After having a ball with the first two Sly games I wasn't sure what to expect from Sly 3, having heard it was not as good. While it isn't perfect, I definitely love it just as much as its predecessors. The game does overkill the amount of minigames vs. sticking to platforming near the end of the game, but the first at least 3/4's is great. Almost every mission involves multiple characters' abilities which actually give them better flow compared to Sly 2 and have a lot of variety. The writing, while admittingly more saturday morning cartoon zany, is funnier than ever and results in some memorable situations and dialogue. And the story, while overall not as strong as it could have been, has some good elements, like an interesting bad guy.
