Little Big Planet

I know its been awhile since I have posted anything new... well I have been busy. I know I usually write about music but today I would like to review a video game. The game is the Playstation 3 exclusive title Little Big Planet. The game is a side scrolling 2.5D platformer with the ingenious, cute, lovable and charming character entitle Sackboy. The very begining of the game sets the mood for the rest of your experience in Little Big Planet. Voice actor Stephen Fry gives great, dry and humourus narration to the begining stages as if you really were on another planet and the game was actually more like an interactive episode of Planet Earth. Sackboy himself is customizable... from everything he wears to his eyes, mouth nose, and the best is his facial expressions. Using the D pad you can change his expression to happy, sad, angry and scared. Each expression also has 3 degrees of intesity. Controlling sackboy is very easy as well. From the simple jump to hitting other sackboys while playing multiplayer.

The game starts off with a visit to various places that are mimicked in our world. The begining levels are themed to Europe, and then to Africa, Mexico and North America. Each level has prizes hidden in each which will help you customize your character with additional costumes. Also hidden are objects which can enhace the level creator mode(more on this later). The various challenges are a blast to go through. But the single player mode is not where the true fun lies...

Online or multiplayer is where its at. You can join up to 4 players in one game where you can play through the normal story levels or the online levels which are filled with creative content from the Little Big Planet comunity. The level creator gives you the power to create anything you want and share it with all the Little Big Planet players around the world. And these levels can be played with a group of people or by yourself. Most levels that are created have taken upon influences that are familiar to most like... Batman, God of War, Mirrors Edge, Mario Bros. and yes there is a Tetris level which is freaking awesome! I cant really say enough about this game other than you have to try it to really belive how fun this game is. This is the must own title for all PS3 users.... and the reason to buy a PS3! This game works and succeeds on everything tried to do. Whats the point of the game...PLAY, CREATE, and SHARE!

Grade: A+......................... MUST OWN GAME!!!!
