Sly 1 : ★★★★
I started playing it yesterday afternoon and finished it tonight. What can I say: it made me curse a lot. I don't think it's super difficult, however, I lost so many times that I almost became apathetic. However it was nice playing it. I have to say that in general its settings are the most beautiful ones...it must be that being a platform game it gives you most articulated levels with more possibilities for stunts which gives off very adrenaline-pumping.
In my opinion Panda King has the best map and definitely the best boss fight. Clockwerk's map was just a whole boss fight which i loved and hated at the same time.
I'm glad I got to play it after all these years, it was definitely worth it.

Sly 2: ★★★★★
I don't have much to say here except that it's my childhood. It may not be a perfect video game for others, but it is to me. To play it again after 9 years made me so happy. Compared to the first one, it is an open world (?) The maps are not huge and vast, however, it is just fine. You feel that they are just right as it is.
After playing the first one, I really feel like saying they hit the jackpot by making Bentley and Murray playable (+ abilities) in Sly 2.
Compared to the first one I didn't find it as adrenaline-pumping, although there are a lot of guards and it's a snap to get caught, it's very cozy. Maybe that's the thing I like the most: being stealthy, not to be seen by guards and just going around stealing and stealing.
The screen that appears after completing a mission is absolutely superb and superior to that of the Sly 3 one.
I'm sorry that they didn't keep certain abilities from the first one like the Thief Replica... i would have had so much fun with that power-up.
Otherwise I love the plot, I love the missions, I love everything.

Sly 3: ★★★½
I got a little bored replaying it...
The story didn't excite me as much as it did with the first and second one... I understand that they needed to lengthen the broth, however, in my opinion Dimitri and Panda King were enough... can't understand the addition of the shaman and Penelope.
I am also sorry that they removed the bottles with clues GRR!
The part inside the Cooper vault was perhaps the best part.

To conclude as a fan of Sly Cooper i feel like saying that it lacks nothing as a video game. Overall I loved it and would replay it a thousand more times...which I will certainly do as soon as the obligations of my student life end.
