Dougiefresh613 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Gave it a 2/10, it would be really easy to complete with a collectible guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCChad Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I voted 3/10. Some parts were a bit tedious but overall pretty easy and enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ressul Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Easy game though a few of the mini games can be slightly challenging. I'm talking about you Bob Cooper. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuke4U Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) I don't have the plat yet but after finishing the story and trying to beat these damned high scores on the arcades machines, I'd give it a 7, only because of these stupid arcades! Come on, I mean, I reach the end of it without getting hit to mush and I'm 5k below high score??? Looks like I'm gonna spend more time on it than the whole story itself. Edit: Ok just got the plat and now that I'm done I'll give it a 3 for the game BUT to beat the high score in the 3 (especially the 2nd) Alter Ego arcade is easily a 6 or 7, almost broke my DS3 here... So expect a good challenge there. Edited February 16, 2013 by nuke4U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAnkeT52 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I voted a 3/10, mainly because of the "Navigate like Drake" trophy, which made me go through many of the missions again just to find the last map I hadn't opened. I didn't use any guides for it but if I had i'm sure it would have been a 1/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arumat Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) About 60% trophy wise but 6 or maybe 7 for me. Some of those challenges(Hubba Hubba ) take way to many tries and they just go on WAY longer than they really should. That challenge was the hardest for me spent over an hour on just that one challenge. Edited February 16, 2013 by Arumat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkittleMonster Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I'd probably give it a 4/10. The only real frustrating parts were "Navigate Like Drake" and the two alter-ego arcades. Everything else is pretty simple and easy to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varkovsky Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Voted 4/10. Pretty easy game overall but the spark runner mini game can get annoying fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUM1SLY Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) I give it a realistic 5. A (1) would be a game you just put in and takes no effort at all to get the platinum. A (10) would be a game that is impossible or near impossible to get like a glitched trophy list. A (2) would be a game like the walking dead where every trophy can be got by just playing the story where you can make any choice you want an still earn the platinum. Theres a bit of hard stuff to do on this game thats why i voted a 5 like.... (Apollo wins) (Hubba hubba) (Cloud city) (8-bit bentley style) http://www.yourgamercards.net/trophy/a/SUM1SLY.png Edited February 26, 2013 by SUM1SLY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBurgSteve Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 (8-bit bentley style) Is going to be the end of a) my DS3, b) my Vita or more likely c) both. The Paris arcade machine is im-friggin-possible. Finish the first Alter Ego section with 400 points (mainly due to having to concentrate on just getting through the damn thing). Then, you have ONE shot at getting through the first Spark Runner (which I still haven't been able to do - haven't even seen that Mask, yet)... and no clue what comes next, since I can't even get that far. Looks like I may be giving up on this one pretty soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBurgSteve Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) If youve been using the restart checkpoint method it should be pretty easy. Any easy methods for the Alter Ego games? My best on the first one is like 1,500 (and somehow I'm supposed to beat 25,000? Not happening). Get grazed once and you lose a level, plus all the bits you had toward the next level. I'm not going to submit a vote, because 'stupid, unrelated task' is not listed. I'm done. No, really, I'm done. I logged off the PS Vita and onto the PS3 and got it in a couple of tries. For some reason, Alter Ego seems to be a lot more difficult on the Vita version. Possibly the smaller screen. Who knows? Plats number 22 and 23 unlocked. Voted a 5. Would have been a 2 if not for Hubba Hubba, Apollo Wins and 8-bit Bentley Style. Navigate Like Drake, Quarter Cruncher and Mark Your Territory were just time consuming. Hassan Would Be Proud was just annoying, because all I could get out of the rats was the swiss cheese for the most part.

Warbear Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Just got the platinum. I gave this a 3 because of the collectibles. Most of the trophies are very straight forward with the exception of Navigate Like Drake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwsGT Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 The original sly was an easy plat. But this is only slightly harder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskdocx Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) I went with a solid 3. I needed to reference a guide for a few of the collectables, but otherwise it was easy enough, although a few of the trophies are grindy, even though they aren't hard. Hubba hubba gave me fits until I realized that the beat of the music is not in sync with the timing of the button inputs. I would highly suggest turning off the sound and just focus on the timing. Got it in one try that way. For the arcade games, you must learn how to properly up your score. The hack levels are quite easy. The spark levels can easily be passed by taking advantage of the bumpers - these add 20 points per bounce. In some cases, you can just ricochet between bumpers, and rack up a massive score in a few seconds. You can actually beat the high scores without even coming close to clearing the level. The hardest are the Alter Ego games. The best advice I can give it to focus on the most efficient way to increase your score. I found that your level acts as a multiplier - so you need to focus on getting to level 10 ASAP. That said, once at level 10, ion bits are only worth 10 points each (1 point base x 10 multiplier). Enemies on the other hand are worth at least 50 points (the small flying enemies are 5 point base x10 multiplier - some of the larger/shooting enemies are worth more). The bubble barricades are worth nothing. In most levels, you can hang back and shoot a few extra enemies in some sections. If you are level 10, this can add a few hundred points. Never go for ion bits over enemies if you are at max level. Finally, pay attention to the 'extra' vortex - this is the part that takes you to the hidden cooper mask. I can't remember exactly which is which, but in one of the games, the vortex moves you forward, bypassing a big chunk of the game. Because there are no enemies in the optional path, you don't gain very much score by going this way. I don't believe you can clear the high score taking this side path (this is the 25,000 high score machine - I believe Japan). In the other Alter Ego machine, the optional vortex actually takes you back a bit upon exiting. This lets you repeat a section, which has enemies, and can add a few extra thousand to your score. Using this info, you should be better able to pass the high score. Edited February 25, 2013 by diskdocx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thingula Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I gave it a five, only because of the Arcades and motion controls. Without the motion controls, it'd be an easy 3. A lot of collectables (extremely easy if you use AR Treasures with a Vita), but that doesn't make it harder, IMO. Fun game, easy Platinum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8BitArtist Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 i gave it a 4. the six axis mini games were a pain. seems like no one really liked that. i also had a troubling time with Apollo Wins. that damn slingshot game. kept missing 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKsDragon Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I just have to grab the last ~5 masks and beat the arcades... I would give it a solid 4. There is absolutely no way I would have found most of these collectibles without a guide, and I would say any game that is difficult enough to force a guide is worthy of more than a 2 or 3. Plus the alter ego arcade scores are going to be a pain to beat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcolwander90 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I'll give this one a 3. It's more difficult than any game in the trilogy, but it's still on the easy side. Collectables are simple with a guide. Returning the treasures is easy with those videos guides giving you the easy path. The Arcade levels had enough tips/tricks to not be much of an issue. One's like Apolo Wins and Hubba Hubba can be a pain because you can get so close only for one minor screw up force you to restart from the beginning. It'll take some tries, but no where near impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrakeHellsing Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I got the plat on this game last week, but I'll give my opinion. Around about a 4. While some trophies were frustrating, such as Apollo Wins and Hubba Hubba and the likes... it wasn't all that difficult. Though yes, I found the Spark Runner games to be very annoying with my Vita and having to make it practically flat horizontally while I'm used to holding it up instead. Horrible feature for such an awesome game. But other than that, not essentially difficult in the end, especially with the guide for the Sly Masks to help me out... and a bit of a guide for the treasures when I was missing like one or two of them in the end.

VersionII Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Voted 3 only bc of the trophies. Not to bad, Story is a easy prob one of the easier Sly games. I tried for about 1hr+ trying 'Hubba Hubba' with no luck, gotta thank the devs for putting in the distracting hearts that follow correct button. Maybe it's my lack of sleep but I swear some times you can hit the prompt just as it hits the zone and other times you can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long3n Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Voted 3. None of them are difficult to obtain, but some are somewhat annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druoxrodest Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 3/10. Everything is easy. Only trouble was the Alter Ego arcade machine in episode 1. Took about 4 tries and I barely made the score. That, and you do not even need to complete the arcade minigames when you achieve the required score. Hubba Hubba was not so bad. I usually do not have a problem with side scrolling games. I only failed it because I was a little button-happy (I pressed at least a button early by a frame or two). It can also be hard to see the buttons that appear on the screen. Apollo Wins was pretty easy as you can get a mixture of the minigames that you are good at. This would have easily been a 2 if it were not for the episode 1 arcade machine.

zzamaro Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 4. Most trophies are easy. Only the Ben's training and Carmelita's dancing are the most difficult trophies. Carmelita's dancing was definitely the hardest trophy. It took me over 1 hours to perfect the dance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
