I suppose that you're right but as often as certain people want to say that LBP is different than Mario, they also want to compare the two and say how it's better than Mario. It's a case of wanting to have have your cake and eat it too. While it's true that a 2D platformer isn't by definiton a Mario copy, it is the gold standard by which others are judged and the series that really started the platforming craze. As much as I like the Sonic, I would be disingenous if I didn't think that Sega was trying to create their own Mario and I'm pretty sure that Sony was trying to make their own Mario with Sackboy and LBP. |
well the two games are 2D platformers so they can be compared easily. there is a big difference between battlefield and halo for example but people can still comapre them because they are bpth FPS games. just because two games arent like each other doenst mean you cant compare them. no one can deny what mario/nintendo did with the industry back in the 80's. sony is trying to create there own mario but in a more financial point of view, they arent making the same game. they are trying to create their own mario in the more general point of view, they are trying to create their own mascot and system seller, i dont see anything wrong with that or anything that makes LBP a clone of mario
