IGN: LittleBigPlanet UK Review

Planet Earth. Or as the rest of the ominverse call it, The Orb of Dreams; the occupants of which spend so much time asleep and dreaming, their vast imaginations humming away, charged with creative energy. Where does it all go? Up through a cerebral umbilical chord where it collects and melds with all the other dreamers’ energy. And something wonderful happens. It forms a world, an ethereal dreamscape of adventure and possibility. An abstract plane of beautiful wonderment, just waiting to be explored. And you can go there now…

And so begins LittleBigPlanet. It’s an opening than perfectly encapsulates Media Molecule’s vision of chaos, creativity and community; way more so than any bemused preview or developer insight ever could. As Stephen Fry’s perfectly intoned whimsy builds, it’s hard not to fall instantly for the game’s charms. It’s affectionate, fantastical and utterly irresistible – if you ever wanted a hug from a videogame, now’s your chance.
