LBP intro confirms game as greatest ever |

I often said to friends back in Nintendo’s dark days that I would buy a Nintendo system just so I could play Mario. To me most Mario games are worth a $200-$300 investment. I know it’s just one game but it’s just that good. I believe the technical term is a system seller. Well after watching the above video of the intro to the LittleBigPlanet Beta I dub it the PS3’s first true system seller. I will pay $500-$600 for this game, hell I might pay that much just to watch someone else play it.
The gameplay in the video is basically a simple tutorial but it’s full of what makes LittleBigPlanet so special. The entire level is constructed out of random objects, the narrator is spot on and if kids aren’t demanding their parents buy them sackboys this holiday season then I will officially announce that I am out of touch with the youth. I love that the intro level is also the opening credits. How frickin’ clever is that!? I must say, I wanted this game before but now I need it. And all from a tutorial.

It really is something special.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s the greatest ever. Little Big Planet certainly looks like it will move a lot of units for Sony, and it definitely will bring a lot to the table in terms of gameplay. I just can’t get too excited about it, though. The narrator made me giggle. Very cute. But I don’t like how they added the creators’ faces to the level. It would have been better to keep only names there, but that’s just my gripe with it. If I had a PS3 I’d give it a try, but I don’t know. I think I’d play it for a little while and get bored with it. I hope you get it as quickly as you can though, and enjoy the hell out of it!

That was both brilliant and funny! Just a ’sack-full’ of awesomeness!

They picked the best guy to do the voice over, Stephen Fry is a legend.

Definitly what is called a killer Aps, meaning People (and will be part of them) will buy the console for this game! Good things too that the controller is now with Rumble and the price lower :)…

What an inspired choice getting Stephen Fry to do the voice. God, I love that man. He is a national treasure and I would buy the game just to hear him speak (nearly).
