Sly Cooper is a series of stealth and action-adventure and video games for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. The series follows the adventures of Sly Cooper, an anthropomorphic raccoon and master thief, along with his two partners in crime, Bentley the turtle and Murray the hippopotamus, all of whom are pursued by Sly's love interest, Inspector Carmelita Fox. The first three games in the series were developed by Sucker Punch Productions, while Sanzaru Games developed the fourth. The first three games were also remastered into high-definition for the PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation Vita by Sanzaru Games, in a compilation titled The Sly Collection.
Sly Cooper himself has become one of the most popular of the Sony video game characters, and has appeared in other Sony games such as cross-overs PlayStation Move Heroes and PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. The series has spawned two comic books and the 2013 spin-off game Bentley's Hackpack. Both an animated feature film and television series based on the series have also been in development, but neither has released.[1][2][3]
