. The levels are fun, simple, and most of all creative. The various ways for Sly to get from point A to point B in the levels are fun, (i.e. running along wires, climbing up flag poles, etc.).
One of the best aspects of this game is the side mission of collecting all the clue bottles in a given level. The clue bottles are scattered throughout levels and finding them is just as fun as making it through the level. Collection of all the bottles allows Sly to open up safes and learn new moves and techniques.
The only negative (in my opinion) to this game, is a small handful of missions that require you to play as Sly's friends, a nervous nerdy turtle named Bentley, or an annoyingly obnoxious hippo named Murray. But these levels are short, and gameplay as Sly is continued. (A heads up, Bentley and Murray playtime is drastically increased in the sequels, though by that time, they have been improved to be worth playing).
In short, it's an entertaining game, possibly described as "Assassin's Creed" for kids. I'd recommend it highly for anyone looking for a simple, yet fun game.

Ok i looooovvved sly ever since i was 9 i just loved it then my brother gave it away and i was soooo sad. Then i saw it on amazon and went crazy. This is the best game i have ever played on my ps2 and recommend it to anyone who has a console that can play them. Its a very nice well thought out games where you wont want to put down the controler ever. You can swing jump run sneak and alot of other awesome things you fight enemys go over lava and once and a while during game play you watch a small episode that leads you into another level of awesomness.
Great game! January 31, 2010
Michael Speakman
This game really is a classic for the PS2. If you don't feel like bothering with the current generation of games, then definitely check out this title for a fun, family friendly time!
sly cooper & the thievius raccoonus January 5, 2010
Ham (Michigan)
simple folks will be mislead by the "e for everyone" rating & the simplistic - almost childish - graphics.
but this is a classic.
you play as sly cooper, a young master thief descended from a line of master thieves. sly's on a mission - he needs to reclaim all five sections of the stolen thievius raccoonus, his ancestors book of tricks of the trade that was to be inherited by him. but, due to the arrival of the fiendish five & the untimely slaughter of his father, sly was placed in happy camper orphanage, where he met his future accomplices & soon-to-be best friends: bentley, the tecno-turtle genius, & murray, the hungry-hippo getaway driver.
the only issue that i encountered with the game were the camera controls in relation to sly's movement. too much action on the camera controls, & you lose sly. the angle of the camera dictates whether or not he can simply jump on a ledge, & sometimes a glitch in the game's controls would cause sly to fall, trip a security laser, or something else unfortunate.
the development of sly & his abilities, & the difficulty of the levels, were very balanced & thorough (although some boss battles seemed a little too easy for the chronological order of the game).
SLY I October 8, 2009
L. Scott (Pittsburgh PA)
My son loves the game. He had the other Sly games and this completed his set - for now. The supplier shipped the game right away so it was received promptly and in great condition.
