This. Sonic 3s realism is what sold it for me. Fuck Mario.

I'll take croc on psx or Saturn thank you.

I like old school platformers with a lot of style, cool power ups and action packed levels. I've played Sunshine and didn't like it because I had to collect coins and was constantly stuck in the same level replaying it.

Those isometric levels from ewj2.

Mario was more action packed.

N64 is great but croc on psx and Saturn is better.

Anyone else in love with this game despite it not being the best 3d platfirmer of the 5th gen?

But on my 2nd playthrough I cannot be bothered collecting every star again.bwould be much better with a new game mode with all levels accesable from the get go.

Can anyone name ONE genuine collecathon that's not a chore?

I'll start

They really needed more levels

Mario 64 is almost perfect 3d platformer.. If only Sonic Adventure didn't exist.

Coming from psx and Saturn croc I had high hopes this would be better. Any so called masterpieces you were let down by?

We already got fzero gx which was superior to x. What else could Sega have polished up and made fun?

Mario 64.

TALK about a let down. Outside of riding koopa shells all power ups are boring compared to the hammer suit ir the power ups in superior platformers like croc on psx and Saturn.

But having to replay a level more than twice is bullshit. I'm willing to find a secret exit but I refuse to replay each level 7 times. What were they thinking? Anyone else put off by this questionable design? Croc on psx and Saturn has a better flow.

Saturn and psx had superior platformers like croc but I just want to discuss nintendo. To this day I've yet to play another good 3d platformer on n64. Graphics and controls were top notch but replaying every level 7 times wasn't fun. Nintendo really should have made a Mario 64 2 with Mario 3 style levels.

Mario 64 was the best looking platformer and had the best controls. For whatever reason N64 games always got choppier and tried to hard to improve its graphics which didn't really work as Mario 64s simple graphics worked with the systems limitations as it was far weaker than Saturn and almost on par with psx.

Sonic Adventure could be another example as dc never had a platformer quite as good. Dreamcast graphics however did improve with time.
