LittleBigPlanet (PS3)

...At the heart of it, LittleBigPlanet is a simple platforming game. Get from one end to the other without dying. But to leave it at that is giving the game way too little credit. For the game is so much more than that, and what it is I think is brilliant. The platforming takes a welcome step back to 2D platforming, letting you sidescroll through fantastic and imaginative worlds to reach the end of the level, but that's just the start. On top of this ...
...depth, literally! This gives it all the simpleness of a 2D game, but with the flexability to add more by creating multi-layered levels. As you hop through the levels you will collect score bubbles to get the highest score possible while trying to find them all. Each level is full of platforming and puzzles which will challenge you to think to continue, involving jumping, pulling, dangle, switching, running, dodging and more through genius obstacles ...

Review of LittleBigPlanet (PS3)

Before I start this review I should make clear that I'm not really a fan of computer games and have never really been the kind of person to waste hours of my life trying to complete a game. My boyfriend on the other hand is a big computer games nerd and can spend hours playing first person shooters. So when he decided to buy a Playstation 3 a few weeks ago, there had to be some kind of payoff for me, and that came in the shape of Little Big Planet ...
...Little Big Planet is seen as one of the most important releases for the PS3 and was eventually released in Europe in November 2008 after a slight delay due to issues with the soundtrack. It has been exceptionally well received by the critics and the public alike, receiving praise for it's visually stunning graphics, fun gameplay, but most of all for its unique approach to developing an online community based around the game. It is estimated that ...

Media molecule are constantly releasing brand new costumes for you Sackboy that can easily be downloaded from the Playstation Store and collected as you go through the story. I liked my Sackboy to be a bit different and unique so I made him green to look a bit like a frog and gave him a very nice rubber ...

...The Online mode on LittleBigPlanet allows you to be able to play levels that have been created by anybody else around the world, and tell them what you think about it as well. Sometimes you can find yourself having to sit through a lot of poorly designed levels in a row, but after a while, you will manage to find a level that has had a lot of time put into it and that works as smooth as an official one. Luckily, to avoid having to play the less than ...

Review of LittleBigPlanet (PS3)

...a part of LittleBigPlanet LittleBigPlanet is so much more than just your average platformer. It is one of the most imaginative and magical games so far to be released on ps3, not to mention the physics engine is like nothing seen before. Every little part of your sackboy (or girl) s life can be controlled and customised, for example if you hold R2 the analogue sticks become controls for your sack persons arms, and with a sixaxis controller you can ...
...can be customised with literally millions of different combinations such as material, clothing, accessories, eyes, nose, mouth, tail etc... You’re probably thinking that with all this customisation there isn’t much room left for the game play right? Wrong! In fact it’s quite the opposite with a cute little storyline as you play through, enough levels to keep you satisfied for weeks, immense graphics and sound that involve you in the game (it makes ...

Review of LittleBigPlanet (PS3)

== Little Big Planet == === Introduction === Little Big planet was 1st available to buy in November and has had amazing reviews. The funny and easy to play system made a game for everyone, even call of duty and Killzone 2 gamers would die for this game. Only for the PS3 it makes this game even specially as the 360 owners cant get there hands on it. So in this game review ill go through story, campaign, community, creating levels, online and an overall, ...
...story doesn’t really become a story till the end, but it does go all around the world making you complete each country with little fun bonus levels with each one. There isn’t really a story so this is all that can be said. === Campaign === The campaign is really special and you can see the game designers have put a lot into each and every level of the campaign. At first the main reason for completing the campaign is to try and unlock all bubbles ...

Review of LittleBigPlanet (PS3)

Little Big Planet has had a lot of mention around the internet over recent months. Mostly, if i'm honest i ignored it all. Then a few days back I finally caved into it all. Not for me though, oh no, of course not. I bought "Little Big Planet" as a Christmas present for my wife, that turned into an anniversary present instead as I was itching to see what she would think. Its worth noting here that my wife has never been a gamer. Not in the normal ...
...She enjoyed the sims and quite enjoys playing on the Wii when she goes to her friends, but that's about it. I tried, rather foolishly to get her into gaming a few times over the last few years, but it only lead to her swearing at the computer/games console and giving up, frustrated and irritable. However, i knew full well that she'd enjoy the likes of this game. The casual, quirky game, different from the average. I'd heard so many good things about ...

Review of LittleBigPlanet (PS3)

When I first seen this game advertised and saw all the reviews saying it was a must buy for the PS3 I didn't believe them. A planet made up of all sorts of bits and pieces and inhabited by sack-people couldn't be this good. The more and more reviews I read the more I became interested in playing it. At first I was going to rent it, but i ended up wanting to play it that bad I just bought it. I wouldn't say it is a must have for the PS3, but at the ...
...the money. I found the game very amusing right from the beginning, mainly because you can control the arms, head, body and facial expressions and do what you want with them. And also because when they you make 'Sackboy' run his head flops back, which I found funny. In this game the point of each level is to collect blue bubble like things, but also to collect different stickers and keys. Some of the stickers and keys are well hidden and at the end ...

Little big planet the game of the year. You can tell they have spent really long making the game because the gameply is quality. The theme is that you are a little sack boy called sack boy :) .

Review of LittleBigPlanet (PS3)

I bought this recently for my brother and was slightly worried that 1. he would find the game a bit girly and 2. he would feel it was too young for him as he is 13. I was WRONG on both counts! He and myself love this game. It returns to the classic 2D platform format which means you can basically run left and right on the screen this though takes nothing away from the game. This game can be played either in story mode which means you go from level ...
...their are 8 levels in total. Or you can decide to build your own level and connect it to the internet so that others around the world can try it out. Both of which I have tried and both are equally fun! What caught my eye about this game was mainly that the colours are bright and the charecters are so cute! My brother and I love this game for two different reasons. For me it's the fact that you can make your own charecter and customise him, for my ...

Review of LittleBigPlanet (PS3)

When someone says 'PS3' you automatically think Sony, Blu-Ray and video games.No? Exactly, no you don't. When someone says 'PS3' the words that pop up in your head are 'Sackboy' and 'Little Big Planet'. This is because Little Big Planet is easily the defining game on the PlayStation 3. With its super cute characters and its amazingly easy to use creation mode it's clear that Media Molecule have done a great job with this one. The game features some ...
...excellent game that Little Big Planet is.However, superb graphics aside, there are a few more qualities that deserver a mention in this review.Just one of those qualities is the highly praised create mode.In my first play through of the game, after a quick and short-lived hash at the game's over-rated story mode, the create mode was the first place I headed.Admittedly if you plan on constructing your own level,a bucket load of patience and creativity ...

Review of LittleBigPlanet (PS3)

Here's a fun little game, but also for big adults to enjoy, similar to haribos only instead of eating them you play them, in this case they are known as a sackperson; a small character you can control and dress up. The game reminds my of a cross between crash bandicoot and mario except with much better graphics, real physics and highly interactive gameplay. This game is basically limitless in terms of creativity; you can customize characters during ...
...(if you're that way inclined) but what intrigues me the most is the create your own level function, allowing the user to build anything s/he wants and not only that, but share it with the whole world, amazing! Then the online mode allows users to rate your level after playing it and select a category for it, so when you search for a particular category either beatiful, points fest or annoying, it comes up with levels linking to that style. I'd recommend ...

The premise behind this feature of the game, which really gives it the longevity is that you can constrcut your own levels and them upload them onto xbox live for other users to play. This is really fun but can take some ...

First off the story mode is brilliant. Traveling around the world as a sackboy try to not get killed by ghosts, Crocodiles, Explosizes, Spiders, you name it you could get killed by it. Trying to ace every level (trying not to die at all) is really hard and frustating but makes you want to play it over and over. The Range of vechiles avalible to ride is amazing! Then also branching of the story mode are challanges where you compete to get the most ...
...3 or even 4 players. With the x2, x3, and x4 parts of the story. you need friends to get 100% of all the prize bubbles in the game. Next of lets talk about the create a level mode. This is where you can create your own level with all the items you have collected in the story mode and more. Using such substances as Dark Matter, Basic Wood or Sponge. There you can also create your own creatures or vechiles to ride. You can also turn stuff into fire ...

Little Big Planet is a well designed game (concept wise) which can have you addicted in no time. The pre-made levels are interesting and unique, and are a lot of fun. The controls are easy to master which makes it the perfect game for all ages. It is very colourful and bold, with fun little gadgets and levels. The option to change your character and its appearance is innovative and makes it more personalised to each individual. I feel that the game ...
...than as a single player mode. Especially since some of the levels require and extra player to get past certain areas. The graphics are brilliant and value for money is great too. On a bad note - Little Big Planet has limited music, limited levels when playing offline, and the often irritating wide spaces between auto save, which you are sent back to every time your lives run out. The 'make your own level' section is a fantastic idea, and I'm sure ...
