  • Review: LittleBigPlanet (PS3)

    Every now and again, a game comes into the GamePro offices and brings everything to a screeching halt. Halo 3 did it, as did Metal Gear Solid 4 and Super Mario Galaxy. I'm talking about the type of game that causes every GamePro staff member to drop whatever they're doing and cram into a cube like they're trying to break a Guiness World Record. When we first got beta codes for LittleBigPlanet, it had that effect on our work flow-people began ignoring IM's, emails and phone calls because they were too busy playing the game.

    Then came the day we tried to give away some beta codes on our website: GamePro.com came crashing to its knees, felled by the thousands upon thousands of users hammering our servers to try and win a coveted code. Now, you may be asking yourself why everyone is going so nuts for this game but trust me, it only takes a couple of minutes of playtime to see that it's worthy of the hype.

    THE BOTTOM LINE: It's one of the most amazing and interesting gaming experiences ever designed. It's a sandbox, it's a playground, it's a set of creation tools powerful enough to fulfill your dreams-it's all those things and more. Seriously, if you own a PS3, you have to experience this game; heck, even if you don't own a PS3, go find someone who does and beg them to let you play. It's something you truly have to experience for yourself and I dare you, I triple purple dog dare you, to try and not enjoy yourself. I promise you won't be able to resist the urge to smile.

    And go ahead Sony fanboys, start crowing to the Xbox 360 fanboys and the Wii fanboys because you just got one of the most original games ever and it's exclusive to your platform. Yeah, yeah, yeah, scoreboard, right? Now, stop talking about it and just go play it already. Geez.

Little Big Planet Review

This is one of the best games of this generation if not of all-time. Its so addicting and has an endless amount of content and room for you to create. This game can literally go on forever. The community is always bringing new levels and content on a daily basis. Media Molecule is always supporting the game with weekly content and updates. The gameplay is fun and the graphics look great. If there is anything you can say against LBP is that the story is not all that engaging it serves more as a tutorial if anything, even though the story levels are great. If you own a PS3 this is a game that should not be missed by anyone. 5 out of 5 Stars.

The ultimate creaion game?

Littlebigplanet is a very...unique game. The story wasn't the most exciting, but the real guts of the game comes in the level creating part. It is the most dynamic, open ended level creator i've ever played. The only problem with it was that you can't smear items diagonally. The other problem is that I had troubles figuring out how to use bolts and items like string and rods. Actually, its even more fun if you can get it online.
