LittleBigPlanet (PS3)

In a market place full of stereotypical gaming fodder this little gem is nothing short of the Holy Grail of gaming! Inovative, intuative, asthetically beautiful and a mind boggling amount of fun to play. Its simplicity is its strength because be quite sure of this, this is nothing more than a platformer. Be equally sure that this is also the most accomplished game of its generation and genre.
More impressively I've come to this conclusion after only a few hours play! I've yet to even experience the 'create & share' aspects of this wonderful game. The possiblities are endless.
The gameplay itself is immediately accessable and easy to get to grips with. Run, jump, push, pull and grab pretty much sum it all up. It's the creativity with which these simple actions are employed that make it such fun to play. There is always more to each level than initially meets the eye and the learning curve is just right (for this 39yr old anyway!). The running commentary and tuition from Stephen Fry compliment the feeling of the game and are pitched at just the right level too.
Then of course there is the ability to customise and control your Sackboy/girl's appearance and actions with some amusing results. I could write pages about this game but ultimately you just need to go and buy it. You will not regret it! Superb!

I've never written a review on amazon, but after playing this game during the beta i felt compelled to tell people just how brilliant this game is.

First off you have the story mode, in this its like the normal single player type of game, its ingenius and fun to play, for the first time my girlfriend played with me and she hates game but loved this, its simple and just a great laugh, first customising your sackboy/girl and then playing the levels together, its cute, friendly and everyone can play.
The story mode could be sold on its own as its probably better than most games out but its probably less than half of what makes LBP Great.

After playing through most levels you can start creating your own, now i've played many games you can edit levels and i've been left confused mostly and stopped after 5 minutes, but steven fry's tutorials last around 30 minutes and after this your pretty much sorted! i created my own level after an hour or so which my girlfriend played and told me it was too hard and there wasn't enough colours a "womans touch" she said and even she wants to make one. After you've created the level you can publish it online and get other people to rate it and see what they think.

All in all this game is superb the story mode alone deserves a 10/10 but with the online mode which lets you play other peoples levels whenever you want and you don't even need to play them online so no lag or random online people slapping you it makes an endless supply of content!

I was worried it would be quite simple games as its basically a platformer but this was squashed after i saw people making large complex systems, rockets, cars, traps, calcuators, protecting a box, sonic, boss battles, Mario, metal gear solid and grand theft auto levels it'll be hard to get bored!

I hadn't preordered this game but now i have, this game is perfect for anyone girls guys kids adults, you need this game, if any parents are reading this looking for ideas this is the game! its recieving perfect scores all round and is the only game that seems not for the Wii and that isn't a shooter!

BUY IT NOW!!!!

Realy great game with amazing production values. It's a nice change from all the gritty war shooters out there.

You can play the entire game with upto 3 other players online or offline. The game really shines when you are playing with friends. The quirky little actions you can do like tug each other and slap helps make it a playful and friendly game for everyone.

Level creations is ridiculously good. I've not tried it myself but from the user created levels I have played the potential is unmatched by any other game.
