Wow. I feel sorry for those people picking up Knack instead of SM3DW.

Don't feel sorry for me, I loved knack. I'm on my third play through. Mario is great but I'm 34 and you can only play so much of the same thing. |
Im 37, and I don´t think Mario 3d World plays the same as the old Mario games I played when I was a kid. Having a lof of fun with SM3DW and Knack don´t interest me at all. I found it boring and unimaginative, to be frank.
It´s just a matter of choice and personal perception. No need to fuzz about it.

Aesthetically, it feels and sounds the same. It's the same theme, same characters, same sound effects etc. We both have been playing Mario since we were drinking Kool Aid and watching He-Man. I'm sure for kids, or even teenagers, it's still fresh...and it may still be that way for you, but for me it's just old hat. I'm not saying it's a bad game, it's probably great. But I can only play the same thing so many times, no matter the quality.

As I said, its a matter of choice and personal perception.
I play my home console most with family and friends than alone, and for that Mario 3d world delivers so much more than Knack, even with its familiar characters and art style. And it feels fresh for us because the industry today is so bloated with shooters and gore that even a colorful fantasy Mario game feels like a great depart from those gray ultrarealistic approaches. Not that we don´t appreciate those games. AC IV was an instant hit for us, but sometimes we just need something to play together and have fun, sometimes we just need some scapism.
It´s ok for me if someone doesn´t like what i like. I played Knack on my local Fnac store for about 30 minutes, I can see people enjoying it but I didn´t, neither my sister. I just think that people shouldn´t be so harsh with different opinions as some people here in Vgchartz are
