Sony Computer Entertainment America has given birth to many new characters, Jak & Daxter for example. But their upcoming game titled Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus is waaaay out there in terms of characters and the story behind the actual game itself. Here's the lowdown of the plot and you be the judge.
Sly Cooper (who is the main character in the game, hence the title) was born into the world's greatest thieving family. On his eighth birthday, Sly is presented with the "Thievius Raccoonus," an ancient thieving instruction guide passed down through his family for generations. Later that evening, a gang of ruthless villains break into his harmonious home to steal the valuable heirloom. As Sly watches in terror, the intruders overpower his father and split the "Thievius Raccoonus" into pieces, which they divide between themselves.
Ten years later, Sly is out to steal the "Thievius Raccoonus" back and reclaim what is rightfully his. He enlists the help of his gadget genius pal, Bentley, and his big eager friend Murray, and the trio embark on a quest to help Sly prove he is the world's greatest thief and to restore honor to his family's name.
"We are thrilled to have Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus as part of this year's premier PlayStation 2 lineup," said Ami Blaire, director, product marketing, Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. "Sucker Punch has implemented some remarkable details into this amazing game. When Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus hits store shelves this fall, consumers will experience one of the most innovative and fun action-adventure games ever."
Now if that doesn't intrigue you, then nothing will. Gameplay options include stealth, platform, vehicle, boss as well as mini-games. Look for Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus to hit store shelves sometime in September. It has yet to be given a rating by the ESRB.
