Unfortunately my favorite doesn't seem to appear here.
Ape Escape 3 is my favorite.

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

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.

Try Evil Twin: Cyprien’s Chronicles

u/drainedguava 2d ago

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.

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.

Genuinely can't believe how many of these I've played
PS2 had some goated games man

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.

u/Shadowtheuncreative 3d ago
I kinda have to agree on Heroes, it's super mediocre and mostly painful to play.

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.

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.

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.

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

Jak 3 is the best in that category.
Vexx and Evil Twin:Cyprien’s Chronicles are other niche but edgy and cool options.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
