Little Big Planet has recently captured my attention by being the most inspirational & creative game of 2008.
Let me explain.
I first gave LBP a shot during the beta. During which I had fun but wasn’t sure how polished the final product would be.
The user-created content was a chore to trawl through for good levels. No fix was in sight and the developers own levels were too few to make a judgement call on what they would include in the final game.
Later on when LBP was released I read about the server issues and declined to purchase it. Who knew if the developer would correct these issues?
SOCOM: Confrontation certainly was proving to have similar problems and theirs weren’t fixed in anything like a timely manner.
Another concern I had was with the lack of interaction. Until recently, sackboys could only interact with the levels through grabbing, jumping, and running. With the recently released Metal Gear Solid pack that has been fixed through the addition of the Paintinator. So now Sackboys can shoot, giving them another path to interact with their environment.
Finally, Little Big Planet has been patched to remove most of the connection issues. Sure, I still get the occasional disconnection from the community servers, or lag. However, the bugs are mostly gone.
If you’re one of the folks who fretted about the quality of the game before purchasing it, fret no longer, get Little Big Planet, have fun.
