Little Big Planet ist Sonys neues Vorzeigespiel. Es ist witzig, grafisch hervorragend, abwechslungsreich und strahlt pure Kreativität aus. Die ersten Zocker haben schon die finale Version (ich gehöre auch dazu ^^) und Ende nächste Woche haben es die anderen Freunde des Jump ‘n’ Run. Und was sagen die Kritiker dazu? Wir haben uns von Metacritics ein paar Reviews der angesagtesten Magazine angeschaut.

Playstation Official Magazine UK: 100%
“There simply isn’t anything else like LBP on any system, anywhere. It’s a beautifully elegant and powerful creative tool that puts unlimited potential in the palm of your hand. [Nov 2008, p.92]”

IGN UK: 97%
“It’s a celebration of inspiration and human interaction and a hugely welcome, utterly invigorating experience among usual roster of nihilistic shooters jostling for shelf space this Christmas”

Gameplayer: 100%
“LittleBigPlanet is like a magic trick, and in that respect it feels less like a videogame than an incredible concept executed perfectly. LittleBigPlanet is like LEGO (the blocks, not the game), it’s like Monopoly, it’s timeless… it’s lightning in a bottle – and if Sony play their cards right it could well save the PS3, and propel the console into the stratosphere.”

EuroGame: 90%
“We’re just happy to see a flagship game for a modern system that’s about running from left to right and jumping over things. New ideas are great, great old ideas are better, and LittleBigPlanet has both: it’s the future and the past of videogames, rolled into one”

Maxi Consolas (Portugal): 100%
“LBP is a unique game. It disguises itself as a 2D platform game but surprises the players with a set of editing tools and level sharing absolutely amazing. With a distinctive style and an everlasting future potential, we can say that Sackboy already conquered this industry. [Oct 2008]“

VideoGame: 90%
“LittleBigPlanet may well save the PS3 (if it indeed needs saving), it may be the most creative game of all time, it could well usher in a new era of user-generated gaming, and has a chance of bringing about a 2D platforming renaissance, but all those things are down to you. The game Media Molecule has created won’t do these things alone, but if gamers create the levels we think they’re capable of, we might be looking at one of the most important games this console generation has seen.”

GamePro: 100%
“There’s really nothing I can say other than this: if you own a PS3 and you don’t buy LittleBigPlanet, you are robbing yourself of one of the most unique gaming experiences ever designed.”

IGN: 95%
“Media Molecule has created a brilliant platformer, and then given you the tools to recreate the whole thing over again, or better yet, to create your own ideas from scratch. It’s not perfect – the controls could be tighter, automatically shifting between planes can be problematic, the editor isn’t quite as robust as you might hope – but what’s there is nothing short of astounding.”

Little Big Planet erscheint bei uns offiziell am 21. Oktober 2008 – und ist ein Pflichtkauf!
