Sly 2: Band of Thieves stealing the critics' hearts

Just released to retail, Sly 2: Band of Thieves has been gaining critical acclaim over the past week or so. The first Sly may have slipped under your radar, but the sequel is well worth a play. As one reviewer noted, "It's not a mere continuation, it's a reincarnation" (Cheat Code Central Platinum). That being said, Sly 2 features some of the most creative character and quest, er, heist design to date, that all comes together in a perfectly integrated package of gameplay and storyline. Sucker Punch Studios has really proved the value of care and dedication with this one. Even if talking, fury animals isn't your idea of gaming paradise, we recommend breaking the rules, at least this one time.
