    • I'm going to be the Playstation fanboy here and say LittleBigPlanet. The level customization in that game was amazing.

    Playstation fanboy #2, also voting for LittleBigPlanet

    The story was allround meh, but creating your own levels was so amazing that i loved playing this game (which i got as a free gift after the major PS3 downtime)

    Um, Luigi's Mansion 2 is not a platformer.

    Anyhow, from the whole list...it's not even a competition. Mario Galaxy blows all the others away.

    Kirby's Epic Yarn? A slog. Short and too easy.
    Little Big Planet? A good game but a good platformer it is not. The mechanics are way too floaty for a platformer.
    Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal? Good. But nowhere near Galaxy good.
    Rayman Legends? Granted, I haven't played it yet, but if Origins is anything to go by it's got some problems to fix. Probably the only contender worthy of competing Galaxy in this list anyway.
    Scribblenauts Unlimited? See LBP.
    Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves? This game is the worst Sly game. No, it's a terrible game.
    Spyro: A Hero's Tail? Hampered by weird design choices and weak level design. Even Crash Bandicoot is way better.
    Yoshi's Island DS? Not even on the original Yoshi's Island's level, let alone Galaxy.


    Mario Galaxy is one of those games that are close to perfect. The only problem it has, imo, is the pacing. The game starts out way too slow, and this hinders the replay value of it. However, it is still an excellent platformer and the level design is second to none. I feel it's very unfair to the other games that the highest rated game of all time is on a list that mostly consists of B-Tier platformers.

    Personally, I'd have to go with Rayman Legends. The graphics of this game were pretty stunning, the story was great, and the levels were very engaging. Once you were into a level, you couldn't stop playing until you had it successfully completed. d: My favorite was Sprint for your Life, which was a part of "Fiesta de los Muertos." Fiesta de los Muertos is the third chapter of Rayman Legends. Super Mario Galaxy was good, but I just didn't find it to be as fun as this game. Sly 3 was also good, but I just didn't like its graphics; they were quite poor. The game had 3D effects, but they just didn't work too well, even when you put on the glasses that came with it.

    • Scribblenauts Unlimited.



    What other game could you mount a undead Abe Lincoln on robot raptor with a gatling gun fighting Cthulhu.

    (This did happen in my game)

    • Little Big Planet and Kirby's Epic Yarn were amazing, but there's only one game that can win platformer of the month.
    Super Mario Galaxy. This game may just be the greatest title in the history of video games, never mind the month.

    LittleBigPlanet, its pretty fun with all the customisation and what not. But what can I say, I don't really play platformers.

    • While I really enjoyed both Kirby's Epic Yarn for how incredibly adorable it can be at times and Donkey Kong Country Returns for its sheer difficulty, nothing on this list stands a change to Super Mario Galaxy, imo. ^^

    • Spyro: A Hero's Tail.
    Always loved the older Spyro games, and this was no exception. Truly a great game that will be that way for a long, long time. Or until we actually get another good Spyro game for once. The reboot was terrible, and Skylanders doesn't even deserve to have Spyro as part of it.
