Sanzaru Games nailed the "feel" of Sly. The platforming is "sticky" in the best way possible—Sly snaps to poles and narrow ledges with the press of the Circle button, making the rooftop traversal feel fluid. Bentley’s hacking mini-games return with more variety, ranging from twin-stick shooters to side-scrolling rhythm games. Murray provides the muscle, with brawling sections that serve as a high-energy palette cleanser to Sly's stealth.
Sly fights through a pyramid and a massive airship battle. Le Paradox reveals he has Carmelita under his control via a brainwashing headset. Sly refuses to fight her, instead breaking the headset. The final confrontation is a one-on-one cane duel on the wings of Le Paradox’s time-traveling airship above the Nile. Sly Cooper - Thieves in Time -PCSA00068- -NTSC-
