Simon Windmill's Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves (PS2) article - http://www.gamerdad.com/detail.cfm?itemID=2699

Sounds like another solid sly adventure! So, the two player mode, is that in adventure mode, or a minigame kinda setup?

At the start there are three different 2P games, with more to unlock ([hide]duelling galleons[/hide]) later:

- There's split-screen "cop vs robber" play with one player taking Sly and trying to steal things, the other taking Carmelita and trying to catch him.

- A same-screen co-op version of Bentley's old-school arcade hacking minigames

- Split-screen biplane dogfighting

Incidentally, I didn't go into this in my review because I was trying for a different style with this one, working under the assumption that there would be more people looking for a simple "is this good? is it okay for my kids?" than for some of the other games I've reviewd. Do you think it worked?

that's cool! (the hidden stuff link)
sorry...I didn't notice a particular style to the review....

I re-read it again & do some comp reading :wink:

I think it'll work..SLY3's on our rent/buy/win list now anyway.

Compare it to my Metal Gear: AC!D review where I go a bit overboard, haha

I really liked this review - I thought it was focused and really gave a good idea of the game, and a good perspective for parents.

The MGA review ... well, it was huge.

Great review.
Brief is good. Mainly I want an entertaining read that does justice to the game quality and serves parents with what they need to know.

We just finished our third Sly and this review was really good. I was a little shocked by some of the dialogue from the baddies about women, but I suppose American's are hypersensitive about that type of thing anyway.

Really? Please elaborate, because either I wasn't paying attention or I just tuned it out.
