Gameplay
Gameplay
Three arcade machines are available to play on: System Cracker, Alter Ego, and Spark Runner. Each arcade features 20 stages, each of which has five challenges for the player to beat (for a total of 300 challenges). Each challenge awards one token, and bonus tokens are sometimes awarded by unlocking certain levels; with each arcade machine awarding a maximum of 111 tokens. The tokens can be used to unlock the 65 prizes at Dimitri's Prize Gallery, which bears similarities to the Treasure Wall at any Hideout in Thieves in Time. The tokens are not spent, but each prize goes up in the number of tokens required. Unlocking the final prize will let the player use a secret arcade machine, which is actually a hidden entrance to the basement of Bentley's Arcade. In here, the Cooper Gang perform a concert to the metal version of the theme song of Thieves in Time as the credits show on screen.
Plot
Plot
Characters such as Sly Cooper, Murray, Carmelita, El Jefe, and flashlight guards from Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time hang out at Bentley's Arcade in modern Paris on their off-time, suggesting that it is non-canon.
Development
Development
Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time was planned to be released sometime in the fall of 2012, but Sony pushed the date back to February to give it ample room to release instead of in the middle of a crowded season. By September, Thieves in Time was complete and ready to be shipped, so Sanzaru began working on Bentley's Hackpack in secret.
