Oh, Little Big Planet!

First off, let me spazz a bit and say OMG OMG OMG I GOT A BETA FOR LBP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SRSLY!!
Now, let me compose myself and write a well educated review
Where do I begin?
I spent a good portion of my first hour playing having a cow over the cuteness of Sackboy in his array of clothing, including (but not limited to): bunny ears, mustaches, a pirate outfits and a 1700s-style wealthy-English collar. The amount of cute-ness in LBP is absurd, and it's not just cute in a Harvest Moon way, where only girls will squeal over it, my boyfriend was having far too good of a time dressing, and playing around with sackboy (no pun intended). The ability to personalize your little big planet is literally out of this world. There are plenty of things to make your character and the world you are playing in unique. The best feature is the Playstation eye; where LBP uses it so you can take pictures using it, and make stickers out of them. The possibilities are endless.
The replay value is outstanding, and I know it wont be something I will sell back once I have the full version. Each level is new and full of surprises (like jet-packs! Woo!). For an artist who loves puzzle games, I was not at all dissapointed, it was both challenging and visually stimulating. I would finish a level and think I hadn't missed a thing and find out I only completed 33%!!
Undoubtedly every time anyone plays LBP on theirs, or anyone elses playstation, it will look different. When I say everything is customizable, I mean it.
It was an extremely impressive beta, for being such a complex game. And multiplayer is a huge part of it. Some levels you will need another Sackperson to help you, and at other times you can just send odd screen shot-stickers to friends to use on their LBP.
So the bottom line for this beta is: A fascinating and unique experience that captivates both the mind and the imagination for use in unlimited ways.


I give it: 10 (I don't just hand out tens either....)
