Forums - Sony Discussion - The Official LBP2 Review Thread

Maybe its becuase English isnt your first language, but they say the exact opposite;

to quote:

"LBP2 is much more than DLC packaged on a Blu-ray disc and sold at full price."

and to summarise:

These additions take LBP2 far beyond mere premium DLC. So, yes, it’s more dynamic than the original package in every way that makes sense – at least within that same world that Media Molecule constructed in 2008. And therein lies LBP2’s inherent restriction. It provides a revolution, but only inside its own idiosyncratic attitude and aesthetic. Sackboy remains Sackboy, and he won’t convert those who didn’t like the way he behaved in LBP. And for all the fascinating flexibility of its toolset, clearly this is still a framework: you can stamp a creation with your own style, but the overall vibe will ultimately be Media Molecule’s. For those who are happy to embrace it, though, LBP2 represents a dazzling new opportunity for creating deep, diverse and ingenious play. [9]

In other words if you liked LBP, you will LOVE this and if you didnt like LBP you will probably not like this. Luckily I fall into the former.

Yeah... not my first language... but that's time was much more a mistake than lacks of knowledge LOL.

The score is more nonsense now you explained better.

My complain with score (all the reviews scores actually) is how can a reviewer give a low score for a game way better than original... so the original not deserve the first score? or the sequel deserve a better one?

Anyway... 9 is a AMAZING score.

My pre-order is looking wise.

I am only waiting for the Edge review.  They gave LBP a 10/10 and showed once again why they are the best reviewers out there imo. 

 


I thought you said that scores didn't matter but the content of the review did...hmm....

Thats right... read the review and see what I mean.   

I have always said no game deserves a 10, at least these guys dont throw them around like confetti.   

Edge are a refreshing change to the moronic and robotic (dyslexic) sheep that write most reviews.... imo. 

I think their very small list of 10's (13 or 14 I think) is to be applauded, they are nobody's puppets.

The only thing EDGE is good in, is giving 360 exclusives higher scores than other reviewers and PS3 exclusives lower scores than the other reviewers, dont know how someone could call them "best reviewers out there".

Their bias against Sony is so fking obvious even a blind man would see it

That's what happens when the bar is raised, and the bar is especially raised for a game as beloved as LBP. LBP was recognized for its new ideas, and while LBP2 has many new ideas of its own, none of them are as groundbreaking or gamechanging as what we saw in the first game. So while LBP2 is still a great game, it builds upon what was done with LBP rather than really expanding the LBP framework, which means it gets slightly lower scores.

Ok. You and me knews that but the normal reader of the magazine? People that just read de final score...

LBP: 10/10
LBP2: 9/10

So... LBP is better than LBP2... I have LBP so why I may buy the new one?  LBP is for casual gamers and casual gamer not read the fucking review... just read the score.

That's happed with all other reviewers... and the hability to compare reviews by score became wrong... just  because the reviewers don't have a common sense for their scores.

 It is?  oh ok.. I stand corrected.

incidentally this is their list of 10/10's

The magazine has awarded a 10/10 score to thirteen games:

NINTENDO: 4

PLAYSTATION: 6 (2 exclusive)

XBOX: 6 (2 exclusive)

WINDOWS: 2

Damn those XBOX fanboys at EDGE!!

Halo ODST : 9/10

MGS4 : 8/10

.........

That's not really great logic. EDGE gave Halo 3 10/10, so why should I bother with Halo: Reach since it only got 9/10 and is obviously worse?

Some people will agree with that, some wont.... I dont. I'd give ODST 8.5 and MGS4 7.5... MGS4 was all a little to self indulgent for my liking.

But picking out individual results like this proves nothing.... over the long term there is simply no evidence of bias whatever sony fans believe... This gen we have seen uproar everytime a PS3 exclusive doesnt get more than a 9.  Its weak.

Well, Infamous - 7/10

Crackdown 2 - 8/10 (<----Holy SHIT, its as good as MGS 4)

Amazing lmao.

Sorry, I don't believe edge.
