If there is one thing that this announcement trailer for Crash Bandicoot: Mind over Mutant serves to highlight, it's that there just aren't that many platformers on the Xbox 360. Scratch that, there aren't that many good platformers on the Xbox 360. We're not saying that this new Crash will be good, mind you -- Crash of the Titans didn't exactly set the world on fire -- but we welcome platformers when we can get 'em. Mind Over Mutant looks to introduce new abilities, new creatures to ride, and ... um ... other things we're sure.
Pick a reason: lack of developer interest in the product due to it being a contracted IP, different development cycles, less money invested. These games are the result of the publisher "milking a cow." You can't be surprised if a game is not as good as its previous incarnations when the original developer (in this case Naughty Dog) is not involved.

There are a lot of good platformers on the 360.
Tomb Raider Legend + Anniversary
N+
Braid
and a whole crapload of others also on XBLA, I just don't know which ones to classify as platformer.

Heh, junk-kicking = So. Many. Levels.
My kids liked the last one, they'll probably enjoy this one too.
Anybody else seen the contest that puts your artwork into the game?
