Little Big Planet Beta Impressions September 25, 2008
Posted by Archbishop Xero in : Party, Playstation 3, Previews, Puzzle , trackbackI managed to score a beta key for Little Big Planet the other day. I have to admit that the controls took a little getting used to due to sheer amount of activities. Adjusting to hopping between the three depth planes was a little odd at first, but grows on you quickly. Stephen Fry adds the little comical nuances to the voiceover that just brings the game together. The games helps you out every step of the way, from learning to control your sackboy to creating your first level.
There is just something about this game that makes me smile as I play it. It could be the overly cute sackfolk… or how they playfully interact with their environment… or the creatively designed levels.
I wish I had some screenshots to share with you detailing my gaming experience. The community is definitely going to drive the longevity of this game. The beta had only been out for less than a day, and already there were hundreds of community generated stages. Some very excellent… others, well… they are still learning the system.
During my first multiplayer experience, I was greeted with some intense lag that made the game somewhat frustrating. However, this being a beta, I understand they are working out some kinks.
All in all, my first impressions are great. This has every chance to be a defining game for the Playstation 3. The Media Molecule staff have outdone themselves. I am anxious to et my hands on the full copy of this game.
Viva la Sackboy!
