    Default A GREAT platformer!!!!!!!

    Is there a good platformer scheduled for Xbox, like Jak & Daxter?

    Or do we already have one that I'm missing???

    Not sure about anything coming up, but Metal Arms is pretty darn cool. I like Ratchet and Clank series, and Metal Arms is just as good, in my opinion.

    Yeah, but Metal Arms is not really a platformer.
    It's more like a FPS from behind the back view ala Ghost Recon 2.

    Well, there is crash bandicoot: the wrath of cortex.....it's pretty lame, I almost beat it though. Well, the closest thing I liked was oddworld: munches oddysey. That game actually was pretty funny!

    Of course.

    Yeah,
    I liked Munch's...as well. Didn't quite finish it. It got kind of monotonous towards the end.
    That's right, Crash 2 is coming out. I hope it's better than the first.
    Kameo is going to be a platformer?? When is it due??

    i really enojoyed voodoo vince, not much replay value, but a very fun game, you should give it a rent if you can find it, or buy it if its not to expensive.

    Voodoo Vince is one of the more entertaining platformers I've played in years...and this comes from a non-platformer fan

    Prince of Persia Sands of Time is amazing. That's a platformer right?

    Hell, I don't care if it's not, Buy it!

    Yep, game is great. First platformer I've really enjoyed in years. Unfotunately I enjoyed it so much that I went through it all in about 2 or 3 days.

    BG&E was probably the most under rated game of last year. Currently available is.

    Blinx: The Time Sweeper
    Odd World: Munchs Oddysee
    Voodoo Vince
    Beyond Good & Evil
    Crash Bandicot: Wrath of Cortex

    Coming Out:
    Conker: Live and Reloaded
    Kameo: Elements of Power
    Blinx 2
    Crash Bandicot: Twinsanity

    Those are all I can think of right now.

    Voodoo Vince was alright. Not much of a platformer fan.

    BG&E is a platformer?

    I had Voodoo Vince already, a little easy but a good game.
    I don't think Conker is really a platformer, is it?
    I have just picked up PoP, for the second time.

    I think I'm gonna pick up Malice in a week.

    Cray: BG&E is a LOT of things, and it does have a healthy amount of 'platformer' action. But regardless, if you haven't played this game, pick it UP! It's fantastic, and one of my all-time favorites. I plan on playing it again just to get every last item and see every bit of the world. Honestly, Cray, you won't be sorry.

    And there is always Sonic Heroes, which I've heard nothing extroardinarily awful about, but haven't heard a lot of super positive reviews, either.
