What are your favorite video game anthro characters and WHY?

BEST:
1.) Crash Bandicoot - He doesn't need a lot of words to make you understand what he's trying to say, and he's actually kinda funny about it too!! At first I didn't care too much about him, but after a new design and a new game, he's #1 on my list.

2.) Falco Lombardi - This guys is just pure awesome. I really like his personality traits, and also has a great sense of timing for saving people's butts. XD He's rude at times, yes, but only in a watch-your-step sort of way.

3.) Daxter - Another funny character, and very strong-willed. But I for one, am just glad he's the sidekick, or I'd hate him. A little too much of a motor mouth for me, but still a great character

WORST:
1.) Ratchet - Auugh. I know. How can this perfect, destruction-loving character be in my hate list? Despite the fact I really used to like him... he's just too perfect of a character. No internal flaws whatsoever, and that's what every good character needs regardless of anthro or not.

2.) Jazz Jackrabbit - A green rabbit...suu last year.

3.) James Pond - Lack of originality? And how many games did this guy have? Like...three. I don't think so.

I'll remember more later. But in the mean time, tell me your own!!

Jack & Daxter Combo (the best) the one-liners are brilliant, the best combo put together!! (from Jack & Daxter - The Precuseour legacy)

Lightning McQueen - (Cars Ps2) - This guy just loves himself what more can I say?

Ruby (Dark Cloud) - The girl is very funny - all the guys fancy her but when she gets in a bad mood - lets just say you'd better be 1000 miles from there.

Benki (Genji Days Of Blade - PS3) This guys is just strength personified, and his one liner(s) are good if you hear them.

The Baldy Guy (Agent Under Fire) (PS2) - Somehow this guy reminds me of Goldfinger dunno why >..<


THe Worst

General Baal - Grandia PS1
This guy is so freaking full of himself!

Semour - FFX
This guys just dosen't die!! Can't he take a hint! Very annoying!!!!

Zera - Grandia II - This Guy is so boring no wonder he was made pope (in the game) the church folk are
the only one's patient enough to put up with him. (also in the game)

Gadan - Grandia II - All this guys does is eat!! He sits there and slups and makes horrible noises during the
moment you are NEEDED to go speak with him....

And there you have it.

Well, I haven't played too many video games with anthros in them, but...

BEST:
Sly Cooper. By far, the most original, and if you ask me, just plain cool. I mean, come on, a raccoon who steals stuff from other bad guys, and his weapon of choice is this cane thing! What's not to like about him?

WORST:
Whoever the final boss on Sly 3 is. Good Lord... I hit him with Sly's cane about 50 times, shot him with a harpoon launcher at least 5 times, electrocuted him about 5 times, emptied about 5-10 clips of airplane ammo on him, and shot him with Carmelita's shock pistol about 25 times or more! He's freaking invincible! Even after you "beat" him at the end, he's not even unconscious! He's just out of breath, and then he gets buried alive in a collapsing cave. Way too invincible, and we don't even know WHY he's invincible.

I don't know if he's considered to be anthro.

Best:
1.Sonic The Hedgehog.

Yup, Sonic counts as anthro.

Best:
1. Gex
This dude was awesome, I LOVED playing the game when I was younger. His attitude is schweet, just... yay XD. "One for me, one for me and one for me!"

2. Jazz Jackrabbit
This little dude doesn't get enough appreciation XD I mean, a little green hare with a big blue gun. That's awesome.
Of course they toned him down in the later games (JJ2, TSF) but he's still pretty darn cool.
@Suka: Suu last year... last year was 1994? XD

3. Cortex
I don't know if he counts, he's more human XD But he's still fun to play with on some of the few games you can. Shoot lazars!

4. DarkJazz
One of the bosses from JJ1 that was pretty awesome. A cloned version of Jazz that can throw radioactive punches. Schweet.

5. Shadow the Hedgehog
Because dark characters are coo.

6. Tails
I dunno XD He's just cute and unique with the tails.

Worst:
1. I don't remember her name, but she's a female Crash Bandicoot.
What were they thinking. Ugh, this girl is SO annoying! Every single time me and my friend play Crash Bash we make sure she's on the other team so we can beat the crap out of her XD

2. Ratchet
Too darn perfect. Definitely.

3. Lori Jackrabbit
Okay, she's cute, she's athletic, but sheesh, SHE'S CRIPPLED. Can't do anything good ingame, she doesn't jump as far or as high as Jazz or Spaz, she can't grab copters... just ugh.

I played the JJ games on an emulator for PC, and I kinda lost interest after a while. I just kinda thought that it was kinda weak that the gameplay was forced to be made interesting by the introduction of so many new characters...some of which, are just...eccentric. XP

And Crash's sister's name is Coco. I must concur, she's annoying as well. XDDD
