4Today we see our favorite raccoon goes through on his next adventure in "Sly 2 : Band of Thieves"
Sly 2: Band of Thieves is a platform stealth video game developed by Sucker Punch Productions and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. It was released in 2004 for PlayStation 2. It is the sequel to the game Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus and part of the Sly Cooper video game series
Sucker Punch Productions began development a new installment to the series immediately after Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus had been released. The game was being advertised with multiple fast food and MTV advertisements. Unlike its predecessor, which included 6 levels. Sly 2 includes 8 levels this time around and there were also plans to make a 9th level, which was going to take place in Monaco, but was scrapped after the release date was announced.
Sly 2: Band of Thieves has a variety of changes, particularly in level design. The ultimate goal is to acquire Clockwerk parts, one or more of which can be found per world. Sly 2 features a health meter for characters such as Sly, Bentley and Murray, replacing the "charm system" of the first game. It also takes several attacks to defeat guards. Other changes include missions where the player controls Bentley or Murray, who have their own unique skills and are able to do much more than in the previous game. However, Sly remains the main character despite these changes to character roles. Skills can be unlocked by opening safes in each world, as the previous game allowed (collecting clue bottles), but skills may also be acquired by collecting coins and purchasing them from safehouses via Thiefnet.
The game received critical acclaim from numerous publications. Its varied gameplay, intricate story and unique graphics were praised, but was criticized for its lack of difficulty and length when compared to other platformers.[citation needed] Metacritic gave it 88 out of 100.[4] It received a runner-up position in GameSpot's 2004 "Best Platformer" award category across all platforms, losing to Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal.
It was awarded IGN's editor's choice award and GameSpy placed the game as #23 on their list of best PlayStation 2 games of all time.[2] Steven Petite of Digital Trends named Sly 2 one of the best PlayStation 2 titles, praising the game for its "laughs, charm, and excellent stealth mechanics."[22] Twinfinite included Sly 2 on a list of the 100 best PlayStation 2 games, applauding the additional playable characters for keeping the gameplay fresh.
