When I can, I try to pick up the latest copy of PSM (PlayStation Magazine) or read up on upcoming PS3 games to see what I should expect. I've heard a little information and a LOT of buzz about a game called Little Big Planet. It's being labeled as an easy-to-play community game that offers the gamer to show off their creativity. I recently downloaded the video from the Playstation Store and I was instantly hooked, yet I can't really explain why. I don't understand the point of the game or even what it really has to offer, but it's different. It allows users to use their imagination and have fun!
Just watch the video to see what I mean! (You can find 2 additional videos on my Facebook)
I can't really explain why, but doesn't something about that game just make you want to play?
As you can see, the game will focus on simple gameplay. Up to 4 players (either playing together in the same room, or playing together online) will be jumping, moving around, holding onto things and figuring out puzzles. All of this will be done in a fun, imaginative world.
The great thing about Little Big Planet is the ability to create your own worlds and also edit others (even as you play them). You can even upload your own photos and put them as banners in the background. Don't like the picture of the bird on the wall? Get into graffiti mode and spray paint an 'X' over him and put something else, like a sports car. There are tons of other things that can be done. Watch these 2 other videos to understand more.
A playable demo was supposed to be released late 2007 and the full game was going to be released early 2008. Sadly, both were pushed back. It's somewhat interesting because the game looks polished so I can't figure out why it will take another 7 months to complete the game. In the end, I suppose it's a good thing so they have enough time to make sure they release a quality product.
Until then, I'll just have to wait. :-(
