Like its predecessor, Sly 2: Band of Thieves is a stealth platform action-adventure video game. It follows the Cooper Gang, raccoon Sly Cooper, turtle Bently, and hippo Murray, who try to collect the pieces of the robot owl that was destroyed in the first game, Clockwerk. They have been stolen from the Interpol police department by Klaww Gang, its members using them for illegal get-rich-quick schemes.

The player simultaneously acts as three characters (Sly, Murray, and Bentley) where, in each open world, they pull of several small character-specific heists that build into one large heist. The gameplay is also freeform, where the player can perform other activities, such as looting from guards, from the mission currently assigned. This differs from the first game, where the player only controls Sly to get to the end of each level.[7] Many heists only require one character, but some are collaborations. Examples including Bentley jumping into Murray's arms in order to be thrown onto a tower's ledge, or Sly stealing keys from a truck for Bently to drive.
