Who is this Mario and why is he such a big rip-off of Sackboy?

Time to innovate Nintendo. Time to innovate.

I can't that such a ####### like little big planet psp got a better review than New Super Mario Bros Wii in IGN
Note: the ### means numerous =D

You know what, I don't see the whole comparison.

I also don't get why there are so many people bashing LBP's gameplay. The physics and all were absolutely amazing, and were it not for these physics, the game would not feel like it's worthy to be on a graphics-intensive next-gen console. Super mario brothers wii works for the wii because the wii focuses more on simplistic gameplay rather than realistic gameplay. LBP's gameplay and graphics are far more realistic, the presentation seems way better, and overall, the value of the game is much greater.

Yes, super mario brothers wii may beat LBP in single-player. If however you are to pick between which game to buy, and own both consoles, then I highly suggest buying LBP. Mario is mario, but it's the same formula all over again, just this time with multiplayer. Both games are refined, both games are great in their own sense, but LBP just OFFERS way more than SMB. That's my opinion anyway.

For example. You may get mario for wii, play it for weeks on end, but at one point or another, you'd have done the same thing several times over. In little big planet, it's not like that. The "story" levels actually have a lot to offer in terms of clothing, materials, etc. and then there's the whole online community.

From what I see, SMBwii is a bit too high-priced for a game that has barely evolved over years. Whooooo there's multiplayer, and that's great. But even then, LBP's multiplayer is much better in terms of the amount of co-operation possible, and the different ways to interact with your environment. LBP Is overall a much, much bigger game, and although SMB may be better at what it's actually "made to do" (not enough), it just doesn't meet the standards of next-gen gaming from my point of view.

Mario takes the cake for basic platforming. It's just more enjoyable to jump around and explore in Mario, and those are the primary gameplay elements of a platformer. Plus the level design is genius. In contrast, LittleBigPlanet's platforming feels loose and floaty, but it still works given the design of the levels, and I have no problem making the most difficult of jumps in the game.  Of course, in LittleBigPlanet you also have numerous other gameplay elements, from swinging around on low hanging balls, to flying around with jetpacks, to zipping around in custom made vehicles, to slapping your friends for a laugh.

The area LittleBigPlanet truly shines is in the multiplayer. Unlike NSMBW, which feels somewhat like a singleplayer game with multiplayer added on, this is a multiplayer game at its core, and it is best played with friends. It's also incredibly easy to get your friends in the game with you, as all it takes is a simple press of the PS button or a quick invite over PSN to get 1-3 other players playing right alongside you. You can have any combination of online or offline buddies playing with you, and they can join you at literally any point during the game, no matter what you're doing. If you're hanging out in your pod, loading a level, ending a level - *poof* - their Sackboy appears right next to you. It's the most seamless drop-in/drop-out method of multiplayer I've experienced.

At least once I week I pop in LittleBigPlanet, invite a few of my favorite PSN buddies to my pod, and go check out the latest user made levels. The recent addition of the online coop Create mode and the soon to be added water physics are other things that keep me coming back to this game. I'm not sure when I'll stop playing it, if that ever happens.

New Super Mario Bros. is hands down a better singleplayer experience, but LittleBigPlanet is the better multiplayer experience, and that combined with the ease of accessing user made levels gives it much more longevity than NSMB.

Overall, I'd go with LittleBigPlanet. It's the game that keeps on giving. I absolutely love it.

...

Then they released the travesty that is LittleBigPlanet PSP.  LBP without multiplayer is pretty pointless. 

I still bought it though, but I won't be able to open it until Christmas.

LBP is the only PS3 game that I own that I just can not get into, I've played several levels and its just a bore! NSMB does nothing new but at least its a blast to play through!!

I honestly think that while LBP's multiplayer was great, it just could not compare to NSMBW's.
Perhaps it's just my friends and I, but we found that Mario's multiplayer was far more entertaining.

Whether it was working together on co-op, or coin battles, it was always a blast. Being able to things like stealing power-ups, throwing my friends into enemies, jumping on them over gaps, or taking coins right under their noses really sealed the deal for me. There was never quiet as we were always yelling at each other to "do this" or "don't do that" and it was pretty much a constant party.

LBP just couldn't stir up the same excitement and enjoyment as NSMBW.

The level editor happens to make LBP feel like the levels end up being similar.  That happens with a basic level editor.  When you don't go that route, and handcraft everything on the code level, it feels different.

Well, I'm back after playig NSMBWii, both myself and with my wife.

It trumps Little Big Planet's experience pretty completely, single and multi.

easiest question ever

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

My friends and I absolutely love NSMBWii! They haven't play LBP but I have, seeing that I am the only one that has a PS3, and I must say that I really couldn't get into LBP that much. So as for me and my friends we will have to say NSMBWii all the way. However, I'm sure that LBP is tops for others and that's great as well :).
