Little Big Planet™ Review

LBP_CvrSht_PS3_Final-hi res This is a game that once first announced has been waited for and waited for and waited for. And I can say it was worth the wait.

Little Big Planet, is a puzzle platformer game that relies on user generater content in the online play. It is developed by Media Molecule and published by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.
You play the game a a Sackboy or Sackgirl, which is a small avatar that you can customize. The game features pre-built levels that players can explore and collect new costumes and items. The game has an inbuilt planet called My Moon, where players can create custom levels. Bascilly let there imgination run wild.
Originally intended for a release in mid-to-late October, a last-minute delay involving a licensed song in the game’s soundtrack delayed the game’s release worldwide. It was released in North America and Japan at the end of October 2008, and in Europe at the beginning of November 2008.

This is game had a wondrous time playing. It seems so childish that it is fun, to any age group.
The main storyline is weak, the levels are wonderfully built and there are quite allot of them but, there is no story structure.
And in the character customisation, it is nearly limitless, with being able to create custom stickers you can virtually become anyone you want, But that takes time. The game has a vast selection of LBP_sackboys costumes to use, which are unlocked as you progress further into the game, and even play with friends online.

The game makes up for the lack of story structure with its fun and unique level building system. This system of creating your own levels and then immediately playing then is fun and does spark the imagination. You just need to look at YouTube™ to see how many creative levels have been created including a fully working calculator.
Another feature this LittleBigPlanet-Pod_Computergame has is the POD which is your space ship for you to explore Little Big Planet™ and it’s surrounding planets such as My Moon.

 

The game is narrated and has voice-overs from Stephen Fry, how in the game helps you out with everything to do with it.
The tutorials are really helpful, and yes there are lots and lots of them, But each one rewards you with new items.

All in all this is a game every PlayStation 3 owner needs to play, although it seems very childish, It is and you will love it. I certainly did.
