Replayed the PS Now version on a whim. managed to platinum it in a couple days, which is crazy because it took me months as a kid.

I still have my issues (the Mz Ruby chapter and god awful boss fight, the races, the twin-stick shooter sections), but I can’t deny this game’s charm. Muggshot and Panda King’s chapters are just a total blast and the art style still looks great. it’s definitely undercooked (especially compared to Sly 2) but it’s still really good fun. wish they still made games like this
