OK, I MUST be missing the point to this game, right? I must be. Everyone seems to think it's glorious, and so when I first switched it on I'll admit I was more than a little excited. It doesn't take a lot for me to enjoy a game, it really doesn't, but I was bored after two minutes.
But, ohhh, you can create your own levels and design your own little sack-man-thing. Who the fuck cares? I don't. I want to sit down and play a platformer, not this tedious horseshit.
Maybe I've been spoiled by playing non-stop Mario on the Wii and the DS, (how times change, hmm? Didn't I create a thread six months ago about how I just couldn't get into Mario games?) but Little Big Planet is a major disappointment.

 You know I tried and tried to see what everybody was on about with that game. I never played it since I don't have nay friends with a PS3, but I watched the videos and read the reviews and all that and heard everybody rant and rave about how the Xbox 360 could NEVER compete with such a mastepiece and I just didn;t see it. I like designing my own avatar and all, but I can do that in any number of RPG's and it doesn't have to be a shitty little cute "sackboy" in those. I don't have 10 hours to build the ultimate customized level that nobody aside from me will ever play and after spending that much time building it I wouldn't want to ever see it again or play it either. I just. Don't. Get it. I think it was about the first decent game released on the PS3 that wasn't already out and didn't play better on the 360 so the fanboys and critics just overreacted to keep the big guys at Sony happy. How does your wife feel a about it? |

It doesn't have the letters P O K E M O N in that order so she's not even looked at it. I can't imagine she'll like it either, but then she loves all the Civilization and Sim City/Theme Park/Slaughterhouse games, which to me look about as much fun as sitting on a spike, so who knows?

I love Civ (that's what we call it)! There was this Jurassic Park game on the old Xbox where you got to actually design and manage the park. Nobody else ever played it, but to me it was absolutely geektacular.

Yeah, see, that sounds.... OK. Boring as all hell but still.. OK.
The thing that bugged me most about fucking "Civ" wasn't the game itself, I could go into the next room and let her play that. It was those fucking annoying to the nth degree voices that I would hear every two seconds. Those "wacky" voices will haunt me till the day I die.

Just be happy she isn't into real-time strategy games. I used to play the hell out of Warcraft on PS1 and there were these dwarf units that would go growl "aye, laddie!" after every single command. Every unit said something, but the "Aye, laddie!" over and over was the funniest. Drove my wife nuts. Or the Sims. Some singers actually record songs in the nonsense language (Simlish) they speak in those games.
