Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time was recently shown off on the PlayStation Vita.

In the linked article above, we questioned the idea of playing a console game on a handheld system. Regardless of where you stand on the issue, Sony is offering players the choice of experiencing the next Sly Cooper game on the PlayStation Vita as well as the PlayStation 3.

To that end, a gamer named SuperOrobi has just published three somewhat lengthy videos showcasing Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time on the PS3.

The first of the videos is titled "Mechanical Menace" which shows Sly Cooper decked out in Egyptian-themed gear as he enters a gigantic mechanical machine.

The second video, titled "Sushi House", puts players in the shoes of Rioichi Cooper, a Japanese raccoon who sneaks into a sushi house. He looks and moves a lot like sly, but he has the ability to leap across great distances.

The final video, titled "Juggling Act" has Sly traversing through a colossal circus tent.
