all games are not created equal

Both of these games are very stylized, so I think it's fitting to try and compare them.

I love the music in Loco Roco and how all the little loco rocos sing along.  The music in LBP isn't terribly catchy for me, but it's still pretty fitting.  I still randomly hum the Loco Roco theme song because of how great it is.

Gameplay-wise, both are similar in the sense where you may want to replay the levels over and over again in order to collect all the collectables.  You don't have to if you don't want to, but for all the 100% completion people out there, you just gotta.  In LBP though, you collect things that you can use when building your own levels, so that's a plus.  Both can get equally as frustrating as well as fun.

LBP shines a lot more than Loco Roco in the style department for me because of how all the levels are constructed.  Every monster, platform, moving thing, vehicle etc is made out of basic building block pieces.  In one level, a giant elephant took me across the stage and it was made up of these huge cardboard pieces that moved and it was quite amazing.  Loco Roco looks pretty, but LBP has so much more cuteness and coolness in its style.
