If you're not excited about LBP, you're a fake gamer.   Coming from a guy that's a fanboy of a console he's never owned, and thus doesn't know anything about it's good and bad points first hand. You're entitled to your opinion Trucko, I certainly feel the opposite (i didn't sign up for the beta because I wanted the full game on first play) but you're not wrong. Overhyped it is, but that's what alot of this generation is about really. Inside Joke is inside, Calamity. lol. It's a joke from RubangB's review of Brawl.

I flamed the crap out of you when you posted that on another thread, lol. Maybe it's not the best idea to go posting that around.

Its a quazi 2d platformer, not caring for the game probably puts you in with the majority of gamers out there.

Your the only one...

seriously it looks very uninspiring to me...

especially since every review says:
"plan shifting is really enoying.... but it doesn't matter 9.5/10"
that is a biased comment if I ever saw one....and you can bet your ass that the 9.5 is just there so we don't have an other GTA polemic on scores....

Honestly... it was very very disappointing... :(

Sold me on it, I was on the fence. Then again, I never hyped myself up for the best game ever like most others.

Haven't played it but seriously would not buy a PS3 for this especially now im hearing actual user opinions. MGS4 another story

Why do these professional reviewers not give reviews with honest opinion? Why the 6.1 user av. verses 9.5 for prof. on Metacritic.

I think a lot of people will end up disappointed by this game primarily because their expectations were too high. When people first started to hype Little Big Planet I was reminded of people's initial reaction to Black & White  ... When people start expecting too much from a videogame based on the hype surrounding the game it tends to end in disapointment regardless of how good the game really is.

Because all the xheads are the ones lowering its user score since they know its better than Fable 2 and probably also better than Gears 2. Speaking of Gears of War, I never really liked that American footballer rehash of every other game on the original xbox with a dash of RE4 thrown in that much either.

doesn't it strike you as suspicious that a game that isn't even out yet has 1800+ "user reviews" yet other games like mario galaxy, twilight princess and gears of war have well under 1000 "user reviews" despite actually being out for 1-2 years?

infact, if you scroll to the bottom of LBP's metacritic page, a staff member from says something about it.

"Marc Doyle, Games Editor: My advice for our faithful users is to focus your attention on the Metascore for this game and not the thousands of user votes, most of which have been submitted before said users have played the game. This is a gaming community, and if people want to stuff the ballot box, there's not much I can do at this point. When we upgrade the registration requirements for participation on the site in the near future, this type of thing won't happen. We'll post the full legitimate user reviews upon the game's release. As always, thanks for using the site."

does that explain the difference in scores well enough?
