Games similar to Ratchet/Jak?

[SlowCoder]

I've completed the full series of both "Ratchet and Clank" and "Jak and Daxter". My son likes the "Crash Bandicoot" series, but I never could get I to it. I was wondering what other similar series there might be that are available on the PS2,PS3,Wii or GC?

I would recommend Sly Cooper and Spyro the Dragon.

[+SpiceWare]

I second Sly Cooper. It was great on the PS2, and they recently released it as a collection for the PS3. It has all 3 games converted to HD, plus some new mini games.

 

I loved Spyro the Dragon on the PSone - it's why I bought a PSone. The music is awesome, it was done by Stewart Copeland.

 

Insomniac created the series, but only made the ones released on the PSone. The Spyro games on later consoles do not live up to Insomniac's work (crappy control, poor frame rates, etc).
