20 PS2 Games That Prove It's The Best Console Ever

Truly one of the best sleuth games of all time, Sly Raccoon sees you play as a particularly sneaky trash panda as he tries to live up to his family heritage and become a master thief. The aim of the game is to restore all the pages of the Thievius Raccoonus, a family book passed down through generations for each owner to add their own techniques for stealing - which ironically, were stolen themselves by the fiendish five. That’s got to sting a bit.

Featuring a sassy Fox from Interpol, a Voodoo priestess crocodile, and a gangster dog running a sprawling gambling empire to name just a few, Sly Raccoon features some of the most imaginative and engaging characters to populate its charming world, and is animated in such a way that doesn’t let its age show though the game play.

Learning a whole array of stealth moves from spire jumping to explosive hats, there's a host of minigames to complement the main plot that you can practice your thieving ways on, making the game endlessly revistable from the first entry through to the third.

‘The Murray’ approves!
