Here is the latest preview of Little Big Planet from Leipzig. I have highlighted some snippets for people who think this game will fail.
"Wonderfully, a recently revealed feature is the option to lip-synch your SackBoy when using a USB/Bluetooth headset with the PS3, making it appear as though your character is the one doing the talking."
"Succeeding in working together in passing obstacles or collecting those last elusive bits of Fluff is immensely satisfying gameplay, and failing in your objectives is hilarious – thanks to the physics and the personality of the SackBoys."
"Having played a four-player game with complete strangers and having a great laugh, I can state that LBP will arguably be the most entertaining co-op experience of the year."
"This game should have widespread appeal, and be one of the few Playstation 3 games that bridges the casual/hardcore divide. LittleBigPlanet may well be the Next Big Thing."

Two more things:
I have played this game and will be playing it again at PAX. I can wholeheartedly agree with that preview, both pros and cons. I don't post these articles often, but I think this one was inline with my impressions whole heartedly. If anyone wants my detailed impressions, just let me know.
I see people on this forum constantly belittling, prejudging, and outright mocking Little Big Planet. Most of these people do it out of an irrational hatred towards Playstation 3, however I feel like- I should put my two cents in. I'll say this once: If you remember the magic you felt the first time you played any of the Mario games, you will get the same feeling when you play this game. All you Wii owners, who are on the fence and fail to see any value in the Playstation 3, I think this will be the game (and hopefully Ratchet Quest for Booty) to make you question its worth. Without further ado, please read and respond.
