Potential Little Big Planet purchase for me...need help - Blu-ray Forum

soright903 · 12-26-2008, 07:38 PM

I have a question for all you Little Big Planet players? I have never been a fan of games where you create your own level, world, etc (my sims, etc). But this game has me intrigued, especially after the Metal Gear pack announcment. Does it deliver a fun single player expierence, if I dont plan to spend most of the time building my own levels? What do ya'll think. I have some money and exchanges to make the next few days

Thanks for you input!

Yes, there is a single-player mode that enables the creation tools and it is very enjoyable. The levels vary in difficulty, from ones that challenge experienced gamers, mostly due to iffy jumping mechanics, and others that my 3 year old nephew enjoyed.

Its very enjoyable for single player. It has its own single player campaign, and if you don't want to spend your time creating levels, and you have internet access you can just play everyone elses levels by your self. Its a pretty awesome game.

The single player campaign is amazing even without the online component. It complements it, not replaces it.

I would suggest renting it first. Just because other people like it, doesn't mean you will like it. I was thinking of getting it but I rented it first, and I'm glad I did. While it is a good game, I found I got bored rather quickly with none of my friends having the game.

I agree with what everybody else has said. I haven't even built my own level yet and love this game as a single player game. It's not really like anything out there right now. My wife and 6 year old love it too. It's a game for all ages.

The other cool thing is that you can also go online and play levels created by other people and some of them are very good. I was just playing one today by thegide (psn id, not sure what his screen name here is) it's called altar of palancthar. Really nice job and cool to play other peoples levels. Plus you get "unlocks" and trophies from playing their levels too.

This game is one of the must own games for PS3, in my opinion.

True.

If you are iffy about this game then maybe you should rent it first. It was a no brainer for me and my family though and a very good purchase.

thanks guys for your input, I bit the bullet and bought it. I picked up resistance 2 and 007 as well

I hope they are good.

silversnake · 12-26-2008, 11:06 PM

I've made 1 level and spent countless hour trying to build different vehicles. That being said, there is more than enough for you to play in this game just with single player and other user created levels. There are some really , really good levels out there that people have created.

I love Resistance 2, I really enjoyed playing it. I hope you enjoy LBP as well.

You just picked up 2 of the best games of 08 for PS3 so you're safe. I can't speak for 007 since i've never played it. I haven't played an online shooter as much as resistance 2 since I stopped playing counter-strike.

I hated resistance 1 , I really did and I tried enjoying it. I got resistance 2 because I felt the need to give it a chance and because those monsters looked epic. I got that same feeling after playing resistance 2 but this time I pushed thru it and I learned to enjoy it and by the end I was hooked. Makes me wonder if the same thing would have happened with resistance 1 but it is what it is. Resistance 2 is amazingly fun , especially online.

I messed around with the create a level, but I find I don't have the time to create a good level. I downloaded the Metal Gear Solid add, it made playing LBP fun again.

I just picked up Tomb Raider as well. Only played about 15 minutes of it though.

Resistance 2 is a good game. Both single player and multiplayer. Just beat it about 2 weeks ago. You don't need to beat R1 but it's a good play.

I had the same feeling about Resistance 1 when I first started playing. I couldn't get into it at all. Then, I put it back in and played a little longer and was hooked on it. That's what got me to buy Resistance 2.
