This isn’t just one of the best N64 games of all time it’s also one of the fondest titles from my childhood, a game I can remember playing while my Grandma and Mum watched from neighbouring chairs. Yoshi’s Story takes the 18th spot in our list of the best platform games. Yes, you can play as the good and the bad side in this game, with a different storyline for each.Īs well as an epic multiplayer mode, there’s also the Chao Garden too! Collect Chao eggs through the game and pick up items that change their appearance, paving the way for even more multiplayer action! 18. Sonic and Shadow’s levels are fast, Knuckles and Rouge’s levels are based around treasure hunting, and Tails and Eggman’s levels revolve around completing courses while piloting mecha warriors. You’ve got to explore and (shock horror) walk around certain areas as well as hurtling around like a rocket. The Sonic Adventure series isn’t just about running wildly from one side of the screen to the other. Just the first act of snowboarding on a plane wing down a steep street pulling off moves is enough to get you hooked!Īnd Shadow the Hedgehog, aka The Ultimate Lifeform has since become a fan favourite! Sonic Adventure 2 Battle is still one of my favourite titles of all time, however, with all the spin-dashing, chao-racing, Eggman-bashing goodness you could ever ask for. If you know your best platform games, then you’ll already know that this isn’t the only Sonic game you’re going to be seeing in this list. Take Timon and Pumba out for a stroll, follow the path of the film storyline, and enjoy one of Virgin Games’ most famous titles to date! 19. Gamers take charge of moving Simba from cub to fully-grown lion, turning from a floundering fluffball into a bona fide warrior.Īdult Simba has the ability to maul enemies rather than just jumping on them, making the latter half of the game much more exciting.Īnd trust me, the final Showdown with Scar is going to take all of your concentration! Why did they never let me pass… why did it take me so many childhood years to pass that point!

Heck, the music alone makes this game worth buying.īut those blasted Giraffes… they have toyed with my emotions far too many times.

So many things about this game are perfect, from the colourful graphics to the cameos from all of our favourite Lion King characters. The Lion King takes the 20th spot in our list of the best platform games of all time, and man does this game still drive me crazy!
