@Alic004, no I haven't played Cloning Clyde yet, but now I really want to. I loved A Nightmare on Elm Street and New Super Mario Bros. Wii, so now I'm really pumped for Cloning Clyde and LittleBigPlanet. It definitely is its own genre. I actually have a video of 4 us playing New SMB Wii at E3, and I'm speedrunning and causing all 3 other players to die. Great stuff.

@scottie, how is Paper Mario 2.5D? I always thought that meant 3-D graphics in a 2-D game or 2-D graphics in a 3-D game? The former was done by Donkey Kong Country, and the latter was done by Super Mario Kart and Wolfenstein 3-D.

 

At least on the Wii version. I haven't played the others.

 

You are free to move about in 3 dimensions, two of which are unconstrained movement, 1 is constrained by gravity. Esentially that means it is a 3d game. However, you have to decide which of the 2 non vertical dimensions you wish to move through at once, hence it is 2.5 d

 

In LBP you are free to move about in 3 dimensions, two of which are unconstrained movement, 1 is constrained by gravity. Esentially that means it is a 3d game. However, it is essentially just 3 2d planes, proper 3d is an infinite (or at least very large) number of 3d planes, hence this is 2.5d
