So, it's almost that time of year again...More fall games set to keep the masses happy.

So, I'm ready for some Socom, Resistance 2 and some Home(eventually) but I don't get the appel of LBP. I'm not bashing it I just want to know what it's about...

It needs to be played to be truly appreciated. Seriously, jump in a room with a couple of friends and you won't stop laughing. It's fun on a whole different scale. Even if you're not into the whole creating thing (whicch is deep as hell btw), you can just play other peoples levels. There are already lots of cool ones that people have made in the beta.

I want to create levels. The tools to create these levels are very robust, and give you what seems unlimited possibities. I want to make puzzles for others to figure out, and I want to figure out the levels of others. You can have simple 'Mario' jumping around levels or you can make complex puzzling levels that require teamwork. Take your pick.

incredible emotes

physics engine

community features

charm

sackboy

and in a way, kind of similar with Spores, except this has platform gameplay instead of RTS

AND most importantly, it's not yet another generic shooter. Like Resistance 2 and Socom.

Yup, it's the single most charming game I've ever played. The beta is an old build, too, so I can't wait to see everything they've added to the latest build.

Ouch....

One objection I have to make about your obsertion that Socom is gonna be a generic shooter is that some of the Community has always played a roll in Socom. While the gameplay my not be ground-breaking You can bet your bottem dollar that the following that Socom will create will help boost the PS3 that much higher.

It is absolutely nothing like Spore. At all.
But I agree with that last comment, or at least the first half. There aren't TOO many tactical games like Socom.

When you are actually in the game play portion of it it is a side scroller like the old time mario games. Just 3D-iffied.

SOCOM fans are die hard :P, even if they hate it now, they will most likely turn around and buy it when it is actually released just because that's how hardcore the fans are :P.

There hasn't been a game like this on the 360 or the PS3 before. I'm having a hard time finding anything to compare it to. THe level creation has me hooked but it's also so friendly I can't stop myself from smiling. I'm a hardcore shooter player so I'm a little baffled by it as well. Maybe it has to do with the entire change of pace the game represents.

THIS GAME SUCKS AND THE ONLY REASON IT RECIEVES HALF THE HYPE IS BECAUSE YET AGAIN - PS3 OWNERS WHO HAVE SMALL MINDS ALWAYS PUSH THE "GREAT EXCLUSIVE PS3 GAME" BUTTON EVERY TIME THEY HAVE SOMETHING AN XBOX OR WII OWNER CAN'T PLAY.

RESISTANCE WAS AVERAGE.....BUT MANY SAID IT WAS GREAT.....WONDER WHY?

DRAKES FORTUNE WAS DECENT.....BUT NOT AS GREAT AS YOU SAY.....BUT BECAUSE ITS ON PS3 ONLY.....ITS THE BEE'S ELBOW.

So the appeal of LBP is that it gives the "fan boys" a reason to buy something and say its so amazing just like the best first person shooter ever "resistance".

Who wants to bet me that Resistance 2 will not be as good as Call Of Duty 4.

if this is even remotely true...then the taste of gamers has dropped dramatically in the last decade. Uncharted is one of the best platformers to come out in years and that cod4 comment is dumb. You are really going to condemn an fps for trying to be atleast somewhat unique with the variety of guns and different features given instead of just an optimized generic fps?and LBP is an amazing game made by people who used to work at Lionhead Studios....all of what you have said is just oppinion and pretty pitiful...

Have you even tried the game if you haven't i'd suggest keeping it to yourself because you have no idea what your even talking about.

... Am I the only one who wants to scratch this guys eyes out? I own a Wii, PS3, and 360. I can EASILY say that this game is like nothing else, EVER (Yes, my friend has a Beta Key so i have played with him). Have you played LittleBigPlanet?I guess not because you are saying its bad. Real gamers give ALL games a chance, and obviously you are a 360 fanboy. Nothings wrong with that, but when you idiots start calling our games trash because you don't have them? Go get a life.

By the way, the correct term is Bee's Knees...
