The mixed reviews suggest it's a reflection of the older games. Buy in my eyes ... The formula is still great, in my opinion.

Which previous Sly game is it most comparable to?

The reviews I read didn't specifically finger any of the previous titles - they were general. They pointed out that it is like the older games, which is great for fans of the series, but it's not an evolution. More of an extension if you will. That is a + in my eyes.

Also, most of the positive scores point out it has flaws - long load times, wony camera and controls - but are minor compared to its good parts.

I just want to know if it has tight level design or is open world.  FOrmer I'll buy, latter I'll wait.
