TOGP #55: "That One Game: Sly Cooper and the Thievius Racoonus"

That One Gaming Podcast

In this episode we’re discussing the first release in a beloved, classic Playstation franchise - Sly Cooper and the Thievius Racoonus! Released on September 23 of 2002, Sly Cooper blended stealth with action platforming with a cell-shaded graphical style and followed Sly and his two partners Bentley the turtle and Murray the hippo in their quest to liberate the titular Thievius Racoonus - a fabled book, and also a family heirloom of Sly’s that chronicled all of the thieving skills of his ancestors - from the evil group the Fiendish Five.

Each of the game’s five worlds revolves around one of the Fiendish Five and features a selection of levels that range from traditional platforming to other activities like racing or piloting a variety of other vehicles. Spread throughout the levels are also a series of collectibles like the traditional coins which grant an extra life for every 100 collected, or “clues” which are represented by glass bottles scattered throughout each level, and once all are found grant Sly the ability to open a vault found somewhere in that level to receive a single page torn from the Thievius Racoonus, granting him a new ability.
