Knack is a better game than Super Mario 3D World. It is much better looking, the effects of Knack sucking up relics and changing is much more than is ever shown in 3D World. It is a great game for kids, they love playing Knack, it is a great colourful world with characters that actually have personalities and interact with eachother. What about adults? Knack can be a true challenge! On hard difficulty it truly is hard and unlike so many of todays games there aren't that many checkpoints, it harkens back to the days of old when you had to actually be good to beat a game. Can't beat a bit of it? Keep trying and practicing and then when you do you can savour that glorious taste of victory. So what of 3D World? Sure it is colourful, but what story or character interaction is there? What of a challenge? Nope, no challenge at all, fail enough times and you'll be given invincibility to help you out. Great lesson right there, keep failing and someone will come along and pretty much do it for you...

So there you have it folks, Knack > Super Mario 3D World
And it would appear the fine folks of the UK agree....

I platinumed Knack (which means I beat it on the hardest difficulty) and think it's a good game but, I wouldn't compare it to 3DW. It would be more fair to compare it to Sly Cooper or Ratchet.
