Where is the love for Rayman gone as Rayman 2 was a classic. Banjo,DK and Mario were great as well.

Sega has not released a good Sonic game since SA 1&2,maybe they are waiting for one of their own consoles to put a good Sonic game on.

I have not played Galaxy,but even Nintendo's latest(MS etc.)have not been as good as they should be.

I just got a PS2 a while back so I can't comment on the shovelware it has.

Yeah, platformers kick ass!

Klonoa is also a great platformer. 

I would consider Assassin's Creed a platformer, as the game is 80% hopping around rooftops, poles, and pretty much everything So, if you agree with me, then there's 1 platformer that's doing exceptionally well.

But yes, when there is a traditional platformer released, Mario shoots a star bit to stun it, then spinattacks it into a black hole.

2D platforms = HOORAY

3D platforms = mehh... except for mario

Apparently, the thread starter has played the perfection that is Super Mario Galaxy.....

platfotmers, RPG, and advanture are the best.

if i had money, and rare make it well, Banjo will be the first game that would actually make me really want a 360. loved it on the 64, and im still hoping it will come out on the VC *fingers crossed*
