Pandemonium 2
You control either Nikki or Fargus, each of whom has unique abilities. Fargus starts off with a weapon called Sid, the talking stick (also sidekick) which can be controlled like a remote-controlled missile after being thrown. Fargus also has a spin attack, although it is not as fun to use as Sid. Nikki does not start out with a weapon other than jumping on people's head. She can, however, collect various magic spells that allow her to throw different projectiles. Nikki also can do a double-jump which allows her to reach higher heights than Fargus. This makes the game somewhat replayable, as one character can access areas the other cannot.
In short, Pandemonium 2 offers all the gameplay and control one could ask for in a platformer. The game looks great in 3D, with graphics that rival its Playstation version (which was much more successful than this PC one). If you enjoy the first game, you will definitely enjoy this sequel. If you like action games but have not heard of either games, you are missing out on two of the most unique and entertaining games ever made for the PC. Two thumbs up!
