Dissenting Opinion: LittleBigPlanet

No, your grandma's closet isn't on fire -- that's the smell of Sackboy getting Fried in Scott Jones' review of LittleBigPlanet. Russ Fischer traced the smoke to its source, and he disagrees. Read on.

This was great, Russ. I think you both presented your points well, but I feel a little closer to you when it comes down to. Once the Retail Deluge ends and you make your level, I'll play it.

Russ: I haven't played much of Little Big Planet, but I think you're missing the point Scott was trying to make about having some type of plot motivation.

Mario never had anything more than a half-assed plot in his platformers, but we still had motivation. Save the princess. It's simple and overdone to hell, but it's something.

In a game with as much style as LBP, it just feels weird that there's nothing there behind the gameplay. It just feel a little empty.

Lack of plot? How about making your own level with a plot in it? or even better, how about making part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4 and so on of your level and have a plot continue over all those parts. Like a big adventure for the sackboy or space exploration or whatever you like.
If you want a plot in LBP then make one. Or play the levels from other people that have made a good plot. This game gives you all the tools you need to make what you want.
Maybe its a lack of imagination and not plot

Heavenfall sounds a little like an open source zeolot. "Bugs? You have the source...fix it yourself!"

I think BioShock taught us all that having all the tools you need to make the world that you want only leads to psychosis and/or disembowelment.

Smile But LBP gives you the things you need to make a darn good level. If you can. The main focus of the game was never the single player mode, was it? I feel the game delivers on what was promised and lets me be creative and create whatever i can. Maybe thats not for everyone, but for me it was tons of fun making that first level and getting everything to work as planned (well almost everything).

The Games That Time Forgot


The games we're pulling together in this feature won't appear on any of those best-of lists and get confused looks when you mention them in conversation. Just because time has forgotten these titles, though, doesn't mean you should forget them, too.
