Best Platformer on PlayStation 2, Nominees
 
 
 Platformers have been a staple of gaming ever since Super Mario Bros. became a household name. Now the genre is dominated by 3D games involving equal parts action and exploration. Some of these still suffer from common problems, but a few standout platformers appeared this year. The following are nominees for Best Platformer on PlayStation 2:

Ratchet & Clank

 
 Publisher: SCEA
Developer: Insomniac Games

Ratchet & Clank skillfully avoids most of the traps that hold back the majority of modern platform games and presents a fantastic, well-balanced, story-driven adventure.
 
Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus

 
 Publisher: SCEA
Developer: Sucker Punch

The game's relative ease and very short length prevent Sly Cooper from becoming the next big platformer. But it's great while it lasts.
