Product Description
-------------------
Sly Racoon puts the player in the role of a raccoon named, oddly
enough, Sly. On his eighth birthday, Sly 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 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 mini-games and fight bosses as
you proceed.
.co.uk Review
-------------
If you like the idea of Metal Gear Solid but could've done
without the 20-minute long cut-scenes, try Sly Raccoon, where
platform games and stealth-'em-ups meet in cel-shaded heaven.
As anyone's mother will tell you, stealing is wrong. Anyone's
mum except Sly Cooper's, it seems, because he managed to get born
into a family of morally challenged thieves whose most prized
possession is a book explaining how to execute all their various
cat-burgling skills. Ironically, as the game starts the book gets
stolen and it's up to Sly to defend the family dishonour and
steal it back again.
Although the basic gameplay of Sly Raccoon is that of a fairly
ordinary platform adventure, complete with linear levels full of
bizarre architecture and fairly dim bad guys, things are livened
up considerably by Sly's ninja-like thieving skills. As well as
having to duck and dive between moving headlights, laser-beam
gates and the like, Sly also begins to gain such enviable skills
as being able to turn invisible and use banisters as slides.
The graphics in Sly Raccoon are excellent too: cel-shaded so
they look like 3-D cartoons and very nicely detailed with
particularly impressive cut-scenes. There are downsides, of
course--the game's not terribly long and the stealthy bits take a
back seat to more mundane platform sections a few times too
many--but overall this is a classy adventure for platform,
raccoon and/or burglary fans everywhere. --David Jenkins
