Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is a wonderful start to Sly Cooper's newest trilogy that never was. It's really sad to see Sony not only not use Sly Cooper after this on the PS3, but the PS4 as well despite there being sequel bait at the end of this game. It really is interesting to see Sly interact with his ancestors and for each ancestor to have an interesting power that gets used during their world really helps set them apart for each other as well. The story is a big chase throughout time in order to stop the new antagonist, Le Paradox, and while this doesn't feel much different at first, there are plenty of plot twists to be had, and a great show down at the end that really seals the game's quality in a exciting way. Sly Cooper is also such a quality series that not only are the basic mechanics are back and in full force ala the style we are used to since the 2nd game, but character relationships are also continued in a satisfying way, the biggest being Carmelita and Sly's relationship. If you enjoyed previous entries to this series, this is certainly worth picking up and playing, but for those new to the series, I'd strongly suggest playing the other games first, least you spoil yourself
