    What a load of junk. A wannabe steal game that gets punched, stomped on, and thrown off a 10-story building by games such a Splinter Cell and Thief. Actually, you can't even compare them to each other. Sly is a game that makes me feel like I'm controlling some cartoon character. WAY too kiddie and overall just plain crap.

    I got the game free off the Playstation Network for being a Plus member. I was expecting a poorly designed game that crapped on classic adventure games. I got what I expected.

    The only good thing to come of playing this game was it reminded me to go back and replay Banjoe Kazooie. Now THAT was a good adventure game. Also, the hardest enemy in this game was the Camera.

    Certes, il y a un peu d'infiltration ici et là mais ça reste un banal jeu de plate-forme avec des graphismes de dessin animé, un jeu de chiards en somme. Plutôt joli tout de même et toujours fluide. Dommage que la caméra soit inversée par défaut (quand on regarde à gauche, la caméra part à droite... et on peut pas y remédier dans les options !) La VF est excellente en tout cas. Trop niais,Certes, il y a un peu d'infiltration ici et là mais ça reste un banal jeu de plate-forme avec des graphismes de dessin animé, un jeu de chiards en somme.

    Didn't take long for this game to wear out it welcome. Floaty, inaccurate platforming doesn't lend itself well to a platformer. Missions try to increase diversity by having multiple playable characters, but aying as anyone other than Sly felt like a chore. Childish design mixed with adult level difficulty makes one wonder who this title was intended for. Slip this and go for Ratchet andDidn't take long for this game to wear out it welcome.

    the 1st game in the sly series is much different than it's successors, but it was a huge step for 3d platforemers in the early 2000's. the game has good controls, and the enemies all have unique characteristics that make you understand why sly is on this journey! the game does have problems though, such as the awful boat levels. it's still a classic though, and it holds up against ratchetthe 1st game in the sly series is much different than it's successors, but it was a huge step for 3d platforemers in the early 2000's. the game has good controls, and the enemies all have unique characteristics that make you understand why sly is on this journey! the game does have problems though, such as the awful boat levels. it's still a classic though, and it holds up against ratchet and jak.… Expand

    As polished a platformer as you'll find this year...Its sterling production values accentuate its smooth, sublime gameplay. Heck, even the mini-games are polished.

    From the impressive level designs to the brilliant cutscenes, this game delivers in all departments. I just wished that the experienced could have lasted a bit longer. [Dec 2002, p.36]
