New Super Mario Bros.
New Super Mario Bros. features the classic 2D Mario gameplay style, while using vamped up 3D graphics.
Sonic Rush
Sonic the Hedgehog has a new partner, Blaze the Cat, in this fast-paced platformer, Sonic Rush. You can play as either Sonic or Blaze as you try to track down powerful Sol emeralds.
Super Princess Peach
Finally, the tables are turned--Mario needs saving from Princess Peach in the Nintendo DS platformer, Super Princess Peach. Bowser is up to no good, and this time he has snatched Mario and Luigi.
Spyro the Dragon (PS)
Yes, it's taken some time, but there's finally a proficient, fully 3D platform game for the PlayStation.
Score: 8.3
Spyro: Year of the Dragon (PS)
The third game in the Spyro series is an obvious rehash, but when a game is as well produced as Year of the Dragon is, such a thing is easy to forgive.
Score: 8.4
