LittleBigPlanet is the best platformer of ALL TIME [PROOF INSIDE!]

It's simple, with LBP's level editor you can create any level that you want and you can take it as far as your imagination wants to go. You can also recreate levels from other platformers therefore making them obsolete. I don't understand how people say the LBp's platforming is too easy when all platformers are easy and simple in gameplay mechanics. What makes platformers difficult is the level. You can easily make a difficult level in LBP to please the hardcore crowd.

LBP plays the same as mario and both are equally simple in gameplay but LBP totally crushes the mario franchsie with a custom level editor which mario does not have. In the end LBP has the endless replay value to back it up while mario does not. LBP is therefore the best platformer of ALL TIME.

You can make your own custom mario levels easily just by searching for an editor on google. Best of all its free!

No its not the best platformer of all time because...Oh wait...its aku nvm nothign to see here...

You spelt "Yoshis Island" wrong.

What does me making the topic have to do with anything? :?

Well, I don't really feel like ripping LBP a new one today so I'll just refute your logic. In LBP you can create a variety of cool levels (no perfection recreations though) but due to not being able to change how the platforming is performed, thus being restricted to one platforming mechanic and not being able to recreate things like power ups (for legal reasons and etc), LBP will never be able to recreate even the most basic platformer perfectly. Also, Yoshi's Island is the best Platformer ever. I don't need proof, it is because that is how the world intended it to be. It was chosen by a higher power.

*cough cough*

I can make all of SMB3 in LBP and more.

You can create power-ups in LBP. You can recreate the mario star in lbp by making an itme that the sackboy must grab and hold and then all nearby enemies within a certain radius of the item die automatically.

Unfortunately, your enjoyment of the level creation mechanism is entirely dependent on your creativity. Of which most people nowadays, have little or none (I'm guilty as well. lol)

Yo Aku101! I am really happy for you and I'mma let you finish but...

It is really good, had ALOT more enjoyment out of it that SMG... but the best? nah... LBP2 with alot more features/options maybe :D Birdy09

How am i biased? Even to go as far as a fanboy? I'm just stating facts regarding ps3 games and the ps3.

I agree that Yoshi's Island is the best... I've never played a more perfect platformer.

One power up, does not conpensate for the hundreds it cannot recreat faithfully. A star is about the most basic Mario power up you could recreate. Try flutter jump in Yoshi's Island or Vehicle transforming. Double jump in Crash Bandicoot 3, super freeze breath in Spyro 2, etc. Not possible.

That's because one doesn't exist. Did I mention I like you even more than I already did?

I'm a PS3 fan and I have LBP but I gotta say, Mario plays better. There are many aspects of gameplay in the 2D Mario games that simply don't exist in LBP (grabbing and kicking shells, leaf/cape flying, swimming, fireballs, block breaking, coin collecting just to name a few). Mario is more responsive than Sackboy as well. LBP tries to be a bit too realistic with physics at the expense of gameplay. Mario games are better balanced. LBP is a fun game though.

And RPG Maker is the best RPG ever because you can build any RPG you want.

Also, chess requires no skill:

Here Aku, let me destroy this argument with one simple point. LBP is 2D. How is it going to recreate a 3D platformer?

[QUOTE="Birdy09"]It is really good, had ALOT more enjoyment out of it that SMG... but the best? nah... LBP2 with alot more features/options maybe :D boba707

Huh? How was Galaxy not a platformer?

Then by your logic, PC must be the best platform of all time, because, the ability to create your own maps and mods have been in existence way before LBP was even thought of...Deadly_Fatalis

/thread

Standalone mods of RTS games being made FPS, just so win.

I love LBP, but the platforming mechanics are trash compared to multiple other platformers. LBP isn't even in the top 10.

As much as I love Mario, this is debatable. Plus, LBP's soundtrack and graphical design win hands down. LBP also has a lot more variety, and gameplay's pretty similar. Very debatable.

But 3D platformers are terrible. See sonic and mario when they went 3D.

You know, the best platformer of all time actually has to have good platforming.

mario 64 and sunshine were terrible in comparison to their 2D predecessors, i haven't played SMG yet but when I do i'll give it a fair review but I'm not expecting much.

brickdoctor

No its not, LBP lacks basically everything it takes to be a top tier platformer. Graphical design and soundtrack are not part of that. Not as if LBP even wins hands down in those areas either. Variety, important, was the variety up to par? Not really. Gameplay, LBP is like a simplified MArio game stripped of any design brilliance and finess. If that's what you meant then sure. LBP does not hold a candle to SMB3, SMW, SMW2:YI, SMG, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, Crash Bandicoot 3, Kirby's adventure, Spyro 2, Donkey Kong Country 2 etc. Not in terms of being a platformer.

Sonic went to crap. Mario retained its quality. What is your point? Not like LBP could replicate them if it wanted to. In that sense, to destroy your argument takes nothing more than the best pkatformer ever being 3D and with some of the 3D platformers around, that is not too hard to debate.
