There are many games releasing this year that have me excited, on the Xbox and the PS3, specially PC with Starcraft 2 (if it comes out this year). Among the games I'm most excited about is Little Big Planet; experts are calling it the next big thing. Before you get all inquisitive and analytical about the innovations in the game, let me tell you that the game involves little pi ata-type creatures and a lot of building blocks. There are a few videos out in the market that explain the game mechanics; no public beta has been released, so only a handful of people have played the game. I've gathered info from a couple of videos: this is a game with some fun involved without shooting aliens or stealing cars. It is a PS3 exclusive and, according to many, a big reason to buy the PS3.

The Summary
There are two important aspects of LBP. The first is to create, and the second is to play. In LBP you will control a little character nicknamed "Sackboy" -- this cute character will listen to your every command, including slapping other sackboys. In LBP, your character has to cross a puzzle level as soon as possible. These levels will include various puzzles that you create.



The game includes a simple tool set which can be used to custom create levels using various objects and materials. You can create a tree by placing a large block of wood and then trimming it to look like a tree; then you can add leaves and make it look genuine. You can then copy the tree and replicate it five times. Next, you can add some more elements -- like a large house, or a path of fire, or anything. These will be available in the game, and you can create your own items. The idea is to create a community based on these levels and share it with others on the PSN. Many call it the YouTube of gaming.

What I meant is, is that you don't have to crete your own levels to just play the game, 50 levels will come with LBP ready to play and the last I gathered from certain interviews was that it might even feature a story mode.

The game will come with 50 pre-made levels for you to enjoy which will have enemies, bosses, traps and other assorted puzzles.
