That sneaky raccoon and master thief Sly has been polished up to make his debut on the PS3 with a trio of games: Sly Raccoon, Sly 2: Band of Thievesand Sly 3: Honour Among Thieves. They're exactly what you'd expect. Sly sneaks around carrying out various missions with the help of his trusty gang, Bentley and Murray. He's pursued by detective Carmelita Fox, who has Sly in her sights (and, so it seems, vice versa). These are the PS2 titles with some remastered graphics for the updated console, so don't expect any major changes. But the platform games are still a joy to play, with stealth an integral element. There are also some motion control elements. Sadly, the Move capability is confined to some mini-games rather than any major contribution to the gameplay.
