Flawed in some ways, mostly story related since it isn't as tightly made as 2's and the addition of several new characters bloats the cast. Gameplay wise, the game is great and provides a lot of missions that vary in objective and gameplay style. Sly 2 was more focused on very thief like things such as recon or trading with black market people, but Sly 3 goes harder on providing a lot of unique gameplay segments more reminiscent of Sly 1's abundance of mini games. I think it's a good package overall, and the core 3 are still amazingly written, though I feel they coulda made the Dr. M and Bentley connection stronger.
