Takes everything about Sly 2 and makes it more of what it is - thievery motifs, heists, and a mission-based structure, which is almost always good, even though for hard-to-define reasons, I feel like it comes together a little better in Sly 2 overall. The villains are a little less interesting than the Sly 2 gang, but the addition of more playable characters is fun (although unfortunately you can only play as them in specific missions, unlike the core trio that are always available). Sadly, just like Jak and Daxter, this series' 4th entry didn't live up to the solid standards set by the original trilogy.
Was more flawed and drawn out in places compared to Sly 2, but still the formula of these games is just really fun and creative, with all the characters still being very lovable.
Ending felt a tad rushed, but it was still decently satisfying

A classic sly cooper experience, great gameplay and writing, with an emotional story and a great set of characters. It falters a bit in the level design, specially compared to its predecessor, but overall is a great end to the trilogy.
Great game. Played this right after 2, which I loved, and this one was also fun.
Liked the initial stage, was eh on the next 2 (australia and holland) and was thinking about dropping the game momentarily. Too much focus on new cast and too many eh missions, some even downright trash.
Game picked up in China for me and then the last 2 areas were phenomenal. Glad we got some focus on the main trio near the end, and a lot of good missions too. These games live and die by their mission quality which is why this game is an 8/10 for me while Sly 2 is a 10/10.
Oh and why the fuck did they downgrade Carmelita's Voice actress?

I think Sucker Punch just wanted the throw everything in this game for the grand finale. When it works, it's incredible. When it doesn't, it reminds me of Sly 1.
Sly 3 is a ridiculous and non-stop finale to such a fantastic line of 3D platformers. It aims to improve and differentiate itself from Sly 2, but keep the core formula intact. Gone are the formulaic heist, and in return we have some of the most varied missions in the series so far (for better and for worse). The inconsistency can be jarring, but the pure spectacle and charm of the team just putting in the most insane stuff and saying "yeah, this is fun", I have to give them props. The story wasnt as captivating to me, but I loved the concept the team growing, not just in size but in maturity as well. The themes of facing the past really hits, but I couldn't really get invested in the rest of the plot, as much as I did in Sly 2. However it starts strong and ends strong, and all the characters in the game get to really shine in both voice work and impact on the story.
I grew up with the multiplayer of this game, and it was the only Sly cooper game I owned. To think there was a Single Player mode too. Three of them to be exact!
8/10 :)

Italia un po' troppo stereotipata, ma bel terzo capitolo.
Not as good as Sly 2, but still very good. So many fun worlds and missions, but it's a bit bloated with how manu characters you play as and so on.
