It looks like another generic Western-made attempt at the 3d mascot-platform genre. I will definitely check it out via demo or rental but I'm not expecting something worth buying.

This game makes me wish I had a PS2. ;_;
The cartoony aesthetics of the characters and environments are sublime. I'd say it looks almost like the outcome of a team-up beween Don Bluth (80's-era) and Tim Burton.
I've played through the E3 demo discs many a times. I really liked this game and will definately be picking up a copy tomorrow.
I got the same feeling here. We got the E3 demo of this also and I thought it was incredibly uninspired.Quote:

I was thinking about picking this up with some store credit later tonight.
along with Bust a Move 2!
I stopped liking platformers when they went 3D. Mario 64 was a huge disappointment for me. That makes me hesitant to buy any of the platformers this fall. It's funny, the transition from 2D to 3D changed the kinds of genres I like. For example, platformers are out, but racing games are in. I could never enjoy behind-the-wheel sprite-based racers, with very few exceptions.Quote:

I love the artwork on Sly and the reviews are strong, so I'll definitely rent it and possibly buy. I'm also looking at Crank the Weasel and Vexx, but I want to see a lot more before I get too interested.
Glad to hear you liked Sly. Maybe I can like a 3D platformer after all. :)
I love it. And the cut-out, cartoon-esque cut scenes are incredible!
I haven't liked watching a cut scene that much since Twisted Metal 2.
There's just something about 2D cut-out animation that I love!

Dammit.
