Good Platform Games You Would Recommend

[Snownine]

So anyone know any good platform games to recommend? Any generation is fine. Mario and Sonic are a given, so others if you know them.

 

[Drexlor]

Little Big Planet is a good one if you have a PS3.

 

[Infinatex]

Earthworm Jim! Go hunt that shit down!

 

[Jon Etheridge]

There's a great online game called 'Fancy Pants' that's pretty addictive. Google it and give it a shot.

I love the shit out of Jak 2 on PS2 and Rayman on PS1 is awesome to

 

[Marter]

The Ratchet and Clank games are really fun 3rd person platformers.

And I know not many people will agree, but I thought Mirror's Edge was excellent, and it's a first person platformer.

Psychonauts. A million times, Psychonauts.

 

[RaphaelsRedemption]

Blast from the past: Croc for PS1

Actually, ALL my favourite platformers are oldies. Commander Keen, Jungle Jill, Knytt... Most of those are free, go look them up if you're interested.

 

[Wolfe-KuPo]

Psychonauts, 1000 times over!

 

[Nightmare-Child]

Brave Fencer Musashi, and Ratchet and Clank series.

 

[Blue Musician]

The only one I can think of and that I have played would be Psychonauts.

Commandeer Keen is such great little game, it is one of the first games I remember playing. I have never heard of Knytt, I will check it out.

There's a great online game called 'Fancy Pants' that's pretty addictive. Google it and give it a shot.

Thanks for recommending this, it is fun. I like the simple sketch style animation.

anything ratchet and clank, except Deadlocked, it was still fun, but it was less about platforming and more about tournament-style gameplay, which I personally enjoyed.

 

[acklumos]

The Ratchet and Clank series, the Jak and Daxter series, the first 3 Spyro the Dragon games, and the first 3 Crash Bandicoot games.

 

[Lost In The Void]

Well since a few people already said Psychonauts....I'll say it again, get Psychonauts, its cheap and one of the most enjoyable experiences you will have

 

[Flying-Emu]

Meat Boy is pretty fun, and Super Meat Boy comes out next month.

 

[sketch_zeppelin]

Gex (the first one only) was pretty sweet. Sly Cooper is supposed to be pretty good too but i haven't played it myself.

if you have a 360 i'd recommend downloading S'plosion Man. Its halrious, fast, and difficult.

out of this world and flashback are good too if you like puzzles with your platforming.

I had so much fun with Jak and Daxter 1,2 and 3 (mainly 3 though)
The original Crash Bandicoots on PS1 shit all over the more recent ones.
There seems to be a trend here OF COURSE IT IS NAUGHTY DOG!!!
I LOVE NAUGHTY DOG STUDIOS
Uncharted is also awesome however it is not a platformer just another awesome Naughty Dog game
Can someone mention a Naughty Dog game that sucked?

 

[Birdman1604]

The old Donkey Kong Country games? Or the new one once it comes out.

 

[Miumaru]

Does Mystical Ninja count? If so, that.
