 LATEST UPDATE: PART 22: SMARTEST PARROT ON THE SEVEN SEAS (UNCUT VERSION) Sly 3: Honour Among Thieves is a "platform stealth game" according to Wikipedia and the third entry in the Sly series (Serperoth and I let's played the other two games here). Released in 2005 on the Playstation 2, this game is pretty much the same of what you got in Sly 2, except with some changes in our favorite thief-gang's moveset. Things... really didn't end off on a high note in Sly 2. With Bentley in a wheelchair after nearly having his legs bitten off and Murray leaving the gang, it's a broken Cooper Gang we find in Sly 3. After meeting with an old friend of Sly's dad, Sly and Bentley do however find out about the legendary Cooper Vault, which have existed for millennia. When they get there, they find out that the island it's laying on has been taken over by a baboon called Dr. M, who's been trying to get into the vault for years without any luck and has made the island into a fortress during said time. With no way to get in without some other gang members, Sly and Bentley sadly has to abandon the vault for now, while looking for new thieves that can help out. Serperoth will just like before help me with commentating on this game and every update will have a cut (no commentary over cutscenes) and an uncut (all talk all the time) version. This is being played on the HD re-release of the game, so expect to see some wide-screen issues. With that out of the way, let's play Sly 3: Honour Among Thieves!  Part 1: Beginning of the End (Uncut Version)  Part 2: The Lion of the Opera (Uncut Version) Part 3: Fruitful Precaution (Uncut Version) Part 4: Explosions of Venice (Uncut Version) Part 5: Revenge of Octavio (Uncut Version)  Part 6: Nature's Destruction (Uncut Version) Part 7: Unleashing the Dreamtime (Uncut Version) Part 8: Rumble n' Tumble (Uncut Version) Part 9: Daughter of the Mask (Uncut Version)  Part 10: Mile High Club (Uncut version) Part 11: A Really Bad Night (Uncut Version) Part 12: Dogs and Foxes (Uncut Version) Part 13: Black Baron's Brutal Beatdown (Uncut Version)  Part 14: Panda King's Pandemonium (Uncut Version) Part 15: Getting a Job (Uncut Version) Part 16: The Wrath of Tsao (Uncut Version) Part 17: Crouching Hippos, Hidden Pandas (Uncut version) Part 18: Trial of the Dragon (Uncut Version)  Part 19: Thieves of the Caribbean (Uncut Version) Part 20: The Secret of Dagger Island (Uncut Version) Part 21: Swashbuckling Around the Seas (Uncut Version) Part 22: Smartest Parrot on the Sevens Seas (Uncut Version)  Master Thief Challenges Part 1: When In Venice Master Thief Challenges Part 2: Rules of Nature Master Thief Challenges Part 3: Up in the Air Master Thief Challenges Part 4: Strike Like a Hippo, Sting Like a Raccoon Venice Gallery Australia Gallery Holland Gallery China Gallery   Name: Sly Cooper Our raccon hero and leader of the Cooper Gang. Coming from a long line of thieves, Sly was about to acquire the Thievious Racconus from his father when a ferocious gang of thieves called Fearsome Five killed Sly's parents and ripped the thieving book into pieces. Sent to an orphanage, where he would meet his friends Bentley and Murray, he wouldn't be able to take revenge for his parents murder until some years later, where he would also restore the Thievious Racconus and have a sweet boss fight in a volcano with the leader of the Fearsome Five, Clockwerk, while riding around with a jetpack. Despite Clockwerk falling into dangerous magma, his pure hatred for the Cooper Clan kept him alive and Sly had to find all the parts so that they wouldn't fall into the wrong hands. Even though the gang managed to find all the parts, Clockwerk still reformed and it wasn't until they took him down once more and destroyed his hate chip that the robot owl died. Now on the hunts for gang members that can help him break into his family vault.  Name: Bentley The brains and master hacker of the Cooper Gang. Used to be a snarky shut-in who only told us to jump and press the circle button all the itme, but appears to have gained some confidence and courage throughout the events of the past games and now is a central part of the team even during field missions. Having his legs crushed by Clockwerk haven't stopped him from being helpful too, as he decide to upgrade his wheelchair into something that Q would be jealous of. He can even steal stuff from enemies now!  Name: Murray Murray definitely took the events of Sly 2 the hardest and blamed himself for Bentley's paralysis. As he felt that he was a burden to his best friends, Murray left the team in order to get his thoughts in order and to quell his anger. Instead he went to Australia and found a shaman of the "Dreamtime", who told him to go on a soul-cleansing journey across the globe. Eventually ended up in Venice, where he's been told to not return back to his master until "the black water runs pure".  Name: Carmelita Montoya Fox Inspector Fox is still Sly's love interest, but she doesn't seem to have taken Sly's usual escape from her handcuffs at the end of the second game very well, and decided to toughen up and not take any of Sly's poo poo anymore. Or maybe that has something to do with her new voice actress, I don't know. In any case, she also ended up in Venice to stop the tar from flowing everywhere and, despite not having any evidence, knows that Don Ocatvio and his mafia gang is behind it all. Guess she's not that bad of a cop after all.  Name: Don Octavio As a young man, Octavio was a well known opera singer and was about to described to be the next big tenor... but just as he was about to become famous across the globe, music tastes changed and suddenly, opera wasn't very popular anymore. Furious, he was approached by some of his friends in the mafia, who recruited him into "the buisness". Octavio would soon reach the rank of Don, becoming known as Don Octavio, but he never really forgave the world for abandoning opera music and he will make it love opera again, whether they want to or not, starting in Venice where he's been pumping tar into the water for some odd reason.  Name: Dr. M A paranoid mandrill doctor obsessed with breaking into the Cooper Vault. Like, seriously obsessed. Bought the deeds to the island the vault is on and built a ton of defenses. Seems to like creating mutant hybrids that can act as guards, like gorilla-bat-elephant-horse hybrids, and some sort of giant King Kong turtle thing. Having had no luck with breaking into the vault doesn't seem to have helped his psyche at all, so we can probably presume he's insane.  Name: The Guru A koala and master of the "Dreamtime", as well as Murray's new master, The Guru excel in everything peaceful and some parts un-peaceful as well. Although he cannot attack on his own, he posses enough psychological power to take over the minds of others by jumping on their back, as well as transform into something completely different to the naked eye. This didn't stop violent dingoes to crash his humble tent and stow him away in a make-shift prison, but hey, he still has plenty of power for such a small creature!  Name: The Mask of Dark Earth If you didn't get this from the name already, this is an evil mask that has returned from the depths of the earth, thanks to all the mining going on in Australia. Unlike most other villains in the Sly Universe, The Mask doesn't seem to lead any sort of gang of his own, but rather takes over the minds of others, as well as enlarge them and give them more power. Clearly an environmental message: Stop digging in our sacred old rocks, or evil masks will appear out of nowhere and mess everything up. Also, there doesn't seem to be any concept art of The Mask anywhere, so all you get is this in-game engine pic. Sorry about that!  Name: The Black Baron A flamboyant and arrogant dog (?) who has controlled the dog-fighting air space for the last couple of years, defeating challengers left and right. thanks to his gunship blimps. Outside of that, no one knows much of him, not even his real name. But perhaps a silly thing as identity isn't very important when the unknown man is shooting down your planes.  Name: Penelope A genius Dutch mouse with a love for and exemplary skill in remote-controlled vehicles, Penelope is one of the Black Baron's mechanics, thinking that he is the best of the best, even going so far as to not join the Cooper Gang unless we beat the big mustache himself. Her love for tech and skill at Photoshop rivals that of Bentley's.  Name: Dimitri Lousteau A party-loving marine iguana who used to be part of the Klaww Gang, where he printed false money and sold illegal spice on the black market. After Sly defeated him, he seemingly turned from his criminal ways and became a simple dance instructor... but somehow, he found his way back in jail. Thankfully, Sly ended up saving him, and is now the commentator for the ACES competition.  Name: Muggshot A mean, gun-toting bulldog, who after being picked on by bullies, and with some inspiration from mobster movies, decided to start working out until literally half of him was muscle that could beat the crap out of anyone that had made fun over him. Used to be a part of the Fiendish Five, the same gang that killed Sly's father, but was beaten by Sly in Mesa City, thanks to concentrated life. Unlike Dimitri, Muggshot stayed on his criminal path and picked up a taste for dog-fighting between games, where he's renowned for his brutal and vicious tactics.  Name: Panda King After being turned down by Chinese royals who believed his firework techniques were lacking, the Panda King became a ruthless explosions master, who threatened villages with being buried in snow unless they paid "avalanche security money". If that wasn't enough villainy, he also was part of the Furious Five, the gang that killed Sly's parents and ripped apart the Thiveous Racconnus. After his defeat at the hands of Sly, he went back to his family and took care of his daughter Jing King.... until she was taken away by General Tsao, who also forced Panda King into exile, where he meditated upon his greatest defeat over and over again.  Name: General Tsao A sexist, disrespectful and ruthless dictator, Tsao is obsessed with his family line and want to make it the greatest in all of the world. He seems to have respected Panda King while he still was criminal, as Tsao wants to marry his daughter Jing King for the only purpose of uniting the Tsao and King bloodlines, even forcing Panda King into exile to make sure he would never interfer with the wedding plans.  Name: Captain LeFwee A pirate parrot who, despite his size, has become the de facto ruler of Bloodbath Bay (even though it's supposed to be a lawless place). Merciless, intelligent, egotistical and just kinda creepy, he might be the greatest adversary that the Cooper Gang has ever faced, if only because he's one of the few villains who keep an eye on their stolen stuff.

Echoing the Carmelita new voice hate. Her VA was really good in Sly 2 and easily the worst in Sly 3 (I forgot what she sounds like in Sly 4, so maybe that's actually even worse? I don't remember it being particularly bad...) Am I the only one who feels like the subtitles for Sly 2 and 3 should be switched? Sly 2's Klaww Gang had no honor, as they were using the Clockwerk parts to do their work for them, and Sly 3 is about assembling a band of thieves. Even if my reasoning on the Sly 2 subtitle is kind of shaky, Band of Thieves works way better for Sly 3. Not that they knew what Sly 3 was going to be about when Sly 2 was out, but still

The VA's a more prolific Cartoon VA as well (Grey DeLisle). 2's still her best voice though, I don't know what they were thinking with the accent but it doesn't really work very well.

Sly 2's Klaww Gang had no honor, as they were using the Clockwerk parts to do their work for them, and Sly 3 is about assembling a band of thieves. Sly 2 gets its subtitle from the fact that it's the first game where you play as all three gang members proper. In Sly 1, Murray was relegated to driving in races while the closest you get to playing as Bentley was in the final mission where he hacks Clockwerk's computer to save Sly and Carmalita which even then you were playing as a hacking avatar. There is a plot reason for Sly 3's subtitle but it relates to some spoilers regarding Dr. M's reasons for even wanting to break into the Cooper Vault in the first place. Oh and since Carlioo didn't mention this, the walrus in the intro cutscene is named Big Jim McSweeney and was introduced in a comic set between the second game and this one.

Dr. M must also be a reference to HG Wells' "The Island of Doctor Moreau", which involves a crazy doctor mixing animal parts together to create new creatures.

However, speaking of the comics, I didn't think I'd ever talk about them since I haven't read them, but I did find them online. Not sure if that's  talk or not, so I won't link them. In any case, the comics were released in 2004 and 2005, were created by Sucker Punch themselves and published by DC Comics, and both served as prequels to Sly 2 and 3. They're not too bad, but don't bring up any interesting plot points. Highlights of the second issue include:- McSweeny tattooing the picture of the front of an Italian museum onto his left hand (What  )- Bentley ending up in hospital after the events of Sly 2, but because he's been surrounded by guards, Sly and Murray have to break into the hospital to free him. - A naked statue of McSweeny in the Italian museum having nothing but a leaf in front of his groin (What  )- Sly being kinda creepy to Carmelita So yeah, the prequel comics, not too bad, but don't really have any good information about the games, they are only prequels after all. Melaneus posted:Dr. M must also be a reference to HG Wells' "The Island of Doctor Moreau", which involves a crazy doctor mixing animal parts together to create new creatures. See, this just make me want Dr. M's real name to be Dr. Mad Mandrill Moreau. If nothing else, it's a nice reference at least.

Actually as I said in the video, Murray still has the same voice actor and if I recall correctly, it's just in this chapter where he sounds bad, because you know, he's supposed to be all peaceful and whatnot. Dimitri also has the same voice actor as in the second game.

According to Wikipaedia, a gyrocopter (aka an autogyro or gyroplane) has an unpowered rotor for lift, and a propeller like an airplane's for movement. A helicopter uses a powered rotor for both lift and thrust. So yeah, that looked like it was in fact a gyrocopter.

This is a weird coincidence as I just bought and begun playing Sly 4: the series has been on my mind recently. The LP is going good. Look forward to seeing the rest. Maybe this was mentioned before, but why does the eges of the screen not change when the black bars show up? Side effect of porting it to 720(1080?)p?
