Reccomend me a game like Maximo

I needed to chill out with a fun, not to difficult game so I decided to pop Maxmo into my PS2 and start playing that again. Although I really love the game I'd rather find a different, but fairly similar 3d platformer to relax with, something not too hard but with a decent amount of challenge if I want it, eg, no collectothons. I hated the gameplay of Jak and Daxter as it was simple running around and collecting random shit, in my opinion the laziest form of games design. So, can anyone reccomend me a decent, fun platformer that looks nice, has a lot of character and charm, has great game mechanics and has a decent level of challenge (but not insanley though)?
The last 3d platformer I went through was Sly Cooper 3 which I thorougly enjoyed thanks to the huge amount of variety in the missions and great presentation (EDIT: Now I think about it, the last one was actually Psyconauts). I have a 360, Ps2, PSP, DS, PC and gamecube so reccomend away, and by the way I'v already gone through Maxmio 2.
Smilar games I have already played and enjoyed
Maximo 1/2
Psyconauts
Sly Cooper 3
Super Mario Sunshine
Super Mario 64
Sonic Adventure 1/2/Heroes
I could just go for sequels/prequels but I fancy something new
EDIT 2: I enjoy screwing around on Assasin's Creed, but what I'v seen of the real game, eg, the missions and such is that it's the same thing over and over again and apparentley very easy and reppetative in terms of combat. I'v been tempted to buy this for a while but the 'meat' of the game has put me off buying it for a while now. Shoving guys off rooftops is very fun but it seems like there is no challange in the real game whatsoever.

Because those are all 3D Platformer Perfection.

I'm a dumbass. Nevermind. I'll leave my original suggestion up as a sign of shame.
PSN ID : HBoxx
Edit: But not quite as good.
Edit2: And seriously, ICO and Shadow of the Colossus.
Seriously, they are both exactly as good as the reputation they have.
Haven't played it for a very long time, but I remember loving the shit out of that game.
I was like 12 though.
Limed for FUCK YES.
If you decide you're in the mood for a violent challenge, pick up Devil May Cry 1 or 3 SE (I hear 2 blows) or Ninja Gaiden Black. Arguably the most excellent 3D action games of the last generation.
This is more of an adventure in the vein of Zelda, but check out Okami too if you haven't already. I assure you, if you're disappointed, you shouldn't be playing video games.
I wasn't impressed at first but grew to love it.
Also, might wanna check out Tomb Raider: Legend for 360. Good game that can be had for like, $15 used.
it's a fun little platformer/brawler that maybe 3 people played
and I know it says Acclaim on the box but don't worry, it's pretty good
these are games most people would overlook but I find them to be pretty good
then there's Rayman 3, which is just plain awesome
I just think the way the game introduces itself just instantly zaps the 'cool' factor from it until you actually put a couple of hours into it, and feel more like you are playing Altair rather than, you know:
wait, you're talking to Hotlead Junkie. he masterd playing DMC3 with a guitar hero controller!
i know you said 3D, but tomba on the psx was a good rpg/platformer. its 2D, although i hear it can be difficult to find. the only other game i can think of is Mark of Kri. pretty cool game imo, not much platforming but you could probably ease through it.
Just like a blowjob isn't quite as good as full blown sex, but still really good.
Yes, I just compared playing I-Ninja to gettin' a Blo-Jay.
Buy I-Ninja.
It was good though.
I heard tell of this legend. I didn't know I was in the presence of strange and probably uncomfortable greatness. *bow*
(really not sarcastic, genuinely impressed)
Holy crap, I forgot all about this game. (Probably because my PS2 and all my PS2/PSX games were stolen years ago)
Tomba was a fantastic game. I never played the sequel because I was immediately disappointed at their decision to go 3D, but man... if you can find a copy of the first one? Jump on that.

Suggesting Viewtiful Joe to a guy with a Viewtiful Jow avatar? Brilliant
Hey, LewpieP, if you like Prince Of Persia, I would strongly suggest trying Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
Man, if you think Zelda's good, you should totally check out Jet Set Radio Future.
Edit: And OP should look into God Hand
OP was one of the most enthusiastic participants in the old God Hand thread.
Oh, Hotlead? Skip Ratchet and Clank 1 and go straight to 2. Trust me.
You should totally play Pathologic
Yeah, honestly... I loved the original, but that's probably because I played it when it came out.
But now that I've been through Going Commando and Up Your Arsenal, they just did everything better. Man, if there's one regret I have about staying away from the PS3, it's missing out on R&C Future.
