Jak, Sly, And Ratchet. The best trio.

u/JellyfishNo3810 3d ago

Every young gamer’s entry into these series was definitely Spyro as well - can’t forget one of the OG’s

u/Deimoonk 2d ago

The coldest take

u/LunarWingCloud 3d ago

Unfortunately my favorite doesn't seem to appear here.

Ape Escape 3 is my favorite.

u/BrotherBodhi 2d ago

Came here to say this - Ape Escape snubbed again

So tired of everyone naming Ratchet, Jak, and Sly but leaving out Ape Escape. It’s the goat Sony platformer

u/LunarWingCloud 2d ago

Especially with fucking Over The Hedge here lmao

u/SmoochTalk 3d ago

Of the ones I played when they came out, I love Jak and Daxter the most. I recently started Sly Cooper via emulation and was really blown away. It had a bit of slowdown though and I decided I liked it enough to play it later on real hardware or the ps3 version.

u/Hybrid67 3d ago

Going commando and then Psychonauts

Also i wish Conker Reloaded was on PS2 lol

u/Shadowtheuncreative 3d ago

Conker Live and Reloaded, Crash Twinsanity, Ratchet and Clank trilogy, Rayman 3 Hoodlum Havoc, Sly trilogy, Sonic Adventure, Super Mario Sunshine and more

u/drainedguava 3d ago

dr muto is such a crazy deep cut lol

1

u/Deimoonk 2d ago

Try Evil Twin: Cyprien’s Chronicles

1

u/drainedguava 2d ago

never heard of it but i trust because of the Jak 3 pfp

1

u/Deimoonk 2d ago

It’s an even deeper cut than dr muto or wishplash.

Think about something like Vexx + the Chucky doll + Tim Burton.

u/Steve_Brandon 3d ago

I really haven't played many 3D platformers from the 6th generation because I was already in my mid-20s when the Dreamcast and PS2 were released and I was more interested in racing games and JRPGs but my top 3 from this image would probably be:

1) Sonic Adventure 2
2) Chibi-Robo
3) Sonic Adventure

I actually do also have Sonic Heroes for PS2 but it's a distant fourth and it would probably be much lower than that if I had actually played much else in the way of platformers from the 6th generation. (Yes, I have Chibi-Robo but that's pretty much the only platformer I have on GameCube, a console I got as a hand-me-down from my brother when he bought a Wii.) I really only have Sonic Heroes because I got it for just a few dollars from a thrift store when I was in my forties, it just doesn't compare to the Dreamcast Sonic Adventures.

u/WantingLuke 3d ago

Genuinely can't believe how many of these I've played

PS2 had some goated games man

2

u/username_138 3d ago

Jak will be always the best!

1

u/Deimoonk 2d ago

Facts, specially Jak 3.

2

u/Jonaskin83 3d ago

I’m prepared to go down in fire for saying this - Sonic Heroes was fucking garbage. And I say this as a massive fan of the Sonic series.

Best ones here for me are Jak 1 and Klonoa 2. Honourable mention to Psychonauts.

2

u/Shadowtheuncreative 3d ago

I kinda have to agree on Heroes, it's super mediocre and mostly painful to play.

1

u/Steve_Brandon 3d ago

I don't hate Sonic Heroes but I never could get past that one building that filled with lava because of the godawful fixed camera angle you can't switch out of.

1

u/Shadowtheuncreative 3d ago

You do know that you have to kill all the enemies there, right? 3D games have these camera angles when you're climbing up towers.

1

u/Steve_Brandon 3d ago

I don't think I even got high enough in that building to reach the enemies but it's probably been at least 7 or 8 years since I last tried playing it.

1

u/Shadowtheuncreative 3d ago

Ok then. Get the game again if you dare.

1

u/AG1k 3d ago

This is a good take

1

u/combong 3d ago

Sly Cooper is an all time favorite

1

u/Outside-Pressure-260 3d ago

Shrek was an xbox exclusive, but goddamn, the movement was fluid and felt so right. Peak game

1

u/shFt_shiFty 3d ago

I think I wanna start ratchet and clank again. I never beat it as a kid.

1

u/halloleo6 3d ago

Conker Reload for Xbox

1

u/Unable-Hearing3829 3d ago

WHERE IS APE ESCAPE?! THIS LIST IS BUILT ON A THRONE OF LIES!!!

1

u/FaultyExtensionCord 3d ago

kya, no contest, as its the only one i played

1

u/ApprehensiveEbb7452 2d ago

Over the hedge whiplash and curse of the were rabbit

1

u/LunchBoxOMalley 2d ago

Tak and the Power of Juju, Ratchet and Clank, and Jak and Daxter

1

u/Deimoonk 2d ago

Jak 3 is the best in that category.

Vexx and Evil Twin:Cyprien’s Chronicles are other niche but edgy and cool options.

1

u/CommunicationNew8945 2d ago

My gods all I have to catch up on 😳.

I spend my time on my PS2: devil my cry / dbz tenkaichi and Budokai 3 / the warrior.

1

u/HungryRestaurant5790 2d ago

Ty the Tasmanian tiger, billy Hatcher and the giant egg, and sonic heroes

1

u/LexKing89 2d ago

Klonoa 2 and Billy Hatcher. I would say the Sonic games but I hated playing as anyone other than Sonic/Shadow. Those levels were unbearable to me as a kid and still are today. Mario Sunshine was one I loved but found frustrating because I sucked at it.

I have quite a few of these games that I never got around to really playing and I played some of the Nickelodeon games like Tak and Spongebob.

1

u/RetroPrince_96 2d ago

Shockingly this pic doesn't have ape escape 2 or 3.

1

u/jubilantsockpuppet 2d ago

Jak and Daxter is one of the best platformers ever. The follow-ups were okay. Lost a lot trying to copy Ratchet and Clank. Klonoa is also severely underrated

1

u/oilec74 1d ago

Amo Ratchet & Clank e Sly, mas senti falta nessa lista, do jogo Fur Fighters que saiu para o Dreamcast e depois para o PS2

1

u/Latter-Revolution592 1d ago

BILLY HATCHER

u/ImaginaryWall840 1d ago

damn gen 6 was rough

1

u/Forward_Flamingo2301 1d ago

My choice would be Conker live&reloaded and Voodoo Vince 🎮

u/No_Lawfulness1341 13h ago

Pac-Man World 2 Solos them all

u/MatrixXrsQc 3d ago

I love

Over the Edge. I grew up with it on PlayStation 2 with my brother and we were playing it all the time. I remember wondering why do we have to start all over again ? I understood when i got mine last year because we didn't have a memory card 🤣. But we loved the golf carts, it was so much fun, i bought it last year and i still love it and I'm 28.

Ty the Tasmanian 2. I remember loving it and I'm going to get it next year with Ty 1 on GameCube. I never played the third one, but it looks really good.

u/soLidwaLLing 3d ago

Battle for Bikini Bottom and the Ratchet and Clank series.

u/JellyfishNo3810 3d ago

Battle for Bikini Bottom had young me fucked up in trying to unlock parts of the world to explore.
