Episode 25 - Sly Cooper 2: Sucker Punch's Stylish Stealth Adventure with a few Sneaky Faux Pas

Deep Fried Gaming

Episode 25 brings us to the end of our first season. In this episode, we dive into a classic PS2 game focusing on a gang of three very slick operators. They bash skulls and steal whatever is in sight, but it's morally justified because they are cute and quirky. Of course, this game is Sly Cooper 2: Band of Thieves. The game is composed of 8 episodes in a heist movie styling and encompassing a handful of locations and villains, all with treasure ripe for swiping. Players find themselves in the shoes of Sly Cooper, the anthropomorphic raccoon and must slide, climb, jump and dodge their way around various levels in order to obtain the shinies that litter the game's worlds. With the popular revival of the Ratchet and Clank series on PS4 and PS5, its interesting to go back and play another classic Playstation platformer from the early days and see the inspiration from the title and what has been carried into modern experiences. After a hot streak of games that we just can't seem to agree on, will this arcade-stealth based platformer finally be the experience that breaks the pattern?
