Fast-Paced PS2/Xbox Jump ?n Runs

[Balou]

What I?m looking for are fast-paced and fluid to play Jump ?n Runs, similar to the Sonic games.
I know there are good platformers like Ratchet & Clank and Jak & Dexter, but they still have a lot of combat in it and play a lot like adventures.

So far I only know of these two:

• Sonic Heroes (Xbox/GC/PS2), which got a very low score on ntsc-uk.
• Kya - Dark Lineage(PS2), which has some fast sections in it, but otherwise looks similar to Jak/Ratchet. (haven?t played it yet)

So, what games do know of for the Xbox or PS2 that deliver a lot of fluid Jump ?n Run action?

Klonoa 2? perhaps its not Fast-Paced (closer to Mario than Sonic) but it is very much Jump and not at all Adventure.

Personally I got a bit bored of it (worlds werent so interesting) but anyway

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat sounds perfect for what you're after, but it's on the GC. The only thing Xbox/PS2 wise I can think of is Scaler. There's not much originality in it but it's pretty solid and very cheap.

whiplash on xbox and ps2 was pretty fast paced.
