I received this game free with my new PS3, and I thought it might be cool to play, I was completely wrong. For starters, the game is completely boring, because there is no plot or anything. The only thing I learned is that I can dress up a sack person any way I choose. After that, the game becomes tedious and boring. Playing the same boards over and over trying to find objects that are hidden away is the perfect cure for insomnia. I tried playing online a few times, and I actually played a board where all I had to do was run to the right, and pass a bunch of words on the screen, how exciting!! The game play itself is pretty limited. The sack person jumps like it has 80lbs of lead in its pockets. Maybe people who never leave their homes will enjoy this game, but for me, i will be trading it in for a good game, like NHL 10 or Saints Row
I finally played this game after having read all of the high ratings from the so-called professionals who evaluate games. I gotta hand it to them. They pulled one over me really good. One reviewer said that this game is something really new and cannot be categorized into one niche. This is obviously a platformer. It may seem new to someone who has never played too many games especially the old platformers such as Super Mario or Mega Man. This platformer is nothing original, really. It takes all the platforming elements from all of the platformers of old.
The game gets pretty challenging but that’s not the problem. The problem lies in its cheap traps that will kill you many, many, many times. I’m sure that they did it to make the game challenging, maybe even to make you feel like you got money’s worth. When you die you have to go back to the beginning of the segment and start all over. When you have passed a very frustrating challenge and then get killed to only start all over that quickly kills all the fun. They should have made it so that you can restart from the point that you died. Because of that this game becomes a chore. I am for challenge and have completed many, many challenging video games that I cannot begin to count. But this is ridiculous. Yes, the platforming elements are quite ingenious but when you go through them they can quickly become a TORTURE CHAMBER. If you do not have finger dexterity, do not even try this game. If you are buying this for a young child, do not even do that because they will quickly tire of not being able to advance because of the frustrating challenges. I am an adult who grew up on video games and I found myself cussing up a storm. I really felt like some demented group of people laughed as they created this game knowing that it will bring some poor soul excruciating pain.
One thing that this game made me more aware about is the Playstation 3′s controller. The pressure sensitive buttons are a disadvantage when it comes to games such as this. You see, this game relies on a lot of precision jumping whether it be from one platform to another to jumping onto or into objects. You will find yourself jumping and finding that you did not jump hard enough and find yourself missing the edge of a platform and dying cheaply. This happens too often. Or you will find yourself jumping to hard and overtakng the platform. Or worse yet, you will move on a narrow platform and finding yourself falling off a cliff just because you could not stop yourself. Again, the button response on the Playstation 3 can partly be blamed for that. I’ve never had this problem with the Xbox 360′s controller which I find more comfortable and responsive. After dying many, many, many cheap deaths you will put the controller down and give up for the day. Then you will go back repeat the self torture. This game requires a lot of practice in each challenge. After many, many, many attempts you will complete the level only to find a more devious torture chamber awaiting you.
Do not get me wrong. Some parts of this game is fun. But I am rating this one star to offset all the overly high ratings that this game received.
I would not recommend this game to anyone who is not a hard-core gamer. Only sadomasochists should apply on this one.
This game is visually stunning and could actually be a lot of fun…HAD THEY GOTTEN THE CONTROLS DOWN RIGHT! Trying to play this game is frustrating to no end because you have to struggle with a weird camera angle, or the dude doesn’t jump correctly (or even at all sometimes), or he slips off things as if he’s on ice. It’s even hard to get him to run where you want him half the time. I just don’t get why they couldn’t tweak the controls to make them more crisp and predictable. FRUSTRATING!!! I really want to love this game but the controls RUIN it for me!
LittleBigPlanet is a great game, enjoyable even by people who don’t normally like video games. It is classified as a “puzzle platformer”, meaning each level is a puzzle to solve (what to do next isn’t always obvious) and it is a platformer, meaning you jump to and from suspended platforms or over obstacles etc. Personally I didn’t care much for the puzzle aspect, and for people like me there are videos of each level at YouTube, which I watched when I got stuck.
The scenes in this game are beautiful, the music is wonderful, and the physics is mostly realistic, and the overall beauty and experience offered by this game reminds me of the “It’s a small world” ride at Disneyland. The game is enjoyable by kids and adults alike, and the whole family can play together if you have more than one controller.
There are 25 awesome levels (there are eight “Creator Curators”, and there are three levels per Creator Curator except the last which has four, adding up to 25). The description of this game says there are 50 levels, but that is probably counting the mini levels (mostly useless) and the included user-created levels. I didn’t like the user-created levels — some of them are playable, but they didn’t have the Disney-esque experience of the levels created by the game makers themselves.
One thing I didn’t like about the game is that the depiction of USA in this game isn’t that great. A construction site, a car wrecking yard, people speaking in ungrammatical English etc. LittleBigPlanet was made by a UK company.
I purchased this for my 6-yr-old son, my entire family is addicted to it and we have given the bug to another family. Fun on all levels, challenging as well.
