Well I wasn't expecting much to begin with, seeing as it's a crossover game XD I hope it isn't as bad as the Crash and Spyro crossover games… though their story wasn't as cheesy as this one.
And the funny thing is, is that Sly Cooper has never been into space, and Jak has never been to another planet…
As Bart Simpson would say…
"Uh oh. I smell another cheap cartoon crossover".
except it's not a cartoon. So it'll be more like…
"Uh oh. I smell another cheap video game crossover".
But seriously, you're right about Sly and Jak's situation here in this game. They're not sci-fi themed characters unlike Ratchet and Clank. Jak and Daxter are in a futuristic fantasy setting while Sly and his gang are from Earth in a classy modern time period. So I don't know how Sly and Jak would fit into this picture for this game.
Oh, by the way… We have Sly and Bentley together, but where's Murray?
(unless if this involves a spoiler to Sly 3 and a reason why Murray isn't in this game, Please don't tell me!).
I think Murray isn't there because they wanted a 'small sidekick' with each of the main characters.
But yeah this game does look very strange, but I can't help but be curious of the outcome, later in the year… XD but I do have a feeling the critics are going to hammer it, big time!
