Second Option: The two previous games in the series are also worth looking at, (Going Commando is also available for $20), and if you want more of the platforming, then the JaK & Daxter Series is a worthwhile alternative.

Maybe the first J&D game, but the second and third games are nowhere near as platform heavy as the R&C games. They added guns and vehicles, basically making them GTA clones. They still have some platforming, and overall they're very good games, but I wouldn't recommend them as an alternative to R&C as far as platforming goes (again, except for the first one).
As for my own recommendations:
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance - I never played the PC series this game is based on, but it really doesn't matter since the gameplay isn't really similar to it. This is a fun action-RPG that becomes even more enthralling if you have a friend to play it with. This is definitely one of the best co-op experiences I've had on the PS2.
Mercenaries - Yes, it's a GTA-style sandbox game, but as far as gameplay goes I think it's far better than any GTA game on the PS2. Like GTA you can steal any vehicle you see and take missions from different groups, but unlike GTA you can play these groups against each other and fully destroy the environment. And blowing shit up is fun in this game. The sequel (on the current gen systems anyway, haven't played the PS2 version) is a little disappointing in comparison, but you definitely can't go wrong with this one.
XIII - At first glance a cel-shaded FPS might seem kinda weird, but this game is one of the best FPS games on the PS2. The game is based on a comic series, which is why it not only has such a unique graphical style for an FPS, but it's also why it has an excellent story that keeps you compelled the whole time as well. Definitely worth a play for any FPS fan.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
