Koku Gamer writes: "What makes Little Big Planet so attractive it's not just its lovable art-style, but its way of transmitting the message to the end consumer that the game never really has to end.

This game is so much better with user created content, and as the author pointed out some gamers have amazingly creative minds out there. I think LBP is a success, no questions asked

The best part is that the game feels like you can never beat it, because each piece of content is different and makes the game feel new.

Since I'm a HUGE fan of the Metal Gear Universe I def. loved the MGS theme, nothing beats that.

I still need to play LittleBigPlanet. My Xbox 360 fanboy-ness has kept me away from it...

Oh man are you serious. MGS4, Little Big Planet is the biggest reason why I bought a PS3. And there is even a bigger reason this year with all the sweet games.

I dont blame you bro for loving the 360, its an awesome system with awesome games. However LBP is just oozing with awesomeness. MGS4 is the best game of this generation, and personally if you want to play MGSR on 360 then I would buy MGS4 just to get to know Raiden. You will appreciate it a lot more. Should try them out bro

That is if you havent already tried them^^

The best game was last year beside MGS4 with so many awards only on PS3...

The whole 360's last year library failed before it.

Someone is going to make the shadow game level... on LBP I mean... that would be funny. Let's just see who's the first.

It's a shame LBP wasn't the success it obviously desserved to be... well done 'hardcore gamers' look down on anything original, funny or cartoony but buy the generic FPS which you love so much.

Apparently it sold like 1 million or that's what it did last I checked.

And let's face it W@W which is = COD 4 sold more on the PS3...

Originality is getting praised but never bought. Everyone on here goes.... WOOH original, looks fun, awsome styled graphics... but the sales don't reflect how good the game is.

One of the greatest level designers I've seen is 'mrsspookybuzz' - Fantastic levels, great ideas and technically brilliant. Take a look at the 'Hyper Cube' levels ;D
