I had been anticipating the release of Little Big Planet for PS3 at least a year before it even hit shelves. The glorious day finally came, I hoped in my buggy and headed to my local Target in hopes of obtaining a copy. I had it in my hands, literately in my hands, and would you believe the guy behind the counter wouldn't sell it to me.
I wanted to call shenanigan's, I wanted to have him put away, arrested, beat up in the parking lot. How dare he tell me I couldn't have it. For a hot moment I thought maybe I should make a run for the door, escape with my copy of Little Big Planet for PS3. Steal it.
You see, it turned out that the very first released game was banned! Wat, want, wahhh...
After frantically searching online for an answer, I discovered that Little Big Planet for PS3 was being banned for some ridiculous commotion of lyrics.
I thought about buying a dirty copy of Little Big Planet for PS3 from Amazon, but the game normally would sell for $60.00, and these greedy clowns were selling the original ultra rare banned copies for close to $200.00. I love games, but heck no. I could buy myself another Nintendo Wii for that price!
The day though did finally come when I finally could get Little Big Planet for PS3. A month late, but finally I had my game. The built up anticipation nearly made me puke. I had to literately wait a few hours before even playing it, because it was too much for my mind to handle at the moment. A mini world of my own; to live, create, play, build.
Once I started the game up I became mesmerized with my Sackboy. He's your character, and he is an adorable little voodoo doll like creature, so adorable that you will want to reach into your TV and pull him out to give him big cuddly hugs.
The introduction in Little Big Planet for PS3 was most weird, and frankly the most unique introduction to a game I'd ever experienced. I steered my sackboy through a straight side scrolling path; the path however was filled with all sorts of quirky objects, pictures, stickers, and Toto, we definitely are not in Kansas anymore. Things here in this Little Big Planet for PS3 are definitely different. I have to give major kudos to the team of game developers who came up with this one, they are truly one of a kind.
Objects looked so realistic, environments so rich with color, oddity, and if you were like me, and believed in 'little people' as a kid, this game will totally give you that sense of being temporarily dropped off into a world where you are one with the little people; invading their world, peeking into it and enjoying every second of it.
A world where thimbles are chairs, sewing spools are tables, forks and knives become slides for unique mini playgrounds, balloons become rides into the sky, matchbox cars become fully accessible and use-able cars, and if that does not excite you, you can make something of your own. Anything of your own!
