Session fun rating: 8/10
Once again, as I watched the hockey game, I played Sly Cooper on the side during breaks in the action. I spent most of my time hunting for bottles in the new, prehistoric ice age area. I read online that if I found all 30 bottles here, I would get an item that shows the bottles on the map for the other areas. I used an online map to find all the bottles, grabbed my special item and went back to Feudal Japan and The Old West to find the remaining bottles there. My rewards were a medal that increases gold dropped from enemies and crates, as well as a magnet that makes collecting coins easier.
I then completed a couple of jobs in 10 000 BC. Once again, there is a bad guy who is from the present and is doing nefarious things in the world. His name is Grizz and he's a big black bear who loves wearing lots of bling.... As Sly, I took some photos of the area and found some of the parts we need for the time machine van. Along the way, we discovered that another Cooper was being held captive. He's presumed to be the first ever Cooper, a burly prehistoric raccoon.
In the next job, Sly infiltrated the enemy base to free his very ancient relative. After stealing a key from Grizz himself, I got a new costume, a tiger skin. This one is really cool as it lets Sly pounce on enemies from very far, creating some new platforming challenges. It's incredibly fun to use and it looks cool too. Using my new abilities, I was able to save Sly's ancestor.
The ancestor can't really speak, as he mostly just mumbles. He's big, hairy and very very stupid. Without much communication going on, Sly decides to name him Bob. Bob Cooper. We brought him back to base and realized that he was so out of shape, he needed to train to get back to form. The next job was a very funny bit where Murray trained Bob using a collection of 6 mini games. I played a home run derby where penguins were the ball, I threw penguins at pterodactyls using a slingshot device, I played whack-a-penguin, I balanced an egg on a tree branch using motion controls as penguins tried to make Bob lose his balance, I sumo wrestled a giant penguin and another mini game that I forget.
After practicing with Murray, the game cuts to a Rocky-like training montage where I had to play the mini games in a random order with increasing difficulty. It wasn't super easy, but I got it on the first try and got Bob back into shape. I thought this was a pretty clever mission.
