I've played the big hitter exclusive for both systems this past month n half. This means playing through Resistance 2, Gears 2, Fable 2, and LBP. One title ive played this month, but was multiplat is dead space. However, i can clearly say without a doubt that the PS3 has done a better job than the 360 in this flood of games. In addition, the PS3 has released one of the hottest titles this year MGS4, which i've played.
Here is my comparison, R2's storyline imo was not as good because it could almost be a standalone, the color difference in the second one also gives the game a different feel which makes it worse for fans of the first. Online for R2 however is awesome, 60vs 60, and co op maps where u take down up to 50 enemies at once laglessly is the best.
Gears 2 on the other hand offered a decent story line, even though it seemed like the first had a more epic ending. Looking aside that, the online seems fun, ableit like the first, but with more game modes. Hence Gears 2 is almost equivalent or a little worse than gears 1 imo. When comparing Gears 2 to R2, I'd have to say both are almost the same in terms of quality, therefore its a stalemate there.
Onto Fable2. Fable 2 starts off in an epic pace, with what seems to be an awesome game in the making. You soon find out however that it lacks a good story line. The problem is not just the short length of the story, which could easily be forgiven by sidequests, but the fact that they don't connect u with ur character as good as they could've done. The ending is rushed, i'm not going to even say that it seems rushed, because it is. For the people who've played fable 2, can u clearly say that u were not dissappointed with the ending a little? I know that when i finished it, i thought it wasn't done because it seemed too abrupt. On top of that, it seems that the sidequests aren't that fun. An RPG without a good story doesn't make a good RPG.
Little Big Planet is by far the most fun i've had in a while. This game presents itself as just an all gameplay game. While people may complain that it doesn't have a good storyline, i say to them that this game doesnt need to have a good storyline. There's a storyline no doubt, but just the sheer amount of environments and replayability it has makes this game worth it. I'll give a perfect example that u could compare this game to and that would be the 2d marios. Mario did not, i repeat did not need to have a good storyline, but it had awesome gameplay elements that made it fun. The same is said about LBP. However, it adds something extra by allowing u to build levels and share them online thereby extending the games lifespan. So imo LBP>Fable 2. If there are any other big exclusive games that u could add plz tell so i can play.
