Lots of hate here, but you have to remember that people can and will have differing opinions. I think that the fun I've had with LBP coop already sets it up as being the best platformer I've ever played simply from a fun aspect. Couple that with the fantastic art design that takes you straight back to being a kid and the incredible variety and quality of some of the user created levels, and yes I think you could make the argument.

 Ahh. I stand corrected. It's not quite what I had in mind. As that video kinda shows the hovering eliminates any kind of platforming gameplay. Flying or hovering in platformers should be limited or hard to do. (Racoon suit, cape, dixie's pony tail etc,etc.)

Unless it has its own Hollywood movie starring Fred Savage made just to promote it then LBP still has a long way to go before being best platformer ever

Based on this I expect Little Big Planet to have a metacritic ranking higher then Super Mario Galaxy, I also expect it to sale FAR better then Super Mario Galaxy alone, not including other platformers that were ever created. If it can't do this then it fails.

...This is the kind of stuff that I notice bout video game "journalist" that is frustrating at time. Sure everyone has a bias, but when you're SUPPOSE to be reviewing a product, don't look at the game in a vacuum. Far too many reviewers give personal conjecture instead of clear unbias opinions. ...Saying Little Big Planet is a great game, would have been enough...

I know what you're getting at, but I'm a believer after the beta. I honestly believe that LBP is the best platformer I've ever played. I would have loved to see mario go in this direction when it went 3D.

i love how everyone seems to LOVE LBP so much that people in denial are now using how much people like it as a negative.....this is incredibly entertaining to watch the people who predicted this game would bomb (review wise/sales)

I have no problem if it is after some time determined to be, in many people's opinion, the best platformer ever.

What i don't like is that it seems every second major release this generation is hailed as being the best thing ever before they are even released and fully played.

Sure there have been some great games this generation but if you were to believe mainstream gaming media, this is hands down the best generation ever, and it just isn't.........yet.

Back in generations past i would look at a single review of a game to reassure me that it wasn't total crap and then i would happily buy it. These days if games don't get > 93.4267% on Gamerankings they are considered a failure. If people were to hold their movies to such high standards the industry would have died years ago. When did good, stop being good enough?

^yeah.....net time you go for witty please make sure you know the history of that argument


everyone loved GTA 4, is it the best game ever (full of glitchs, weak story, tons of fetch quests) so really.....


so really having reviewers just love your game does not go as far as it once did

Bahaha... care to put your money where your mouth is?

Good thing there is freedom of speach, cus you are of the few that think is not a great game. Hope it makes you feel special.
