After completing the previous Sly Cooper games I'm ready to tackle Sly Cooper Thieves in Time. Pages of the Thievus Raccoonus are disappearing and in order to solve this a time adventure is needed, a time heist!

Sly Cooper and the Gang are back in an epic new adventure! The critically-acclaimed Sly Cooper series returns with an epic brand new adventure for the PS3. The pages of the Thievius Raccoonus are disappearing and Bentley, now keeper of the ancient master thieving book, must round up the gang and save the Cooper Clan legacy from being destroyed forever.

Fun fact: throughout the game, you can see silhouettes of clockwork secretly watching you, it’s terrifying and a great hint for a sequel that will probably never come

[Baffle]

I love how in the wild west era the boss literally shoots and kills one of his henchmen. Then in the credits he dies from getting ran over by a train.

The problem with Penelope is that the betrayal comes out of nowhere. She looked up to Sly in the previous game and now she hates him because they could be rich and famous if Bentley didn't have any morality in what he created.

[trueblueryu]

One day, there will be another Sly Cooper game. I do have faith. It will take a long time, but it’s not impossible.

[GmodPlusWoW]

I still love that Jirard actually got a hook-cane of his own. Mad props to the one who forged it for him: I'm sorry, but I've completely forgotten your name, but I do know that you forged a wonderful prop for Jirard.

I always found it funny how Carmelita is voiced by a different actress in every game. Its like they couldn't decide what voice to give her.

[linksstruepower]

I recall that the lore within the series, the the oldest known member of the Cooper family was the personal Thief of a Pharaoh.
Seeing as Sly is trapped in the past, specifically Egypt, It's possible that he is either the progenitor of his clan, or the teacher of that specific ancestor.

[Joskilani]

As a MAJOR Sly Cooper fan, I love Thieves in Time in every aspect except for how the story and characters are, compared to the original trilogy. In the original 3, the game's writing was light-hearted but knew when to get serious, the characters cracked jokes with each other to show they were friends but when shit got real, they got serious too. It makes them feel more like real people (or anthro... whatever) and that's part of what I love about the games. 4 just kind of... doesn't do that. The characters are joking almost all the time, it's too much. Also, minor plothole that bothers me, but Sly's ancestors shouldn't know about all of Sly's moves. Like, Rioichi shouldn't know the rail walk or slide, since those moves were developed long after his time. That lack of attention to detail also hurts the game a bit in my opinion

[Manawolfman]

I found the twist a little annoying because of how the character in question is portrayed. Penelope comes off as very mean to the Cooper Gang, having almost nothing good to say about any of them despite what she went through with them. She used to have a crush on Sly and yet she now just hates him outright, and her motivation feels flimsy given how she's kind of living a dream with the man she loves, inventing time travel while sitting atop the biggest treasure hoard in history. A personal theory is that she has been hypnotized by Clockwork, something we know he has the power to do, and we know is still around since he can be seen the background of several levels. Penelope may have thought she could go back and stop him before he killed Sly's dad or the like, but ended up being defeated and turned into a villain herself. Without that, her heel turn just feels way too abrupt.

[VantasticJackson]

The story had a huge miss. It missed out on having Sly time travel to when his dad hadn't been killed by the Fiendish 5. Have the father and son work together

[zachnitiss]

I do agree that while I’d still have reservations about the plot twist, having Penelope as the MAIN villain rather than another lackey would’ve bee preferred.

It would’ve made the final boss fight more personal and they would’ve had more time to explain her motives.

[astroboy]

I miss Sly cooper, definitely one of the best games I’ve ever played

[geekasaurusrexy]

I love the Sly Cooper series and I was so hyped when this came out. I'll be honest, the art style change was a bit jarring, not in a bad way, just unexpected.

But I hated what they did to my girl Penelope. She was my favorite and I related to her a lot. I can sort of connect her arc a little better now that I've really thought about it, but at the time I simply couldn't understand why they had her betray all the character growth she went through in 3.

[GamebustersUK]

Sly's father is a missed oppurtunity, also.... time travel.. a certain mechanical owl that's been battling the coopers for generations... who you can see in the game as an easter egg.... imagine if he spotted sly in the past and realized he was from the future. That could lead to him learning he looses to Sly and wants to change his future.

[jaypruett]

"why aren't we in the 90's, hangin' with Mr. Cooper?" Ahhh, is see what you did there. That's a deep cut.

[lethauntic]

Hearing someone not trash Sly 4 is a nice surprise. Not because the game is perfect, because it's nowhere near that, but it's not a bad game. It's got problems, but it's fun enough to be worth a completion

[Howdoyouchangepf]

Fun fact: in the game you can see Clockwerk occasionally through levels eyeing over the cooper family line

[RaccoonFoot]

"Hanging with Mr. Cooper" absolutely needs to be the name of the level in a future game where they meet Sly's dad.

[doomzilla]

Good review Jirard. While it's an enjoyable game, it's easily the most devisive game amoung the sly fandom. It has so much potential that could have been fulfilled, unfortunately they played it too safe than taking a risk and made some questionable choices for this game that people have issues with.

The big elephant in the room is obviously Penelope's sudden heel turn. It is really abrupt and rubbed people the wrong way (myself included), especially after the events of third game. It was never hinted and was told rather very poorly why she went down this path. It's really out-of-character for her since she was truly nice and sweet to the crew, especially to Bentley. It's really mean spirited to poor Bentley as he does truly deserves the happy end after his trauma from the second game. It's really a gut punch that Bentley did not deserve.

I just hope after finishing off with the expansion of ghost of tsushima, sucker punch return to the sly Cooper series. It's a return that will be most welcome.
