| ultimate_123 said: The gameplay is not very exciting. Its basically like a 2-d sidescroller with good graphics and physics. It really is get from point 'a' to point 'b'. Now I know nearly all games are from points a to b but this game has it in a very bait way. Also the user created content is exciting but very little of it includes gameplay, most of it is just jumping and seeing the stuff happen. Where's the gameplay in that? You also have to spend a lot of time creating levels only for them to turn out to be roughly 2-5 minutes long. I mean whats the points in spending 2 hours if the level only turned out to be 2-5 minutes long? Overall while I absolutely love the graphics there isn't much behind it. I expect a average score of 65-80 on Metacritic. |
The beta ships with the first 5 levels. They are essentially a tutorial to get you used to the controls and the general mechanics of the game. The actual game includes 8 - 12 hours of gameplay with up to 60 levels created by the developer. 8 - 12 hours seems to be the average length of retail games this generation. The first 5 levels were not particularly challenging, but they were fun and gave a good view of the overall game. Some of the user created levels were extremely challenging/fun and rewarding.
At its core, this is an opinion thread and it is not likely that your opinion will change. There have been many opinions posted about this game and you are in the minority with your opinion. I have seen enough in the Little Big Planet beta that I know it will be enjoyable for me.
Thanks for the input, Jeff.
