LittleBigPlanet Reviews

  • 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.
