Good 3D adventure/platformer recommendations?

My girlfriend is into adventurous, third-person, 3D platformer games, a la the Ratchet and Klank series, Jak & Daxter (though she's not much into that one), Crash Bandicoot, etc.

Looking for some recommendations of games for her to play in this genre. Preferably X-box 360, Wii, or PS2 or any of the systems they are backwards-compatible with. I also have N64 and Dreamcast which have some good titles for this, but they aren't connected at all times. I'll still hear recommendations for them though.

Basically, "if you like Ratchet and Klank, you'll love _________". Quirky/under-rated games welcome.

for Xbox: Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath and Psychonauts for sure.

Dreamcast: Jet Set Radio, Jet Grind Radio, Rez. Remember for Dreamcast Games, u do not need a modchip to boot backups, u can download them, burn them to CD using Disc Juggler

Yeah, I'm somewhat familiar with the procedure for burning DC games, although it has been several years. My problem is I lost my A/V cables, lol. I haven't gotten around to replacing them. I have Jet Set Radio... never thought about it, but she might actually be into that since she also is in love with Tony Hawk games.

Thanks for the recommendations.

The Sly Cooper series for PS2 is excellent.

and of course Mario 64 is a must. I know most people have played it but I actually met someone who hasn't the other day.. I was amazed that some gamers have missed out on that gem.

Yeah, I already recommended Mario 64...she also has not played through it. It should be a crime, really.

Sly Cooper... good suggestion, I think my little bro owns that so it might be worth borrowing. Thanks!

Conkers Bad Fur Day, n64/xbox/360(DLC methinks)

The Lego, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, etc are pretty enjoyable if a bit simple.

Its pretty old now (PS1) but one of the best 3D platformers ever IMO would be Ninja: Shadow of Darkness. Its pretty hard but its very enjoyable.
