WHICH ONE SOUNDS BETTER

Little big planet is better, but it doesnt mean new super mario bros wii is a bad game.

one scored 9.5 one didn't /thread

I haven't played NSMB yet, however I much prefer the look of it. LBP was great mind you.

I grew up OLD SCHOOL, and learned to game on Intellivision, Atari 2600, NES, SMS, SNES, Genesis, etc.

One thing to remember, is LBP has a lifting/grabbing dynamic that does separate the gameplay a bit more.

I own both games and I would recommend both games (forget playing both, I own both.).

I can say now that LBP is the Better local 4 Player game...what I've experienced in New Super Mario Wii is about what reviews has said, the sweet spot is 2-3 players.

The fact that LBP has online 4 player as well, Level editor, user generated content with rating to guide you to the good ones, PSEYE support, High Definition, etc...well, that is just icing on an already uber delicious cake.

LBP was even updated with newer platformer mechanics months ago, not to mention LBP is the game that keeps on giving via DLC and user levels. When you trun the game on, even though it's a year old, there are new great levels to be played...and that's not even getting into the creation aspect of it, that's just from the players point of view.

Scorewise, LBP got AAA (9.0), and NSM Wii got a AA (8.5)...so they are both great games to get for platformer lovers.

-------------

One thing everyone forgets is that both these games allow for 4 Player Co Op Platform play, so they are both grand experiences in that regard, sadly, I don't think half the folks on this board have played these games like that, but I wish they would.

LBP is great, but I haven't played NSMB yet so I won't comment. And, there isn't exactly 1000s of hours of gameplay in LBP. In fact, some of the user created levels are absolute crap. Alot of them are still very great, though.

There is a rating system and you can leave comments so you can definetly avoid most bad levels. But yeah they can be found.

SMG got 9.5 , I thought he was talking about that. The new mario brother I haven't playes so maybe LBP is better?

LBP is superior in every aspect except that which is most important, platforming.

NSMB Wii has better platforming. LBP is much more innovative though.

Does it really matter? All platformers suck compared to Super Mario World. I'm sorry I just found my SNES again, and nostalgia is destroying my ability to accept new things.

Eh, at the end of the day I'll take LittleBigPlanet. Having gotten into level design from years of playing games like Unreal Tournament and StarCraft, the level editor means a lot to me. And there's actually a LOT of creative user-made levels from the community, some of them downright impressive and professionally done.Skittles_McGee

They even made calculator in it ^^

better platforming ? whats to keep me from remaking all of nsmbs lvs in lbp :P

It's not the levels themselves. I feel like Sackboy moves a lot slower and is clunkier to use than Mario.

The overall pacing and character speed/flexebility is indeed the problem.

The Mario Bros are Faster than the Sack boys but I like Little Big Planet's Stage creator.

DJ_Lae

Agreed

LBP looks awesome though, I love the graphics. and the level editor is cool although I'm not creative enough my little nephew is though.

Agreed. For a game built around platforming you'd think they would have put more effort into how he moves and jumps and tweaked it endlessly until it felt right, rather than dumping all the man hours into the level creator. So we've got a game with nearly limitless potential in terms of level design, but no matter what you're doing you're always saddled with the same janky Sackboy.DJ_Lae

But you know, that level editor is what makes LBP shine and completely own NSMB Wii when it comes to innovation and creativity. It makes the game have nearly endless replayability, which is something NSMB can't claim to do.

I'm not a big fan of platformers, but LBP is awesome. NSMBWii is mostly just nostolgic. I'm pretty sure if you tacked some other name on there it would of pretty much been ignored.

NSMB is better. Execution matters, and that part failed for LBP. rolo107

thats pretty vague

NSMBWii isn't much different from games like SMB3 and SMW. So if I said LBP was better than NSMBWii I'd basically have to say LBP>Mario, and I don't remotely believe that. Competent Platforming>Incompetent platforming and ugly character.

Mario sounds better! Wanna know why? One started platforming The other didn't ;)93soccer

your saying beacuse back in the 80s a game started good platforming that all future games involving said character are automaticly better ?

LBP is superior in every aspect except that which is most important, platforming.

This. The platforming in LBP is very loose. They art design in LBP is incredible and the level design is great too, but the actual game play is not even close.

originally sacboy felt like he was running on ice but they fixed that problem months ago

The platforming itslef goes to New Super Mario Bros Wii.

The cows are back in full effect on Gamespot.

But as a owner of both, No Way. I didn't even complete LBP, if found it boring and kiddish and less challenging than any Mario Platformer. What shines about it though is the depthful level editor, great thing, cool, and the onlie is great too. But when it comes down to the platforming, LBP is too floaty, janky, and they go over board with those rag doll physics or whatever they use. The enemies are boring and uninspired, and I get that it's supposed to be all quirky and fake like, but I found the game very boring. I'm not gonna sell it, as I may get into it one day, but no. On the other hand, I have play NSMB(DS) over about 20 times now, great game with good solid traditional 2D platforming.

I can't wait for Mod Nation Racers

NSMBWii = Traditional Platformer

LBP = The basis isn't even really around the platforming it's about the creativity mostly, and the community aspect.

The next time around I'd like to see, real enemy in LBP, and better platforming.

If you want proof that I own LBP, my PSNID is in my sig.

And to the guy defending LBP with all his heart, give it up man. Mario levels in LBP are no consolation, they are still boring and it's not real Mario. If I wanted Mario games, I'd get Mario games, and not LBP which doesn't come no where close to a real Mario experience.

he can run. depending on how far you you push the antalog stick. Also not all platformers have to be the same with the double jump stuff like mario games. Of all the platformers lbps physics try to be the most realistic.

also sacboy does have diff types of jet packs, paint gun and soon water

[QUOTE="BlackTragedy"]

[QUOTE="Waffle_Fish"] Then do it. honestly, so many people who claim LBP's superiority over other platformers forget one major thing. No one has remade all of these levels, and no one ever will. Its an awful argument saying "I COULD DO THIS!!!" when only a couple people have with mixed results. No matter how robust LBP's level creation system is, you will never be able to fully replicate any level from any Mario Platformer and make it just as funMonsieurX

A 2007 game defeats both of these and it's called Super Mario Galaxy. 9.5. Best 3D platformer. Troof.

Why judge inferiors? Let's talk superiors! Oh wait, SMG has no competition. Boosh.
