Now that the game has been out for a while and I have eased myself off of Fallout 3, I feel it is time for me to kick in my two cents about Little Big Planet. I must admit that prior to the game’s release I was caught up in the euphoria surrounding LBP. I basically bought my Playstation 3 to play it and waited anxiously for each new video that was released in the weeks before the game came out. Once those evil lyrics about Islam had been properly disposed of and the game finally came out, I rushed home and barricaded myself in my room to play the game for almost an entire weekend straight.
Things you need to keep in mind when considering Little Big Planet:
1. The game is a side-scrolling hop ‘n’ bop. If you do not like the aforementioned genre, stop reading now, you will probably not like Little Big Planet.
2. Being a side-scroller, Little Big Planet is the latest in a very long and distinguished lineage of games, and to be truly honest, other games *cough*Super Mario 3*cough* do a better job mechanically of representing the genre. → This better not be as bad as everything else here.
