Platformers for the GF

Skeeter · 11 Mar 2011 at 22:54

My GF has decided she loves Little Big Planet. Apart from the obvious choice of LBP2, what other platformer style games are there she might also like?

Cheers

What about Portal in the HalfLife Orange Box ?

and not strictly a platformer, but the Lego games are very enjoyable puzzle games.

Ratchet & Clank and the Sly Collection?

Kirby's Epic Yarn on Wii.

My girlfriend went from LBP to Uncharted, bit of a random connection i know, but might be worth offering.

Got to second SMB.
This is the best platform I have played for a long time.
Won't be disappointed.

Ratchet and clank!

Some of the more recent Mario games maybe? Super Mario Sunshine on the GC was good if you have a wii/gamecube,

Not really what you asked for but as you have a PS3: My GF doesn't like games but really like Heavy Rain.

Generally, do you think it's the difficulty of the game that she likes or the easy going theme?

Donkey Kong Country Returns?

My wife plays gt5 to gta and has even tried to get ino pro but always goes back sims or rts with micro managment.

Maybe worth giving any of the lego series games a shot..also quite fun in 2 player

My ex used to enjoy Assassins Creed?

You got a 360 or just a PS3? Because there's quite a few good ones on live. Braid being one of them

My Mrs loves Plants vs Zombies, not a platformer but super addictive and has co-op. Supermeatboy is a great platformer but she might be put off by the 16 bit graphics style.

Trine, any of the prince of Persia games, maybe some tomb raider.

My wife loves Lara croft gol.

Several women I know are really into games such as:

Resident Evil
Silent Hill
Team Fortress
Left 4 Dead
Red Dead Redemption
