3D PC Platformers..?

[Garrett]

I'm entertaining my niece over the Christmas period & as I've no console atm I'm looking to stock up on some ennui banishing platformers to occupy her.


I don't know if it's any good but I figured Rayman 3 at £1.99 is a no brainer, I've never really been a great fan of the genre myself, so any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks.

Yeah, thanks I have Trine 2 & love it, highly doubt it would occupy her for longer than 5 minutes though.. it's more the Mario, Spyro, Crash etc 3D style of game I'm looking for.

If you are a Linux user I believe there are several Tux themed homages / rip offs of Mario out there . Wait they arnt 3d ... disregard this

If you haven't already try Psychonauts. A little older but an amazing game. Looks great on the PC and isn't your average platformer.


Or try minecraft, not really a platformer but... I don't know how old she is but even younger kids can be creative and build. Definitely can hold your attention too.


Also Sonic Adventure 1 and Sonic Generations are both fun games. Sonic Adventure 1 more so, probably a little easier. And both are on the PC.

They may be old, but MDK and MDK2 are great games.
