"Sly Raccoon" is a good and funny platform game. It has a cartoon look and
it's not too violent.

"Klonoa 2: Lunatea's veil" is also very good and not too difficult game.
The controls are very easy for a small child (only "left", "right", "jump"
and "throw"). This is the same kind of game as "Kirby" on the N64. But, it
came out 3 years ago and it's hard to find it now.

The games made by The Insomniacs and Naughty Dogs (the "Ratchet & Clank"
and the "Jak & Daxter" series) are also good and fun platform games ...
provided that destroying robots with grenades is not too violent for a
5 year old child.
