I downloaded the demo for LittleBigPlanet a month or so ago and totally forgot it was there. I was messing around with the PS3 this past Saturday with my kids and I noticed the demo. We fired it up and obsession has started! What an awesome game! My daughter loves the sticker and decorating aspect of the game and my son… well he just likes the game! We liked the demo so much that I went out on Sunday and bought the Game of the Year edition. This game has been available since 1998 and I can’t believe I waited this long to pick this title up.
I love that it is a platformer, in my opinion platformers are the best console games right nex to shooters. The creation aspect of it is a major plus but the real addiction comes in when trying to find all of objects and stickers found throughout the game. Every level has a certain number of items you can pickup and use to make your own customized levels. The collector mentality works a lot like in Shenmue where you are trying to get all of the little toys from vending machines; its addictive!
Of course the graphics in the game are phenomenal as well as the music. There is a lot of alternative, new age type music throughout the game. I guess my pinball projects are going to have to hang back for a bit!
