Little Big Planet!

So I have to write a blog about how awesome the game Little Big Planet (for PS3) is. If you've never played it, you're missing out BIG TIME. And while I will try to explain it, no explanation can really do this awesome game justice.

See, the thing about this game is it is appealing to ALL ages and kinds of people- from gamers to young kids to just average adults. What's even more is, as my boyfriend put it, "This game proves that you don't need guns, violence, and gore for a game to be fun." Yes- this game is innocent enough for the whole family to play, but weird enough to keep anyone's attention!

Little Big Planet takes place on Little Big Planet- the place of imagination. Your character is a little SackBoy. When you first get him, your SackBoy is made of plain brown material. As you progress throughout the game, you collect new materials for your SackBoy to be made out of, and you also get clothes and accessories to dress it in.

The game starts in Story Mode, which you start in the Gardens levels, and progress from here. In addition to collecting items and materials for your SackBoy, there are stickers and decorations to collect. Both stickers and decorations can act as switch triggers to open up hidden areas in various levels, but they serve another very important function: you can create your own levels! Online players can play your levels, and you can play levels that other players have created. Also, you can partner up with another player and play a "story mode" level together.

I think the most fun part of this game is how... original? Twisted? Weird? It is. For some reason, I highly doubt the creators of this game were sober when they brainstormed. This just makes the game more fun! It's the kind of world you can't even imagine, because it's so creative... it just leaves you wondering: How the hell was some brilliant enough to come up with this?! I wish I could describe this more in detail, but it's so hard. Watch this video- it's sweet- and will give you some insight into just how awesome this game is! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ihj6nLMnVM
