Worst popular platforming franchise?

I’d say Little Big Planet myself, just could not get into that.

LBP

Definitely Little Big Planet. I don't understand how that game gets the good reviews that it gets. It's a platformer yet the platforming mechanics and the controls are just terrible and those are the most critical components to get right in a platformer.

Never played any LBP outside of the Karting spin-off game.

Rayman imo is awful.

Yeah, probably Little Big Planet. Never my cup of tea.

Kingdom hearts 1

TC's favorite platformer franchise.

thx.

Voted other but probably agree with LBP.

Voted LBP. Funny for creative people but, as usual with Sony, mechanically it's just so behind the competition.

Of the ones iv played (most of those listed) Crash Bandicoot is easily the worst in my book.

Sonic and LBP suck. Rayman is also overrated as f*ck.

Sonic. It's like a shitty racing game with annoying platforming parts.

Crash and Spyro... boring, dated.. no ammount of graphics updates makes them relevant.

Good in a time with lower standards.

Sonic games after Dreamcast and Sonic keeps on getting worst. I love Sonic back in the good days, but he SUCKS big time now.

Surprise to see a lot of disliking LBP. Only 4 games were ever made in the series to get that much hate. I only played just Little Big Planet & 2 and they were okay.

LBP is trash.

Donkey Kong (Country, I assume).

So vanilla. So lame. So pre-rendered. So early 90's.

@davillain- Hating on the Sonic franchise is kind of lazy imho. I mean. I didn't even like Sonic Adventure 1+2 but I actually have watched multiple reviews on all the new Sonic games and I think alot of it is just Sonic 1 set the bar too high. I am actually planning to play all of them maybe on Wii console.

Sonic lives on nostalgia

LittleBigPlanet

Sonic. Sega needs to put it out of its misery because it's just embarrassing.

Spyro, my goodness those games played like absolute ass. Not sure where all the nostalgia comes from.

Sonic. I like the character but the concept and excecution of the games is horrible.

Super Mario.

The first Spyro game was, "Super Mario N64 with Dragons" is where all the nostalgia is coming from. Which is why I'm very hype for the remaster Spyro series.

Little Big Planet is great, you guys are crazy.

Mario. who the heck still plays Mario and genuinely has fun? All the games i see here are mostly relics i wouldn't pay anything above $10 for but i definitely wouldn't buy any Mario game for anything above $2

@nomadic8280: While I love LBP I can see why it's not loved by all. The controls and gameplay are rubbish for the most part and that's a big no no for a platformer. I still love it for it's creativity and level building, but totally see why others might not enjoy it.

Crash especially is just a stepping stone into 3D gaming. Fine for the time but it's hard to ignore the lack of ambition now. Still, these games run well and there is some fun to be had with them. So I vote Sonic. No game with that kind of pedigree should have so many buggy, bad entries.

Little Big Planet

While a cool concept, the platforming and controls and general feel of the game was terrible.

DK. Pure Shit. Always was.

@brimmul777: :o Even Tropical Freeze?
