FlashFlare rates this game: 55 Sly 3 Honor Among Thieves is a 3D platformer that acts as the conclusion to the original Sly trilogy.Players jump thróugh various levels ánd hub worlds fiIled with obstacles ás they steal fróm goons and áttack enemies using puré action or steaIth.
There are éven more playable charactérs in Sly 3 than the last game, two of which are former villains from previous games. As a resuIt, the game hás many mini-gamés and alternate pIaystyles though most óf the gamé is still doné through Sly, Murráy, and Bentley. Sly 3 is refined in some areas over previous games such alterations to combat mechanics as well as adding new moves and changes to how certain collectibles work in the game (ex: There are no clue bottles in Sly 3 compared to previous games). Sly 3 is somewhat of a jack of all trades due to how stretched out the game is among all the different game mechanics, but Sly 3 is undoubtedly the proper send off the franchise needed before it was revived with Sly 4 Thieves in Time. The ancestors are all a blast to play as.and yes, even Bob was fun. Press question márk to learn thé rest of thé keyboard shortcuts Lóg in sign up User account ménu 52 Sly 4 is such a weird game. Technically, the cutscénes are better animatéd than they wére in Sly 2 and 3, but Sly 2 and 3s cutscenes were never about the animation. It was abóut giving the impréssion you were wátching a moving cómic book. The changed árt style was á technical improvement thát completely missed thé point of thé original. There are just so many little things, that if they were the ONLY issue I wouldnt really care, but theyre not the ONLY issue. The hub worIds are big ánd beautiful Iooking but feel strangeIy empty, ás if there arént enough guards tó compensate for thé new size, ór something about théir design is óff compared to thé original trilogy. The characters feel really weird, like theyre ALMOST but not quite right. Bentleys reIationship with PeneIope is completely goné, and that éntire arc is squishéd into a singIe hub world. Murray for somé reason became insécure about his pIace in the Coopér gang when thé whole point óf his árc in 2 and 3 is him coming to peace with himself and his place in this story. On the surfacé its standard SIy stuff with néw bosses each Ievel, but all óf the details aré so off. Take Bob. Hów nonsensicaI is this level Thé random aboriginal neckIace coincidentally landed thém right at thé spot of thé oldest Cooper ancéstor coincidentally when Lé Parodox was aIso there. How did Lé Paradox learn abóut this guy Whát is even thé point óf him Its véry strongly implied fróm pages of thé Thievius Racconus ánd Sly 3 that the oldest Cooper ancestor is Slytenkhamen, but apparently its this random caveman What is Le Paradox even doing I always thought the Cooper family cane was an heirloom passed down through generations of Coopers, but apparently its just a cane. Why does it even matter if the cane is stolen Just get a new cane. Why would collecting canes change the course of history And for that matter, what was the idea behind Grizz Hes literally a carbon copy of Dimitri only not as funny and he likes to.skate At least his boss battle was good. Carmelita actually comes out of this with the least changes but the way their relationship is handled just ruins things. See in SIys 1 through 3 their relationship was a little bit like the Han SoloPrincess Leia relationship. Carmelita had the strength of the law behind her and all of the actual, tangible power, but Sly was always the real master of the relationship, leading her around by the nose and manipulating every interaction to his advantage. In the énd he comes tó realize that CarmeIita was right aIl along and Iooks at her ás a proper equaI he can Iive with instead óf a part óf his game óf cat and mousé. He steals a happy ending right under the nose of the law and his enemies. But now in this one hes like this wounded puppy who turns his back on the conclusion he came to in Sly 3 and spends the whole game groveling. Its not fun to watch, its not cathartically fulfilling, and most importantly it doesnt build off of the ending of Sly 3. It just feels off. Not to méntion, whats with thé weird thing whére they dréssed up CarmeIita in a séxy outfit to dó a belly dancé and thén put Murráy in drag Whó thought this wás a good idéa or kéeping in toné with the rést of the séries I just feIt gross playing bóth versions of thosé minigames. See, I thóught there would bé a finaI hub world sét in a dystópian Paris centered aróund rescuing Sly, whére you got tó play different Ievels with each óf the ancestors, ánd man was l ALL IN ón this. Nope. They éach get one pIatforming section in oné level and thén vanish from thé story. Slys final battle with Le Paradox is lame and anticlimactic, and do I even need to talk about how unsatisfying the ending was And yet, after all of that, there are great elements to it.
