xxxIndyxxx: League of Evil is the kind of "modern" platformer that i really do not like. Looks floaty, looks like it plays like meat boy. Short levels that take seconds to complete, suited for ipad gaming I think. The ones I tried like this just felt underwhelming. If a level can be finished that quickly, I feels a bit empty to me. I did look into it and it looks like fun if you like these platformers. But for me personally it's a no go. Thanks for the suggestion though.

aJillSandwich: The fact that you don't like platform games with "floaty" controls makes me think all the more strongly that you would probably love the first three Crash Bandicoot games (the ones made by Naughty Dog). Those games had extremely tight and responsive controls!
Yeah like I said: I have them ;) Even have them originally on ps1 ;D

My mistake for not seeing that you already have them. Sorry about that.

You might also like Tomba, another PS1 classic. Also, Donkey Kong Country Returns for the original Wii is an excellent game and is very old-school in how challenging and creative it is. :)

Then you've probably already played all the Sly Cooper games...? If not, those are great, too.

Also highly recommended is Outland for PS3, which has tight controls and has a free demo on PSN so you can see for yourself how fun it is. Hope this helps. :)

Hmm Outland, was that the one with the blue and red colors? I think I played a demo and thought the controls were to floaty and the artstyle was too abstract, but I could be mixing games...

Still have it on N64. Was amazing when I first played it. Still good but hasn't aged as well as banjo-kazooie imo.

Tonic Trouble.

Very similar to Rayman 2. And can be had for less than $10 with shipping. It was made with the same engine used for Rayman 2.

"The Adventures of Shuggy" please if you choose mine.

I think you are describing Outland, except I thought it had tight controls... and by tight controls, I mean responsive controls, not loosey-goosey.

lugum: http://www.desura.com/games/distro-horizons-vs-galaximos-army

Distro Horizons Vs. Galaximo's Army" is a 3D collectathon project created by Kitatus Studios. Inspired by the greats (Banjo Kazooie, Super Mario 64, Crash Bandicoot, Conker's Bad Fur Day), Distro Horizons takes what made the collectathon genre so great and propels the genre into the modern day!
Looks good but since it's still not completed it doesn't qualify (sorry). Looks promising though. Will keep an eye out for it in the future.

Ciapcian: Hey xxxIndyxxx,
I choose some games I played some time ago on my PC and nobody mentioned about these in this thread:

Disney's Tarzan: Action Game
Disney's Action Game Hercules
Lomax
I-Ninja
Mini Ninjas

I don't know about availability of the games right now.
Have you played any of these?
I must have forgotten to reply you, I am sorry. I did played those Disney games all those years ago. Mini ninjas i completed a couple of weeks ago and had a lot of fun with. Lomax and I-ninja both look fun and I will look into both of them. Since I-ninja looks the most like rayman 2, i choose I ninja as a contender. Lomax looks more like rayman 1, looks fun.

Contenders:

lugum with Croc

emwearz with Jett Rocket

stg83 with Puppeteer

BranjoHello with Skullmonkeys (first to recommend it)

Ciapcian with I-Ninja

aJillSandwich with Outland


I will choose a winner today (late) or monday. Thanks for all the suggestions. I still take suggestions though so this list is not final.

What about Glover and Buck Bumble for the N64?

jcoa: What about Glover and Buck Bumble for the N64?
Yeah played them both. As far as mediocre to good platformers go on N64 I think it might be difficult to find one that i didn't play. I absolutely loved the n64 (still do) and a big reason for that were the amazing platformers that came out for it. I had a lot of them during it's lifetime and i have added the once i didn't have ever since.

You realize if you played the "golden age" of 3D platformers on the N64 and PS1 (and maybe PS2/Xbox), you've already experienced the best-of-the-best as far as that style game goes. You're going to be grasping at straws to come up with anything that even remotely contends with the known franchises on those systems.

Here's another few I can think of :

- Oddworld : Munch's Odyssey. Puzzle-platformer with a unique and quirky sense of humor.
- Metal Arms: Glitch In The System (For Xbox, PS2, & Gamecube)
