“Sly Cooperis an absolute PS2 classic,”postedReddit user Alpacarok, “One of the best old school platformers with a very interesting stealth twist.”

You may believe that the only way to play this acclaimed platformer is viaPlayStation Plus… but you’d be wrong.

While PS Plus subscribers will be able to playSly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonusfor free, all users can purchase the game for just $9.99 if you so wish.

That’s not a bad price to pay for such a widely praised classic. If you’re doubtful of how an old game such as this holds up, you needn’t be worried.
