Sly Cooper, Thieves in Time is tons of hours of fu

Sly Cooper Thieves in Time is a neat adventure as Sly and the Gang (plus more!) wander throughout history working with and rescuing Cooper Clan members from throughout the ages.
Each of the levels is big enough that if you love to wander around and collect things and watch and listen and discover (that's me!), you'll have many tens of hours of delight. If you like lots of challenges and mini-games, most are moderately-easy to moderately difficult. None of the challenges or bosses are impossible or require you to do them 800 times just to get to the next level. In many cases, you get to the "last third" of the boss battle and your boss damage percentage stays constant and you get new health to try again over and over (until you turn the console off.
I experienced a couple of bugs: In one challenge in the old west, Carmelita could never hit any of the bad guys while she was on the boat with the Wild West Cooper. A couple of retries and resaves and reboots of the console cleared it out. Another was the last bottle in the old castle level - it made so little sound it took forever to find it, even with the music turned off.
All in all, it was well worth the money and I'm going to play it again.
Peace

Worthy Successor to the Cooper Franchise

Sly Cooper Thieves in Time is a worthy success to the Sly Cooper series of games. It picks up with the story that was teased at the end of Sly 3 with Bentley creating a time machine.
The game takes you through different time periods where you get to meet, and play as, Sly's various relatives. These relatives bring new gameplay mechanics to the game, also in each world is a themed costume for Sly that gives him new abilities while he's wearing them, like the ability to slow down time, or to shoot arrows with ropes attached.
Over all, the game offers enough new things while still retaining the classic Sly feel. Bosses was never Sly Cooper's strongest point, and unfortunately this doesn't change here. While the designs of the bosses are all exceedingly well done as per usual, the actual boss fights are somewhat lacking.
Without spoiling anything, the final boss battle can more or less be summed up with three words. Quick time event.

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is the new entry in the Sly Cooper series. It has the same platforming formula that we have come to expect with some new modern touches to keep it relevant in today's gaming environment. The game has about 10-15 hours of gameplay and is very well paced so you will be through it before you know it. An additional feature is that the game comes with cross-buy and that gives you access to the same game of the same name on the PS Vita. The combination of playing this game at home and on the go will make it go by that much faster, but it is a unique feature that I am glad they included.

This was a good deal offered over Black Friday 2014. It is a nice change when you want a quick pick-up game with retro/fantasy shooter & puzzles and need a break from the grittier Call of Duty style of 1st person shooter.

I enjoyed the previous Sly Cooper games and l Thieves in Time was on par with the rest of the series. The characters are funny and charming in their own unique ways. My daughter loved playing through the story with me and playing as different characters was fun too. Being able to get the Vita version with the ps3 version was very nice and syncing my save file between the systems was very simple and fast. I would definitely recommend this game to fans of platforming genre or if your looking for a fun game to play with your kids.

This game was good, as ive played the others its definitely for someone thats a fan of the series. sucker punch makes good games as a standard soo its no surprise this game was on my radar.
platinum trophy was only a lil monotonous. collect all treasures within time limit, im lookin at you, but thats really only for trophy hunters.
its attainable, but if thats not your thing, the game was good on its own merits.

The Sly Cooper series started back on the PS2. Thieves in Time carries on the Sly Cooper series quite well. I think this game was a bit underrated by the critics. It's hard to find much fault here.

I had played the earlier games in the series, this ones follows the same type of story but with better graphics. Game play still makes it worth while, and it's not overly violent.

This is one of the best platforming games on PS3. I really enjoyed the look, sound, and feel of this game. Sometimes, the difficulty spikes and the combat isn't as fun as the platforming. But the game is still enjoyable and a great addition to the Sly Cooper franchise.

Bought this game because it supports PS3 and PSVita cross-buy. I can play it on PS3 or load it on PSVita and play it on the go. The gameplay is as solid as other Sly games. Overall, it is a great game.

If you are a fan of the Sly Cooper games on PS2 then you will love this entry. This purchase nets you the Vita version for free, which with cross-saving makes it a pick up and play anytime, anywhere. Solid gameplay, good story, stylized graphics and hilarious dialogue between Sly, Bentley and Murray. Purchase is a no-brainer!
