Thieves in Time...FINALLY!

HELLO SLY COOPER FANS! Man, it's been a long time since Sly Cooper 3: Honor Among Thieves. Since Sucker Punch decided to not make anymore Sly Cooper games and focus on Infamous and the Sly Series ending in a cliffhanger (jerks...), Sanzaru games took over the Sly Cooper series. (HURRAY!!) Now, there is always worry about a game going to a new company. However, the results are the same as Dmc: Devil May Cry. It may now belong to a different company, but it's still a pretty awesome game. Okay, first thing first: Graphics. Love them. I love how Sanzaru games actually made Sly age a bit since he's been gone for such a long time. For his supposed age, he looks good! Murray looks pretty good as well. Still the hippo we know and love. Bentley, to me, looks about the same. Carmelita looks... different. I don't like her new look that much, but other might beg to differ. Idk, this is just my opinion. Next, the voices. THANK GOD THEY STUCK TO SLY COPPER TRADITION. I love the fact that they kept the old voice actors for Sly, Murray and Bentley. I am in love with their voices and of course we had to keep Bentley's voice the same. They also kept the tradition of changing Carmalita's voice actor. Her voice doesn't sound that bad in this one. I kind of like it. Ok, next on our list is the gameplay and story line. ...WE FREAKING FINALLY PLAY AS SLY'S ANCESTORS. We've heard so much about his ancestors that it's about time we played as his ancestors.  Maybe... just maybe... we can meet Sly's father and get to figure out what he finally looks like. The game also keeps its humor. I lost count on how many times I laughed at something Bentley, Murray, or Sly said. I also love the unique character of the ancestors. Some of them you'll love; some of them you'll hate; some of them you'll love to hate. And of course, it wouldn't be a Sly game if they didn't sort of break the fourth wall. The gameplay feels like a Sly Cooper game. It's the same controls that we all grew up with, but with a few new ones. I also love how the ancestors have their own unique abilities; something that makes them different from all the rest, like their different canes. I also like the costume system. The costumes that Sly recieves are very handy in combat. They are unique to each time period and a lot of them help deal with the guards much easier than when we were not in a costume. For instance, the samurai costume helps protect you against fire. It also allows you to deflect it which is very important during the Feudal Japan level. The only downside to the costumes is that Sly moves a lot slower in the costumes. Overall, I recommend this game to people who grew up with the Sly Cooper series and people who are new to series. The game is absolutely amazing. It might of been awhile, but it was worth the wait. Great job Sanzaru Games, and to all you Sly Cooper fans, good luck stealing all of those amazing treasures. Kudos to the people who designed them. Those are my thoughts. Voice of a Gamer signing out.
