Game description: Sly and his crew are back and ready to pull off another series of big heists. Word is out that Interpol has excavated the robotic remains of Clockwerk--Sly's nemesis and sworn enemy of the Cooper clan--and it's up to you to prevent it from being reassembled. To do this, you must once again enter the thieving world of pickpocketing, vent crawls, rooftop chases, and stealth attacks. Sly 2: Band of Thieves takes you on an adventure across numerous locations, including Paris, Prague, India, and the Canadian Wilderness.

Speedhacks: MTVU Enabled - Default Preset 2 (Safe) Emulation settings, 1080p, 3x Internal Resolution, and MSAA 4x with absolutely no lag during cutscenes and large maps like older PCSX2 versions. Also recommend TC offset X 280, Y 580 as best I could get to fix ghosting. MSAA doesn't seem to have any defects, except for slight texture forming which an untrained eye cannot see. Still has shadow bounding box issues in the titlescreen intro and a couple other areas. Alpha stencil fixes this but breaks model shadows. There is noticeable health bar bounding issues that flicker, but it doesn't bother gameplay. | |

Trivia
- Original names: 怪盗スライ・クーパー2 (SCPS-15090), 슬라이 쿠퍼 2 괴도 브라더스 대작전 (SCKA-20044)
- Also known as Kaitou Sly Cooper 2 (JP)
Known Issues
Outline aliasing
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: Because PCSX2 does not implement edge antialiasing in Hardware mode, many of the outlines are jagged (aliased).
- Workaround: Use Software mode.
Fixed Issues
Incorrect Line Upscaling
- Status: Fixed
- Type: Minor
- Description: When upscaling the game to higher resolution, the cel shader outlines become too thick and aren't in their right place.
- Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.
Incorrect Geometric Shadows
- Status: Fixed
- Type: Minor
- Description: Shadows of objects in the background or concealed by other geometry will render on top of objects in the foreground.
- Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.
No Dynamic Shadows
- Status: Fixed
- Type: Major
- Description: Dynamic shadows, such as on characters and mobile objects, are not rendered using Direct3D 11 in builds as late as 1.6.0. This can have adverse effects during gameplay, as some segments use shadows to warn of incoming obstacles.
- Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.
