Little Big Planet is everything Sony said it would be and more
When I started playing LBP I had no idea of some of the things that might be inside of it. I just thought it was a good online community game. The more I played the more I came to realize that this game was going to be something special.
Story-- The story in the game merely serves as a back drop to teach you how to play online. I can't even describe it to you, but it's there. The way the game starts is definitely a joy to see.
Graphics-- In its own artistic way the graphics are top notch. Sack boy moves, jumps, and handles with grace and style. While simple the looks work. The lighting is on point and the style of the game is in great taste.
Sound-- This game truly shines here. The narrator is an absolute delight and is quite amusing; so much so that I was willing to replay stages to hear what he had to say over and over again. The music kicks in at just the right times and the sound effects are a perfect fit.
Game play-- This is creepy, but as simple as the controls are (and I mean simple shoot all you really do is run, jump, and grab things!) the game play is surprisingly deep. I think that comes from the atmosphere and from the smart level design. When played the exploration and challenge of not knowing what a stage will bring is the biggest prospect here.
Online-- This is what Little Big Planet was made for. You can travel from planet to planet of online members who have made any number of worlds. You can look into the mind of some of the gaming world's most creative players. You can stick to the games preformed worlds and have fun too. The best part is you can make your own world upload it and share it with the world. It is quite simple to do so. The interesting, funny, and poignant tutoring system makes it fun to learn how to design a world. You can invite and play in worlds with up to four friends. Compete for time or scores and just mess around in general. I don't quite know how Sony pulled of the chemistry in this one, but it's one that works like a charm.
I have seen or own most of the PS3's exclusive titles and they are site to behold. This game is no different in a world of online gaming this is a king as far as I'm concerned. If the PS3 had an online community that the 360 has this game would be busy NON STOP!! This game is no less a master piece than Kobe Bryant is a Basket ball player. PEACE
