I have played 19 of the single player levels and the DLC monster level. The controls are great and the physics are very impressive. The incredible graphics make the textures of objects (cardboard, thread, wood, wool etc.) look like their real life counterparts. You will do a lot of running and jumping, and the facts that sackboy "slides" at the end of his "moon gravity" leaps, doesn't help when you are trying to ace, or not die in a level. If you're fresh off of a Mario sidescroller, LBP may take some getting used to. Physics and momentum are present, so you must play carefully and jump wisely, unlike Mario.
The story levels are filled with so many objects, decorations, stickers, and real-life textures that I'd be willing to call this game modern art. Originality is an understatement. This game DEFINES what original means. Some of the SP levels may be a little boring compared to the PSP version, but MP is encouraged. MP changes the game entirely. Keep in mind that I am not much of a MP gamer. I am kind of old school (although I'm only 18), and I prefer a strong story and/or strong single player experience over online play. I also am not very interested in creating my own levels because I lack the patience and creativity as a level creator needed to take on such a task. I have played 20 levels from the "story" so far.
Of the bonus community levels on the disc, I've played 6 or 7. They're laughably bad. I recommend looking for the highest rated community levels, because they are much better than those crap community levels they chose to put on this disc. The Metal Gear Solid levels are absolute essentials to LBP because of the inclusion of the paintinator.
This is not my first run in with LittleBigPlanet however. I am a proud owner of LittleBigPlanet PSP and I find the single player in the smaller, MP-less, and much graphically inferior iteration (best graphics on the PSP though over Peace Walker and COO)to be a tad superior to what I've played in the console version as far as single player is concerned. Some parts on the PSP version are VERY HARD. The levels on the PSP have better music to match the vibe, and there is much more of a challenge. The PSP version is what actually made me purchase this one. Cambridge topped Media Molecule in some areas with the single player, but its a good thing because the lack of MP on the PSP called for a STRONG single player.
I will not conclude my review yet. I will continue to play the rest of the game and all of the included DLC. This game shows glimpses of brilliance, and there is SOMETHING waiting for me in the later levels. I CAN FEEL IT. I will continue to explore LBP's SP.
UPDATE SEPTEMBER 24th 2010:
From what I've played since publishing this review a few days ago, the levels are a bit funner after the first 20 dull levels (as expected). There is much more of a challenge now, which is bad and good. Good because I craved the rush of a challenge, but VERY BAD because you only have 4 lives before you have to restart the ENTIRE LEVEL. That almost breaks the experience. I switched back to Killzone and God of War 3 a few times because I DID NOT FEEL LIKE RESTARTING THE ENTIRE LEVEL. ANYTIME YOU TURN OFF THE GAME AND REFUSE TO CONTINUE ITS BAD. KEEP THAT IN MIND MEDIA MOLECULE. They should have an option to have infinite checkpoints. I will update again with the final verdict once I've finished all story levels and DLC levels.
UPDATE OCTOBER. 21st, 2010
You see, I went from 3 stars, to four, now 5. This game is an absolute classic. It is the beginning of a genre and I'm proud to have been a part of its start. At first I was spoiled by the PSP iteration, and still today, I believe its single player is just as good (at some points superior) to the original PS3 version. I beat the game, went back to ace levels that I had previously disliked and had an absolute BLAST. I must say if you are trying to Ace and collect all the goodies then you will have a ton of fun. Don't even get me started on MP. My buds helped me solve PUZZLES in order for us both to get the gifts that required two or more players. This game really is the definition of good, creative, clean fun.
I don't care how hardcore a gamer you may be. How Killzone 2 or Resistence 2 you may be. Give this game a shot. Its truly worth it's price and then some.
A con in this game is its potential difficulty for younger players. Some of the levels are definately more difficult than some levels that children may experience on Nintendo games. However, there are a wide range of levels that can keep even the younger players attention. Another con is the fact that this game will likely make you want to get the DLC and buy the Playstation eye...the game is that good.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but after playing this game I wonder why there are even a few poor reviews. This game is a refreshing spin on gaming that won't make you stab or decapitate anyone, it won't make you shoot someone until your fingers are sore from repeatedly hitting a button, and it shouldn't keep you glued to your TV in some addicted multiplayer mode that wastes far too much of your time. I would recommend this game to anyone and it looks like the franchise will have a long life.
