Storyline
Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus
Born into a family of the world's greatest thieves, Sly Cooper was given the Thievius Raccoonus, a family heirloom that is passed down from generation to generation containing all of their best-kept secrets. When a gang of ruthless villains steal the Thievius Raccoonus it's up to Sly and his mischievous friends, Bentley and Murray, to reclaim the heirloom and restore honor to the family name.

Sly 2: Band of Thieves
Taking place two years after Sly Cooper defeated Clockwerk for the Thievius Raccoonus, Sly Cooper and gang embark on a mission to rob the Museum of National History of Clockwerk's parts. Upon arrival, Sly and friends discover the parts of Clockwerk are missing and embark on a quest to ensure Clockwerk is never reassembled.

Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves
The gang returns in the largest caper yet. Sly, Bentley and Murray assemble a crew of near friends and old enemies. Together, they attempt to unlock the one great secret Sly's father kept from him for years Ц the Cooper family vault. With the tireless Carmelita Fox on his tail and a jealous and maniacal Dr. M attempting to loot the vault, it'll take a team of skilled thieves to pull off this world class heist.
