LittleBigPlanet is one of the biggest and most talked about games of 2008 among all consoles, the Sony Playstation 3 game may be the breaking point for the PS3 vs Xbox 360 debate.
For anyone that does not know much about LittleBigPlanet we have three videos below which give you a massive insight into the game, we have a community trailer, CES 2008: Demonstration and a Character Creation video below.
Many game sites are liking what they see when they review LittleBigPlanet, AMN Games said “Sony has accomplished the inconceivable: they have made their console appear attractive to me” and IGN said “While Sony has published some great games for their system like Uncharted and Ratchet and Clank, neither of those games really seem to have the staying power that LBP is poised to offer.”
LittleBigPlanet will not only be a game, but also a massive community and a way gamers can share their creations with friends, family and the world.
Although the Xbox 360 had a big start, it now looks like the Playstation 3 is turning heads its way.

God you XBOX 360 fanboys are real pieces of work. Why don’t you go spend time playing your wonderful system and stop pissing on every PS3 post. Maybe you are waiting for your next refurbished replacement system to come from Microsoft! You all talk about overhyped? You people hype up the XBOX 360 and XBL more than Sony could EVER do for any of its PS3 games.
@Matt This game makes you puke? Here Ill bring you a garbage can, puke your brains out. Don’t hold back.
Anyway, this game looks neat. I can imagine many possibilities this game can provide in making levels. Looking forward to it. It should compliment Home very well.
People who can’t see this game is groundbreaking are the ones who have no brains.
Playing too much XBOX FPS will make you brain dead.
What’s the point of shooting after shooting after shooting after shooting? IT has zero value.
XBOX fanboy have being pisoned by shooting games that they have no soul and no IQ.
A recent study show that playing FPS games makes you dumber, which is what we are seeing with XBOX players.
omg trevor, your a funny man!
the ps3 will always own the 360, and its the 360 that has always been in the deep end to begin with.
hahahaha
Well i am a really big fan of Sony. You can say i am a sucker for any sony product because i feel it is simply a much superior quality, but lately i have found myself playing on my XBOX360 and not even taking a glance at my PS3 anymore. I feel the same way most people do, that it that the PS3 has no games(YET). I really dont find any interest in this LBP game. And if sony is hoping this game will be the “turning point”… Then SONY has let me down…
I feel like if my ps3 is just a really expensive DVD player.
It always makes me laugh when a Sony fanboy attacks an Xbox fanboy for being a fanboy, hypocrisy anyone?
If anything i would say that the Sony fans just about have the edge on talking crap but then if you’re gonna treat console gaming like supporting a football team, it’s usually the team at the bottom of the league that makes the most noise, plus Product-Review has turned into a Sony fansite so i guess it’s like playing at home here.
I dont get you people you either like it or don’t like sony give a Sh*t your jus the consumers and IMO PS3 is better than Xbox 360, Yeh Ive got both around 30 games for the 360 and 7 for the PS3, PS3 has much more capanbilities than the Xbox 360 its at the end of its life in a year or so Xbox will jus make another xbox with a added HD-DVD player or Blu-Ray if HD-DVD isnt dead, and maybe that might have the Red lights of death, and PS3 will still not reach its full potential.

Well according to VGChartz the 360 has been the lowest selling console in the world for the last few weeks behind the DS, Wii, PSP, PS3 and PS2 so that must be why its fans are ranting about this game eh?
Its amazing how anyone who doesn’t own a 360 thinks it looks amazing and everyone who does ‘cant see the point’ or thinks it ‘looks dumb’.
Its just plain and simple jealousy that the PS3 is made by a company that brings true innovation and creativity to their console games.
LittleBigPlanet is going to be huge. This is an incredibly fun online 4 player plat former where its entirely possible to play every day for the rest of your life and never play the same level twice.

You really should stick to throwing you’re tantrum at somebody who actually gives a damn, such as another fanboy of the opposing team maybe.
On a side note i have no opinion of any kind for this game as it is a new franchise and i haven’t had a chance to play it yet, but you seem to be able to recommend it to everyone, i’m just wondering have you played it yet?
It seems to me, people bash this game for two reasons. One, they don’t understand the premise, fully. Two, they own a 360 and are closed minded. The second can’t be helped, but lets shed some light on the first, shall we? Ok, so you have two main aspects, custom levels and cooperation.
Custom Levels: In a normal game, one might play through level after level, until the game is completed. LBP, not only do you have a virtually unlimited number of levels, each level is different and offers new challenges and ways of thinking.
Cooperation: Does multiplayer, really, need to be VS? You and a few friends sit down and work together to beat level after level after level. I don’t know about anyone else, but I can imagine a lot of casual gamers sitting down with friends for hours looking for levels that look fun. They’d sit and yell and laugh at each other for messing up, and be proud of each other when they completed the level. That reason, is probably a top reason why people are saying this game will launch PS3 sales.
So, with those two points illustrated, anyone with a clear head can see the potential of this game. It doesn’t matter what your personal opinion of the game is. What matters is how well LBP appeals to the world. I’m betting on those two points appealing to a LOT of people.
As someone said earlier, it’s like YouTube. You sit down and watch(play) many different videos(levels). You can share them online, or have your friends come over and show them. OR, you can all play someone elses level (watch someone elses video, in the case of YouTube).
Will it make 360 users think, “I NEED a PS3, now!”? Probably, not. Will it stop people from buying a 360? Maybe, the ones who don’t want to buy a 360 *and* a Wii. Could it stop all the dramatic spins of bad press for the PS3? Yea, maybe. (Minus the 360 fanboys, of course).
Overall, the game has potential. I, personally, am not looking forward to it, but I can see why people are making a big fuss about it.
@Mike
Actually I considered getting a 360 because of XBL and a few of its exclusives, but I decided to wait until they have the RROD issue ironed out, and then I may own both systems by the end of this year.
My angst was mostly referring to people insulting this game for the sake of insulting it. I guess I shouldn’t expect any kind of objectivity in these blogs and their comments anyway.
You are right, this is almost like football. But the bottom team is starting their comeback
