I really wanted to like this one more than I did. While this game has a great cast featuring likeable main characters and fun set of villains for then to go up against, I find that the gameplay itself is okay at best and frustrating at worst. The platforming segments are mostly pretty alright, but almost half of the game is comprised of various mini games that just aren't fun at all. It isn't helping that most of them control terribly and as the game progresses through each world, these mini game segments become more frequent. The first world has one mini game level, the second has two, the third and fourth have three, and the final world has four, five if you consider that most of the game's final boss is a shooting segment that controls similarly to the other minigames. I want to bring special attention to the driving minigames in the second and fourth world, as not only do they control terribly, but the physics behind the cars are janky as all hell. In both instances it felt like I would have to hope the physics screwed over the other racers in order for me to win, rather than anything I did directly. It's a shame too because I think Sly controls pretty well, and is fun to play with even if there isn't that much going on his levels. Another criticism i have towards the game is it's health system, as without a lucky charm, Sly always dies in one hit. While i didnt take issue with this in Sly's levels due to their focus on stealth, the minigame segments are made even worse when getting hit even once forces a restart. While I didn't completely hate my time with this one, I don't see myself replaying it anytime soon.
