Difficult and over rated.

A Customer from Manchester, 29th October, 2008

I really don't know why the press are soo all over this game - it is over rated. First this is one of those games where timing and accurate use of the analogue controls is critical. Push a joystick too far and you will land wrong. Second I don't get what all the fuss is about the 'real physics' engine. This is just Lemmings with better graphics and less character abilities. You start at the left of a level and progress to the right collecting things and avoiding dangers *yawn*. Finally the level has three plains, and moving between them, and knowing which plain objects are on as you approach them is difficult. It is hard to know what are decorative characters in the background, and which ones you can interact with. Also when you die the level doesn't reset itself. Say you pull a vehicle down hill and it rides off without you there is no way to try again. Chris

An Amazing Game.

Alex Clark from Folkestone, England, 7th October, 2008

LittleBigPlanet is a revolutionary game, where you can customise and make EVERYTHING. and it's so good, even sony is adopting the sackboy (LittleBigPlanet's characters) as their mascot. So it MUST be good. I've pre-ordered it, i advise you to do the same

Good, but vastly overrated.

NOT A FANBOY from Reasonville, 25th November, 2008

Fortunately, I am a casual gamer with both an Xbox 360 and a PS3, so I have the luxury of being completely impartial.

You may notice that previous reviews have been plagued by ps3 'fanboys', who have predictably given it praise. However, an important lesson for fanboys, you cannot review a game BEFORE IT HAS BEEN RELEASED.

I play all games, regardless of format, with an open mind, and this is massively overrated. It is not without charm with its graphical style, but the story mode can be blitzed in under 5 hours. An important point here is that not everyone has the time to make their own levels. If I'm paying money to rent or buy a game, I want developers to make the game for me.

If this is Sony's attempt to save the failing PS3 audience, they have my sympathy. There is no way that this basic, twitchy, 2d (ish) platformer can compete with the Xbox's line up.

Having both consoles, I don't care which one sells the most. I can play games on each. But as far as I can tell, the PS3 will carry on playing second fiddle to the Xbox as long as they rely on quirky games with no substance, like this one. And for those who spend day upon day in their room making levels for this game, go out and find a girl to kiss or get some fresh air.

Definitely rent this game, because most people will, like me, have no use for it after a few hours.

Good Game

A Customer from Telford, 16th March, 2010

This is a great game for kids and adults who have a unbelievable need to complete every part of a game. The online features means even though it is getting old now there is always new content and new lvls to play and challenge yourself with.

Not my type of game

gemba from , 9th March, 2010

I found this game quite boring, I played a few levels but then gave up and sent it back. I don't understand why it was getting good reviews although I suppose it would be a good game for kids.

Little Big Planet

30yrGamer from , 4th March, 2010

LBP ? Many gamers seem ready pigeon hole this as another samey tricky platform game and that it is frustrating to handle . Personally i think evolution gave us brains to learn how to cope with tricky controls and given time its not long before your picking up bubbles with ease.The style the personality of the game screams childrens game but in fact as the game progresses it will test any hardened gamer..i found myself restarting in the early levels just so i could find out how many bubbles i could get the next time around and finding all the costumes .There is also the element of finding tools,designs and 3d contraptions which may be used in a most ituitive and addictive level creator . My kids have spent hours just building levels .Plus im happy thier grey matter is being stretched. Being the first game on the Ps3 allowing your imagination to run riot like this ,plus giving you the idea how much work really goes into creating games .i would recomend LBP to anyone at any age and i hope evolution brings a LBP 2.

Little Splash For A Big Build Up

homesliceuk from from Middlesbrough, 23rd February, 2010

To call Little Big Planet dissapointing felt harsh, as it's a fun light hearted game with very clever graphics and gameplay. There are lots of different levels and you get to control the look of your character from dressing him up like santa claus to dressing him up like Elvis! But really, after all the hype it received I expected something a little more. I specifically asked for it with my new PS3 because I was dying to give it a go! Although the technology is clever, the moves are limited and the levels become quite repetitive. There is very little expansion on what you learn over the first few levels. Probably a great game for kids, but for me it wasn't quite the gaming revolution it was built up to be.
