    My favourite episodes would be:
    3. Jailbreak: There was something so great about seeing Bentley sat in the hideout alone right at the start of the mission. It gave the whole episode this sense of dread. It also subverted our usual expectations - we weren't out to break in and steal something, instead we were trying to break out to get free. It was a great scenario, and it was the first time the gang had really been split apart like that. It made them much stronger after they got back together. The revelations about the Contessa and the overall atmosphere of the episode suddenly gave the whole game a more serious tone. Overall, the missions showed off each charater's skills pretty well, but it's a shame there was no boss fight at the end.
    2. The Black Chateau: What can I say about this level that hasn't been said before? It's easily the most iconic level in Sly history. The music, the visuals, the sound of screeching cats in the distance, it oozes everything that is Sly Cooper. Dimitri is one, if not, the best adversary in the series. Sure he's not as important as Clockwerk or Dr.M, but every line he has is gold, making him one of the most memorable villains ever to me. The missions introduce you to each character well, and the level is a pleasure to traverse.
    1. He Who Tames The Iron Horse: I'm sorry, but when I think about which episode I prefer; this, or episode 1, I have to say that the one I have the most fun with is this one. The level is a sheer joy to traverse with every character. There was always something so hilarious luring Carmelita or the bear over to the guards and watching the fireworks unfold. Paragliding off the mountain is great (yeah I love the paraglider too Vivi), and it ends with a freaking train robbery. How can you not love a train robbery? You just have so many more tools at your disposal here as opposed to episode 1. It makes the level have an almost playground quality as you make your own fun, like wacking Carmelita then leaping on a passing train before she catches you. I can't neglect to mention the stellar music either. Even its placement in the game is great, it felt like a breath of fresh air after the claustrophobic confines of Prague. Bison is a particularly underrated villain as well: in his eyes, he's not even doing anything wrong. Even Sly said that, "back in his time, he would've been a hero". That line is a lot cleverer than it sounds, it shows that Sly is not a historical snob, and recognises that you can't judge people from yesteryear by today's values. I know it seems like a throwaway line but it made Sly a much cooler character in my eyes as it revealed a wise streak behind his cocky thief persona.

    The top 3 for me are really close in quality to one another. I have to say that Starry Eyed Encounter however is by far my favorite. When I was stressed out or bored, I would wander the level and pickpocket the guards. If I had to rank the open worlds of the series I would say Starry Eyed Encounter's world would probably be in the Top 5.
    1. Starry Eyed Encounter
    2. The Black Chateau
    3. He who frames the Iron Horse

Also th sense of finality here... Impeccable. No other game in the series ends as well as this one, the ending of part three notwithstanding.

    All the levels are fun, but believe or not, Anatomy for Disaster is one of my favorites! Yes, it’s shorter than the others, but despite how wide-open and spacey it is, you get to sabotage a freaking BLIMP! And to top it off, it’s the episode where it truly feels like the stakes are high. You have to keep Clockwerk from coming back, and when Neyla takes control of his body, you have to stop them both. Time is of the essence, Paris gets closer and closer, and Neyla (Clock-La) must NOT gain immortality! It just feels intense the whole time! And also, even if Clock-La succeeded and survived past the end of the game, Clockwerk himself surely would’ve regained consciousness and taken back control of his own body….

  • @tabreezsiddique
    @tabreezsiddique Před 4 lety +5

    So my personal ranking;
    8 - Anatomy For Disaster - You've already summed up the issues with this one for me.
    7 - Menace From The North Eh - Still keeps the relaxing tone of the previous chapter but the map is pretty haphazard to go through, especially as Murray guiding that bear. In addition to some frustrating jobs like the one with the bear caves and the RC combat club.
    6 - A Tangled Web - This one has that unique war going on between The Contessa and Neyla that the Cooper Gang use to their advantage which I like, but the map itself is still too open which makes it less fun to play as Bentley and Murray which you will because they have more jobs here then in most of the other chapters.
    5 - Jailbreak - A fantastic representation of the Cooper Gang's greatest fear making the point that prison is not where you want to be right now. Not many jobs though and a majority of them have you play as Sly which kind of just gets repetitive.
    4 - The Predator Awakes - Despite the huge map clearly built for Sly and going from point A to point B as Murray and the barrel sections, this whole chapter reminds me a lot of Vicious Voodoo from the first game which I really enjoyed. That and it shows us how Rajan's mood has changed since being outed from the palace, and even though it's not fun going around as Bentley or Murray, exploring the hub as Sly has always been a huge highlight for me.
    3 - The Black Chateau - A pretty great starting chapter for the game but it's mostly just giving us a taste of what to expect and nothing else. Paris is still a very memorable hub though.
    2 - He Who Tames The Iron Horse - The most relaxing chapter out of all of these with a really awesome map, one that there really isn't too much Gameplay going on for Bentley or Murray which is great. And after the intensity of the previous chapter, this was absolutely welcomed.
    1 - A Starry Eyed Encounter - Not sure why but the way this chapter was structured really shows off how amazing the heist setups are, the map itself is pretty distinct with unique quadrants to make it feel lived in, all the more reason why it's my favourite of the entire game.

It has so many memorable moments and I also like that the heist made a lot of sense and it worked out perfectly. I think it my be the only time in the franchise that a heist goes exactly as they planned it. Makes them feel like the perfect thieves, which gives the ending to episode 3 more impact.

    Some others missions like in "The predztor awake", when you need to pick up the 8 plants, are maybe just here to let the player chill a bit, between "action" missions 🤔

    1) He who tames the Iron Horse: This is my personal favorite as I pretty much revisit this chapter for a bunch of reasons. The tone and setting giving that Canadian type vibe as it's in Canada. Hoping onboard the trains to still the lungs and stomach, and messing around with the locals and Carmelita and especially Neela.
    2) A Starry Eyed Encounter: Now this one is my personal favorite chapter with the classic heist by distracting the audience until the moment is reveal somethings stolen. I enjoy the feeling of not only gaining access to a party but also sabotage the palace grounds.
    3) The Black Chateau: For the first chapter of the game, it does a pretty good job setting up what future chapters are like. It's home to the fan favorite Dimitri and yeah he's weirdly cool as well as his music. His plan on making money from the tail feathers is pretty smart as who doesn't love to be rich and sabotaging his night club is awesome.
    4) Menace from the North, eh: This chapter is basically a way to sabotage a lot of things. From the light house's power to power up a northern light battery, an RC car fight, the laser grid on ice, to even the lumberjack games. It's fun to mess around the resources and locals to get things done your way, until it turns a complete 180 by the end of the chapter along with a fun boss fight. Plus Jean Beason is a cool character, eh.
    5) Jail Break: A classic jail break story of getting help on the outside, and an interesting story of Contessa who's playing double agent by the law and secret Klaww Gang member. It's nice to see Bentley being force to overcome the obstacles to rescue his friends from being in prison and possibly losing them from attempt of hypnosis as seen on Murray.
    6) A Tangled Web: This chapter is pretty dark by having some magical and deadly stuff like death traps, black magic, both armies waiting to blow each other up, and Carmelita being worked on to be brainwashed under Contessa's control.
    7) Anatomy for Disaster: I personally put this a little higher as I do find some interesting moments that happen in this chapter. Sly getting a mega jump pack which is fun, Neela even betrays her own boss to become Clock-La, Carmalita and Sly shooting Neela right out of the sky and of course Bentley losing his ability to walk.
    8) The Predator Awakes: It's my least favorite chapter of the game, as I at times forget about this chapter. You do sabotage Rajin's spice operations by destroying a dam, his spice grinder, hand made communications array placing a bug in his office, and of course robbing Rajin himself personally. Nothing really scream out excitement, though the plot twist of Neela's betrayal is affected and Rajin's boss fight is alright.

    I kind of agree with your list, I don’t think I would change the order too much. And yes, number 2 easily my favourite in the trilogy.
    My personal top 3 in no order:
    1) Starry Eyed Encounter- fun missions, simple map to navigate
    2) The Black Chateau- no explanation needed. I absolutely adore the music.
    3) He Who Tames the Iron Horse- stunning scenery, I think the daytime setting offers something different. Top-notch music, fun missions, and we can take down that double-crosser Neyla. And gotta love trains, right? I always find myself singing the classic Thomas theme when I’m on a train, that’s how fun they are!

    Hey Vivi I was playing the latest sucker punch game Ghost of Tsushima and it turns out their is a hidden achievement called “Cooper Clan Cosplayer” and you dress up in armor that sort of makes you look like Sly especially with the cane on the headband and it’s starting to make me think are Sucker Punch completely done with the Sly Series or still thinking about returning to it with this little nod to Sly

    My top three are:
    3.) A Black Chateau - I think the only reason I put this that high is because of Dimitri, and all the missions are rock solid, but you can't help but notice that this mission lacks a lot of the verticallity that many of the other missions offered. It's definitely a lot of fun and Dimitri has always been my favorite boss hands down.
    2.) A Starry Eyed Encounter - This is a no-brainer. The open-ness of the map, the amount of map replay-ability is astounding. I love how there is two sections of this map, and the enemies feel great to combat against. The missions are excellent, and I think as far as mission selection only one tops this in Sly 2.
    1.) He Who Tames the Iron Horse- Duh. This is easily my favorite episode in the entire franchise. The missions are flawless. A train heist? Hell yeah! Riding Hot Air Balloons thousands of feet in the sky while paragliding? Hell yeah! Bears running around that love to maul guards to death and pick fights with Carmelita? Fuck yeah! This mission is an Ace. Loved every second of this episode, and to this day when I replay it, I always stick around for a few hours just messing about with the map and the environment before moving on to episode 7. I have spent at least 10 times as many hours on this map alone than on any other. Incredibly fun with just the right amount of challenge. I also love fucking with Jean-Bison in his cabin with Bentley. I would chuck his grenades at him and then he would freak out and start throwing dynamite everywhere frantically. Also all the little cabins filled with guards to provide the player a nice little brawl is awesome. So cool!

The tank missions were major weak points of course, but the climax of the operation going all wrong, the war between the Contessa and Neyla reaching its boiling point and the boss fight atop the gothic castle , made it such a blast to play

    The second one had terrible controls in my opinion, just because everytime the camera moved, the direction you were going followed the camera. Also, there was no ammo count, and the battle seemed so unfair due to the very easy probability of rolling down the tank.
