Jump, run, leap: the platformer is a founding genre of video games, from pixelated 2D to 3D worlds. RomWize re-ranks the best games in the genre by its re-evaluated scores, each with its current score, its versions, their rarity and their collector value.
"A darker and far more ambitious follow-up to Banjo-Kazooie. The ten interconnected worlds, the split abilities and the depth of its puzzles place it among the N64's true high points. Denser and at times labyrinthine, but generous and intelligent in ways the platform rarely matched."
"LittleBigPlanet 2 is even better than the original with even more powerful creation tools. Complete minigame creation, cutscenes and shooter games, LBP2 is an entire game engine disguised as a game. Absolute creative masterpiece."
"A sublime return to roots, handcrafted pixel by pixel by fans turned developers. Blazing speed, ingenious level design and a catchy soundtrack revive the Mega Drive magic, while the multiplayer mode extends the fun."
"Japanese release of Crash Bandicoot Warped, the third and finest trilogy entry. The variety of vehicles and level themes is exceptional. Naughty Dog delivers a flawless 3D platformer that remains a genre pinnacle on PS1 in its original Japanese version."
"Super Mario Advance 3 Yoshi's Island on GBA, port of Nintendo's enchanting island. Unique watercolor universe, perfect egg mechanic, overflowing creativity. An absolute GBA masterpiece."
"Spyro Year of the Dragon is the perfect conclusion to Insomniac Games' PS1 trilogy. Exceptional content richness, varied mini-games, new playable characters and phenomenal playtime. Visually superb and gameplay at its finest. The finest Spyro trilogy entry on PS1."
"A remastered double bill: Sonic Generations alongside a brand-new adventure centered on Shadow. The levels blending 2D and 3D race along at full tilt, and the Shadow segment adds fresh powers that energize an already solid formula."
