LittleBigPlanet - Overrated

I don't get it, what is it about this game. I've asked this question before to, until i became convinced by everyone that it's a good game. Now that LBP finally got a lowered price, i bought it and i only played about 1-2 hours before i went on to GameSpot. WTF??? I understand that i shouldn't base my purchases on others reviews of it, but damn, metacritic has a average of 95/100 on the game. How is it possible? All you do in the game, is play other peoples (mostly not-very-creative) games. Other things you do you ask? Well if you want to, you can make you're own :):):):):):), which is really hard and takes a lot of time (which soon becomes boring) :(:(:(:(:(:(:(. Anyone else feeling like this? I mean, it's definitely not worth 60$.

I think it's an excellent game, but its certainly not everyone's cup of proverbial tea. You are entitled to your own opinion.

I think it's an excellent game.

i feel the same check out this zero punctuation review on lbp

i mean it just doesn't have much to do honetsly.

When I first got LBP, I played it for perhaps 2 hours and then shelved it for weeks. I picked it up again, played it for a little more and found the great game that was at first elusive. Give it some time, it can grow on you.

No I'm gonna have to agree with Catus_mat in my opinion LBP is a great game, but I do agree that maybe it's not for everyones taste... When I first heard about LBP I was sceptical myself, but I now find it original and entertaining.king-kj

It is original and also entertaining (for the most owners), but i think reviews would've been a bit more helpful if they'd get an opinion of a gamer who doesn't like platform-games. It's like when Skate 2 got 7.5 on GameSpot (i think). The review was based on a gamers view, the type of gamer who earlier has review FPS's, TPS's, RPG's etc. For Skate 2 they should've gotten a Skaters perspective, or at least someone who likes skating. Same thing with LBP.

The only problem I have with the game is that it is not long enough. In the beginning I did think what the big deal with this game but as I played on I really enjoyed it. Playing with someone makes it even better. The online stuff to me is n't special. I haven't seen any levels that people create that make it worth mentioning. It takes a lot of time and effort and that I don't have so I guess I miss out.

Playing with someone makes it even better.

I dont think is overrated at all , its a fun creative game wich have tons of replay value and the fact that it take it time to do great maps just suck me in , also it has a huge community.8)

I do have to agree with you there if they asked someone who likes platformers to reveiw it and them someone who doesn't. Both sets of gamers would know whether to buy it or not. And nobody would have to waste their money.

This is ridiculous...it's a platform game. So, they review it as a platform game, and rate it as how it performs on those merits. If you don't like platformers, don't buy it, regardless of how someone rates it. Killzone 2 was great, it got rated great, personally, I couldn't care less what someone who doesn't like FPS thinks about it. Same thing for LBP...If you didn't like Platformers, and wanted to see what all the hype was about, you should've just rented it, or borrowed it from a friend.

Because, as far as platformers go, it's great. It has a decent single player, is a blast to play as a party game, and has endless replayability with user created levels (which many people like doing, even if you find the task daunting)

My only complaint would be that they release too much pointless DLC, endless costume packs...at least they keep those cheap...

I have found Little Big Planet very enjoyable, especially with friends trying to work together and solve puzzles.

I believe it's a social game and it's meant to play with others. When you play it solo, it could get bit on boring side if you're not much fond of platformers.

There really isn't anything wrong with the game, create, play and share. I'm enjoying it. :)

One of my favourite games this generation, maybe even my favourite.

To each his own.

I love that game, don't play it too often but when I play with my mates it's really fun. :)

LBP was $60 well spent for me.

people will still play it though because online gaming seems to be where all the consoles are going. saddly.

The only problem I have with the game is that it is not long enough. In the beginning I did think what the big deal with this game but as I played on I really enjoyed it.

It's not for everyone's taste, I admit it took me sometime to it grows on me, but when it did I had lots of fun with it.:) I love the cute sackboy's!^_^ *Hugs them* :P

I do not agree with you.

Level creating is kinda long and complicated & gameplay is a bit limited.

That's about it, otherwise it's a very enjoyable game.

Thank GOD !!!! I completely agree with you. This game is a 2D platformer where you csn create things using teddy bears. What is the fun in that?!! And then the ratings are unversally acclaimed around the world. What did I miss?

I haven't played it yet..:?

It's a love it or hate it game, just like Oblivion.

Good game but i would have to agree. The concept is good and the execution for the most part is good but i find the game pretty dull at times.Keir21

[QUOTE="HarshGamer"][QUOTE="rlg5150"] "All you do is play other people's games?" I'm assuming you mean playing levels designed by others online. Have you even played the main game? There are lots of unlockables and fun entertaining levels.rlg5150

[QUOTE="rlg5150"][QUOTE="HarshGamer"] We on a grammar-site here? You know what i meant. And yes, i believe i commented on the fact that there are unlockables etc.HarshGamer
