Kirby Air Ride
Air Ride is actually a racing game that sees Kirby hopping aboard multiple vehicles from the series. The controls in the game were actually incredibly simple as you didn’t have to hit any button to go forward, just control your direction and use A to do everything else. There were also multiple modes including the normal race mode and a battle mode.
Super Mario Strikers
Mario and company have competed in tons of different sports over the years, but Mario Strikers is still one of the better sporting titles in the series. Strikers sees characters from all across the Mario series playing soccer together, along with some crazy special moves and power ups. The title put a fun Mario twist on the popular sport.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
The Sands of Time rebooted the Prince of Persia series brilliantly, changing it up into a third-person action-adventure game. The title follows the unnamed Prince who’s father is tricked by an evil Vizier. He obtains the mysterious Sand of Time, which gives players the ability to rewind time in a pinch.
Timesplitters 2
The sequel to Timesplitters has you taking control of one of two space marines attempting to stop an alien race from literally ripping apart history. It featured a single player and multiplayer mode, with single player being split up into 10 different levels. Each level focused on a different time period. The interesting concept and fun level design were more than enough to separate Timesplitters 2.
Sonic Heroes
Sonic Heroes was a bit different than most titles in the series, giving you a party of three controllable characters at any given time. The story had different episodes for different three-man teams, and each character had their own type and specialties. It may not be the best Sonic game, but it’s definitely a unique one.
