I am pretty sure that Banjo's metacritic score will never be anywhere near as high as Little Big Planet's, so that is why I say it is not as good. And the crowd that says things like you have to determine the value of something from your own impressions of it will beg to differ; however, their way might be a nice way to do things, but there have to be standards by which to judge the value of things.

In college literature courses, for example, they don't hand you the Norton Anthology of World Literature and say, "Here's a collection of stories to read, but much better ones were written at the same time. No, they hand you a collection of texts say these are the greatest ones ever written because they made it into the Canon. Homer is the greatest of the Greek writers, Shakespeare is the greatest of the English writers, Dante is the greatest of the Italian authors, Cerevantes is the greatest of the Spanish writers, Goethe is the Greatest of the German authors, Voltaire is the greatest of the French writers, and Doestoevsky is the greatest of the Russian authors. Now prepare to learn them for they are all that matters in the world of arts and letters."

From critical opinion, it appears that LBP is much more likely to join the Canon of games than Banjo: Nuts and Bolts will ever be.
