Mario 3-D Land isn't good.

The analog controls are awkward and inaccurate, the level designs lack creativity and are just a bunch of ugly blocks floating in the air. One of the most overrated games this gen. If you want an actual good, well thought out platformer, check out Rayman Origins. Not this overrated garbage.

I know it's not good, it's GREAT!

Best use of stereoscopic 3D yet

I'm glad 3D Platformers have become obstacle courses, like 2D Platformers, but in 3D. Good riddance to the mission and exploration based platformers.

Sure I love them too, but I want "3D Platformers" to be like EAD Tokyo's 3 recent outings, while the Banjo/SM64 style should be called 3D adventure games with platforming elements.

What an exciting and insightful blog this is.

Super Mario 3D Land has good level design and good platforming mechanics, as well as good use of 3D. Problem is, it is just completely devoid of any challenge.

I enjoyed it... More so than Rayman origins too (even though I love that game).

I agree with you!

It's the worst Mario I've played EVER.

It doesn't feel Original at all. The 3D effect is ok, but everything just felt Bland.

It's like Mario hit his Peak at Galaxy 2 and is now Sliding down to Retirement.

I agree. Its not good...SNIPER4321

While I agree that Rayman Origins is the best platformer this gen, Super Mario 3D Land is absolutely superb. In many ways it's a lot better than the Mario Galaxy games.

Super Mario 3D Land was decent. Certainly no Super mario galaxy, though.

IMHO Rayman Origins is at the top of platforming right now and it has one of the best soundtracks this gen.

When it comes to Mario I don't really judge how difficult they are by how many lives you get/lose or how many game overs you get, since Mario games due tend to get VERY generous with extra lives. A better way to judge the games' difficulty is by how many times you die and have to restart levels.

This is probably one of the biggest reasons why Mario and other platformers should probably try to imitate what Super Meat Boy did. cuts out the unnecessary 1-ups.

And even when you do die a bunch of times on one level, the game gives you a powerup that makes it impossible to die unless you intentionally swan dive into a bottomless pit.

If this thread has taught me anything, it's that Rayman Origins has become so popular that it's cool to hate now.

touche! also, how dare thee! Rayman 1, 2, and Origins are fantastic

Question: Was Rayman always a platformer? Clearly it wasn't a series I followed.bbkkristian

The main series has always been platformer yes and a fantastic one to boot. Rayman 2 made Mario 64 look like a complete joke in the N64 gen.

I disagree.

It was good but the levels were far too simple to be entertaining for long. And yes, even the after game ones.

Problem is, I died like 3-5 times throughout the game.

You aren't good!
