Clockwerk! Sly Cooper fans everywhere know what I’m talking about. Believe me, I’ve played the big games, I’ve fought the bad final bosses. But this boss in particular left a certain mark in my mind. Playing Sly Cooper and The Thievious Racoonus was one of the most memorable time of my gaming life. I mean don’t get me wrong, I enjoy mindlessly shooting random strangers in the head and turn the floor into a bloody mass for hours and hours and then finally killing someone extremely ridiculously difficult to kill. But it’s games like Sly Cooper that always give you that sweet tingly feel when you think about them.
Fighting Clockwerk was something I will never forget, that amazing dialogue before the fight, those last words he says when you’re beating his head off. Everything from start to finish was mysterious and unnerving. Ever since the game begins, it gives off this sense of suspense for what or who the final boss would be. They reveal every other villain as the stages progress, but Clockwerk is not even shown until he appears out of nowhere to fight you! NOT EVEN A CUTSCENE BEFORE THE FIGHT! It just begins, adds more depth to the whole “what-the-heck-is-that-thing” feel.
Clockwerk is overall the most awesome villain I remember to date, he needs to be the final boss in Sly Cooper 4, somehow he needs to come back and make his fans happy! That mysterious thought of an owl actually putting robotic parts on him to live forever and kill the Cooper Clan is just cooler than cool itself! BRING CLOCKWERK BACK IN SLY 4!
