Little Big Planet



What an awesome game!! Played 40 mins of it today in Manchester City Centre and it's one beat of a game. Visual it's loverly, the character animation is really emotive though the movement controls are a little clunky, but nothing you can't get used to.

The level creation stuff is perfect! It's all really easy to use and pretty intuitive but it can take easily take hours to make a level, and it can even take an hour or two to get one item, or one set of switches working and looking exactly how you want to. It's one of those games where you start editing and before you know it it's 3am and you need to be up in 4 hours.

The 'normal' play mode is quite fun, but it's made a lot more fun by throwing in 3 other players, though the screen can get cluttered at times with people editing things and such. The game also seems to have everything you'd want. Send items and levels to other people via PSN, a clipboard to store your own carefully made items, and full ability to tweak pretty much anything from the colour of an item to how electic a bungie is!

In short it's a must have game when it launches and one that you can easily still be playing in a year or twos time thanks to the wealth of user generated content that'll be pumped out by it's community. Do Want!! It's coming out in late October, and if you preorder it on Play.com you get an exclusive Nariko Sackboy I believe! Cant wait!
