Session fun rating: 7/10
As I was watching the hockey game on my computer, I played Sly Cooper between plays and during intermissions. I played a good chunk of missions in the Old West and got to play as Tennessee Kid Cooper. He's actually pretty interesting since he has a revolver. This means parts of the game now feel like a third person shooter. Don't get me wrong, it feels like a BAD third person shooter, but it's still pretty interesting. He has an ability that lets him slow down time and plan up to 6 shots in advance. This is used in a lot of the puzzles too.
There was a mission where Sly infiltrates a casino and sends one of Bentley's remote controlled cars to do some spying on the bad guy, Toothpick. He's kind of an armadillo I think, but there have been hints that he can transform himself into a much larger creature.
Somehow, Carmelita Fox, Sly's former lover, was captured by Toothpick! Kid Cooper can ride rails, exactly like Ratchet does in his games. I used this ability to chase down the stagecoach that held Carmelita. I had to shoot out obstacles along the way too. This was one of the better missions in the game so far.
Meanwhile, Sly, Bentley and Murray were captured in their van by Toothpick. Carmelita and Kid Cooper paired up to save them in a mission where they rode on a raft and used their guns to shoot at enemies until they reached the team and rescued them.
Finally, and I don't really understand why, we took place in three challenges around the town. Murray had to fight some dudes in a boxing ring, Sly had to race on his prisoner's ball and chain around an obstacle course and Carmelita had to win a shooting gallery challenge.
