Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, or Super Mario Galaxy for best platformer of the year?

I haven't really been blown away by anything SMG has shown. Looks fun, but that is where it starts and stops for me.

Recently I got to play the Tools of Destruction demo...and it was pretty incredible. My vote goes for Ratchet, what about you guys?

I don't doubt it, I just believe SMG will be the better platformer if it lives up to Miyamoto's visions.

Mario Galaxy. Even just looking at the videos, I just smile at all of the little things in the game. It's going to be a very special game.

I think most people will go with SMG, but the Ratchet demo was pretty awesome and I think it will offer an entertaining story along with great gameplay. I plan on buying both, but I'm more excited about Ratchet after playing the demo and enjoying it as much as I did.

If SMG takes after Sunshine at all, then Ratchet by far. Otherwise it's closely contested.

What's with all of the sudden Ratchet hype? Just because of that fake 1UP review? Do people not realize that 1UP hands out tens like candy lately, let alone AAA scores? Super Mario Galaxy> Ratchet and Clank Future Tools of Destruction.

heres the thing...ratchet and clank is a cartoony third person shooter more than it is a platformer.

In terms of pure platforming mario galaxy by far.

R&C may be the game that gets me to buy a PS3 sooner than MGS4 but well it Mario and I have never played a Core Mario game that I did not think was amazing...So I will have to go with Mario but that may change

Super Mario Galaxy will be the best platformer hands down, at least there are new things going into the game that make it different from the previous games, unlike Rachet and Clank which is so far looking to be a lot like previous games.

I think it is because of the demo released this week.

I'll choose SMG for now, but I think it'll be close.

Can't blame Insomniac for wanting to change too much, especially considering every single R & C game outscored Mario's last platformer.

This is kinda funny.

Ratchet and Clank - 4 games in a 7 year period (more than all 3D mario's)

I actnally enjoyed Mario Sunshine more than any R&C game because of the gameplay. But the script writing and action in R&C is quite good in its own way!

That's because SMS sucked for a Mario game.

I wish people would forget about it, everyone thinks Galaxy will take after it.

I don't think it's very fair for a 3d game to go up against a 2d mario game...which has been proven to work for quite some time and Size matters was not made by Insomniac.

True. Meanwhile this is the first 3D Mario platformer we've seen from Nintendo in five years, clearly they've taken their time in perfecting Super Mario Galaxy. When Nintendo decides to create a Mario game right, they get it done with perfection... or pretty darn close to it, anyway.

Tough to say. I'm a huge R&C fan and the demo was excellent, but it's also just more of the same. Super Mario Galaxy on the other hand seems to be the sequel to SM 64 that I've been waiting for for over a decade and is also a little different for a Mario game. Right now I have to say I'm more looking forward to SMG since at one time the SM games were my favorite in the platform genre. However, I can't completely count R&C Future out because the demo is great and currently that series rules the genre. We'll see. I think it'll be better to bring this subject back up after both games hit shelves.

The real question is...

SMG or Banjo Threeie for the best platformer of all time? :o
