3D action/platformer games reached their popularity climax in the sixth-generation. Their kid-friendly-but-also-edgy art-style was pretty cool back then. I really miss them now. They are pretty rare these days, and even old series like Ratchet and Clank or Banja/Kazooie aren't classic platformers anymore.
Some of the series from the golden age of 3D platformers include:
- Jak and Daxter
- Ratchet and Clank
- Sly Cooper
- Ty the Tasmanian Tiger
- Nintendo GameCube platformers, like Wario World and Super Mario Sunshine
- and the list goes on
What is your personal favorite? Mine is Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, I always felt those games were underappreciated. I still pop the first one in my GameCube once in a while and play a few levels. I love those games.
