OK. One sentence to sum it all up: Sly 3 is much weaker than Band of Thieves and Thievius Raccoonus. I mean, it's still a decent game, but its lack of visual style that Band of Thieves had as well as poorer designed control schemes are two of the major dissapoints.

See, Sly 3 goes completely against the visual style of the 2 other (better) games in the series. The game is chock-full of ugly and way-too-bright colors. Sly 1 and 2 were both at complete ease and over control with their visuals by immersing it into a dark environment and that blend worked beautifully. But the nighttime sequences...
