    Sly Cooper may not be as popular as Jak and Ratchet, but his PlayStation 3 trilogy is the perfect candidate for an HD makeover. The Sly Collection packages three of Sony's very best 3D platformers into one budget title. Throw in trophies and move support and you have a must-own collection for anybody who loves a good crime caper!

    In a rare instance of low price and high quality colliding, this one's a steal worthy of Sly's thieving skills. [Jan 2011, p.82]

    It helps that the graphics have been revamped, and they bloom into widescreen HD. It's a given that they look better than the PS2 originals, but even more importantly they don't betray your memory of how good they looked. [February 2011 p 78]

    A great remastering marred but a few technical issues and oversights, and an awful mini-game collection. If you haven't played these games to death already, you owe it to yourself to see what you missed out on in the last generation.

    The Sly Trilogy marks developer Sucker Punch at its hilarious best, and even if you've only a modicum of interest in platforming games, there's no getting around the fact that this is a must-buy.

    You'll have three excellent platformers with The Sly Collection. It's a series worth revisiting.

    Despite the first game feeling a bit old, the second and third game of The Sly Collection are great. The graphics and controls feels surprisingly good and the games are longlasting. Sadly, some problems from the old games remains and the Playstation-Move support within the game is really just a gimmick and doesn't add anything to the experience.

However, there is one weak link, in Sly 1 the cutscenes still use the old charachter model, unlike in the gameplay, it is also in my opinion, the worst in an exceptional serise. the mini games are fun and Sly 2+3 are wonderful to play, especially Sly 2. and even if I don't have a 3D tv, I can tell you this game deserves your hard earned cash. and the minigames can be played with a dualshock as well, so there.… Expand

When I heard about this coming out, I ran to the video game store and got it. All I can say is, it's still my favorite games. The story is still perfect, the controls are still smooth, and the game is still fun. The only difference is the graphics are HD and little better than the PS2, and its all 3 games in 1 disk. I love this game, and I think people my age would like to replay the memories, and children will absolutely play this game again and again.… Expand

    After five years of dormancy, the "Sly Cooper" series returned in 2010 with an HD remaster collection handled by Sanzaru Games. Being that the "Sly Cooper" series is one of my personal favorites, I walked into this collection with high expectations. How did Sanzaru handle the porting? Pretty well I'd say!
    Off the bat, the "Sly Cooper" games still play fantastically, and the visual facelift really helps in bringing out the colorfulness of each game. Each title also runs at a smooth 60fps (unless you're one of the two people in the universe playing in 3D, in which case it's 30fps), and the game still runs ever so smoothly, never really noticeably dropping frames. And, as I mentioned, you can play the games in 3D which, as someone that owns a 3D TV, I can say looks pretty solid, even if it doesn't really add much to the overall experience other than some cool depth.
    Sure, the Move minigames are useless after one play and the games do have some bugs here and there, but all in all, "The Sly Collection" is a must-have regardless of whether or not you played it in the PS2 days. Go buy "The Sly Collection," now.
