I'm fully expecting high 9s. I feel that reviewers will feel hypocritical if they give this game a score below AAA, after their high praise of it in previews.

If the game lives up to the hype or not(I think it might) it is virtually guarnteed to receive critical praise for, if nothing else, originality.

 

Not that I think it will turn out the same way, but there were tons of people who were saying that Lair had only received glowing previews without any talk of flaws before it was released ... Game previews are always amazingly optimistic in part because harsh previewers don't get the opportunity to preview games in the future, and partially because you only get to play a (very) tiny portion of the game that has been purposefully choosen because it will demo well and is then polished to an unusually high level.

I'm not saying it is, but there is the possibility that Little Big Planet could be one of those games that previews really well ... If you've ever downloaded a physics demo for something like fluid dynamics, the 'playground' effect makes it really interesting to try a lot of things for 10 or 20 minutes; a couple hours into the game the 'playground' effect will have (likely) worn off and the game will run the risk of getting very stale.

indeed, but reviewers has played it countless of times, for over an hour as well.
