Best Platformer this gen

Galaxy, No contest. That game is perfect, I own LBP, and Ratchet and Clank

And out of them all I have to say

1.Galaxy

2.R&C: ToD

3.LBP

I didn't like LBP too much, and it honestly didn't feel like much of a platformer to me, as much as other say a "creative Tool" which it's perfect at. The physics are just to floaty. Face it, when it comes to platformers, Mario+Nintendo = Non contest. They know what they're doing.

I'm waiting for some money so that I can but Nuts and Bolts and the old N64 Banjo's on my 360

I like them all, but I like Shadow Complex the most.

Okay, I take that back. Ratchet and Clank then. Thanks for the correction.

Also in this thread, take your fanboy Goggles off for the platformer on you favorite console. And what's unfair, where is Banjo? In my opinion Banjo should be taking Mirrors edge place in that listing, since it's more of a platformer and Mirrors edge is more of a FPS or first person adventure than a platformer.

I played each of those games listed, so no fanboy bias here.

Why are they not making Braid 2 Mr. Subjective?Konxumer

Still fun? You bet.

But a better platformer than SMG? No way.

Of course.

That being said, topics such as "Best Platformer this gen" are they themselves subjective, and require subjective answers, therefore, pointing out the subjectivity of a subjective answer in a subjective thread is sort of redundant. Right?

I suppose you're right :P

Though if I may lay down one more subjective opinion, this gen definitely needs more platformers.

Its SMG, its not even a contest. Any other vote damn well better have a good explanation because there really isn't a decent comparison available.

SMG by far. It was kind of likemy own sleeper hit. I have never really liked any of the 3D marios.This one didn't interest me at all,and I didn't plan on buying. I'm so happy this game was forced apon me!Galaxy blew me away. Best game this gen IMO.

They made a sequel to Deus Ex, but I'm betting you didn't think IW was much of an improvement over the original, right?

You can always have a perfect or near perfect franchise, or you can make a sequel and fail miserably.

As much as I love little big planet, its platforming mechanics leave a lot to be desired. If it had tighter controls, it would have edged out SMG, but it doesnt. SMG is damn near perfect.

If the next one cranks the difficulty up a notch, then it WILL be perfect. :)

pretty much. I have yet to see anyone actually hate SMG and have a good explanation besides the whole "bu bu opinionz" shield

Super Mario Galaxy, the platforming in LBP isn't actually that great.

Even I liked Galxy. I think that years down the line, we'll keep looking back at Galaxy as an iconic game for this gen.

Others platformers I'd consider:

Shadow Complex

Prince of Persia

lbp for me

Definitely SMG.

The correct answer is SMG by Kms. I mean by miles(I forgot this is a US site);)

Mario Galaxy

Super Mario Galaxy.

R&C was the only good option and that's more of an action adventure game. Sonic Unleashed was really good and was actually a platformer so I'd go with that.sonicthemegaman

I guess Super Mario Galaxy and LittleBigPlanet are FPS's now.

super mario galaxy hands down! But the rest on the list is good.

[QUOTE="sonicthemegaman"][QUOTE="eveileb-ekam"] How is SMG not a platformer?2-10-08

Mario Galaxy, but that's only because the competition is so lacking. Ratchet & Clank is too easy and seems to emphasise presentation over depth. Sonic Unleashed was surprisingly fun and addictive, but it had issues with control lag. I might have said Mirror's Edge, but it's so heavily puzzle based that I am at pains to consider it a straight platformer. Of course, if we're going to include those sorts of games, then Braid wins by a clear margin.
