Sammo21 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I cannot believe how intolerable this game. I really enjoyed the first two games and even like the more recent game, but boy...this one isn't even fun. Had I not put so much time into this one I don't think I'd even bother finishing it. They even took the fun out of getting collectibles of any kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobahsi Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 This game for me was slightly more tolerable than 2 because of the reduced chapter number. The best part of the game for me were the airplane sections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elegy Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) I was somewhat jaded coming out of Sly 2, so I wasn't sure if I should go ahead and finish this game from my backlog as well or not. However, to my surprise, I found it slightly better than Sly 2. It still isn't a game I particularly like and I probably won't play it ever again, but finishing it wasn't as mind numbing. The combat is better in the third game compared to the second (better combat skills). I enjoyed the boss fights more as well. The precision for grappling and climbing is still just as bad as it was in Sly 2 though. I had some irritating moments on the ultimate gauntlet challenge because of randomly missing hooks or perch spots. This game's dialogue is slightly more humorous.. but overall not that great. I think the best change is the level design though. Getting around the world areas is much less of a hassle than it was in the 2nd game. I, personally, am somewhat over collectibles in games so I wasn't distraught to see them taken out. They are almost always useless filler. It is shorter than Sly 2 even with the challenges. I think it took me 12.5 hours in total, but some of the challenges were irritating. If the game allowed me to skip cutscenes and dialog it would have cut off a lot of time. I also noticed a few glitches in Sly 3 that were lame. There is a rare bug where the audio will cut out and cause the game to freeze up in the next cutscene. I also had a sound glitch where everything had some kind of static effect going on which required a game reset to fix.

x9zachattack5x Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 My order goes Sly 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 1. I don't get all the hate for this game. All the Sly games are great, funny and so refreshing compared to most games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmsdq Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I found 2 to be incredibly boring to the point that I haven't played 3 yet, which is really sad because 1 is one of my favorite games on PS2 period. I'm still going to run through this, but it's still one of my back burner games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
