Oddworld games (Odyssey and Exodus) were amazing - but I played on the PC.
Rayman 2 too, but I played it on the Dreamcast.

On the PS... hmm, Castlevania SOTN was incredible! Very metroidish!

You know... I don't think there was a single PlayStation Platformer I did like.

At the very least I can't think of any.

Tomba 2 was my favorite, followed by Spyro.

Is Castlevania SOTN a platformer? Cause you have to make jumps...and shit :)

lol I was wandering the same thing, if yes than symphony of the night all the way. Must have at least 6 completed games. With richter, axearmor and even maria on the PSP version.

Totally, my forums avatar is there for a reason...prolly still my most enjoyed game of all time. I played it and beat it on PS1, Saturn, Xbox 360 and PSP. PSP version caught me off guard as it has completely new voice work... Dialoge in the PSP version ain't that cheezy.

But yeah, if that is a platformer, then why are we listing all this other stuff? We have a clear PS1 winner :)

Crash Bandicoot: Warped is probably one of the best games I've ever played. With that said, Spyro takes the crown for that gen, for me
