IMO it's R&C. Now before you get critical, I'll just tell y'all that I've been a Crash and Spyro fanboy for 10 years since their first game on PS1.

I've been playing R&C for 6 months, and it's much more superior than the others. I don't mind them, but Crash and Spyro aren't as good in comparsion.

I've always hated Sly Cooper. J&D is okay, but the R&C sci-fi universe is more appealing to me than the others.

Don't get me wrong, Spyro was great, but I can not compare to R&C at all. In story; emotion; character; universe, etc.

Well seeing as how Spyro and Crash kinda went to crap after their PS1 days, it's between Sly, Jak and Daxter, and R&C.
I never really got into the R&C series. I'm gonna have to say Sly.

Crash was it in the PS1 days, from PS2 to PS3 it's R&C

Jak & Daxter! Then Ratchet, then... ahhh the're all so close! I have to say Jak & Daxter is my favorite but all are really great platformers (Own them all).

If it was a PS only franchise, it would be this. But since it's not, I loved Jak and Daxter.

Jak and Daxter. R&C had a great first game but then it kept getting re-hashed.

I had the N64 for a reason... Banjo Mario Kirby.. But I liked Crash in the ps1 era, R&C now not because its good but because its the only platformer.

I loved the development in the Jak series from the first game (which was almost identical to Crash) to Jak 3 where you were in a cool new world with some cool guns.

For overall depth though and characters and very cool worlds, Ratchet and Clank likely have to take it.

I would love to see Naughty Dog remake Jak though. It would be amazing.

Just a footnote though, I loved Jak X the racing game. It had SICK depth and was amazingly fun.

I prefer Jak and Daxter myself, especially Jak II and Jak 3. It easily has the best story out of all of them, the difficulty is spot on, and it's fun to play from start to finish. However Up Your Arsenal and A Crack in Time are outstanding games that I still play to this day.

I really like R&C but I like Crash a lot on the ps1. I think I'll go with Crash, that red bandicoot was awesome.

I was going to say either Crash or Spyro until i remembered they ruined them when they went to the PS2, so now it's Ratchet and Clank.

I never liked J&D. I don't know why. I love R&C now, but I used to play Crash and Spyro non stop back then.

I know. I just wish that we had Crash and Spyro in 1080p. At least we have R&C, which is by far better. :lol:

Couldn't fit it, and besides it's a new and won't be a series until later this year. Everything there has been around for a minimum of 8 years, so they make the list.

I could never collect all the mushrooms in MGS. Plus, it was really hard to jump on the metal gear's head and make the star pop out. That's why it's not my favorite platformer, anyway.

What about MGS? Has everyone just suddenly forgotten about them? They've been around long before any of those series mentioned.......
