GameSpot Review

Archive: 14 posts


GameSpot gave LBP a 9.0. They always underrate games & their reasons aren't even sufficient enough to play taken down 1 full point. There complaints are Short Story Mode, Camera Struggles In Multiplayer, & It Is A Bit Daunting At 1st. Can't post link, I'm on my PS3.2008-10-16 21:35:00

Ok, first of all, here's the full review:
http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/littlebigplanet/review.html?tag=tabs;reviews


The Good:
* Incredibly varied and imaginative levels
* Excellent musical score and narration
* Immense customisation and creativity potential
* High replayability factor.
The Bad:
* Short story mode
* Camera struggles in multiplayer
* Building a compelling level can be time-consuming.



Secondly, a 9 is GREAT..Honestly, I understand this is like the best game ever for most of the people here, but don't become fanboys about it. You can't expect a 10 from every reviewer, people do have varied opinions.
This game still isn't perfect, despite how amazing it is.
Remember, a 10 doesn't even mean a game is perfect. People need to get off that.

They gave MGS4 and GTA4 both a 10. LBP deserves the same and you know it.

They're just reviews at the end of the day, we know how awesome the game is and that's all that matters.

And so did most other sites. >_>
GTA4 deserves an 8.5 at best. And a 9.5 for both MGS4 and LBP...IMO.

I was expecting something like an 8.9 from gs, just low enough to create two pages of whinging on gamefaqs.2008-10-16 22:17:00

lol, gamefaqs is whining already. They wanted more :/ Just wait till everyone notices the review tomorrow.

And they don't use that kind of rating system anymore >_> They use the .5 one.

Agreed. If I were to give any game a ten it would be LBP though but as much as I love it, it's definetly not "perfect" which is what 10 is. A lot of review sites seem to think GTA4 and MGS4 are "perfect" when really they both have just as much flaws as LBP.

I think one of their negative points is really that it isn't hyped enough. You want to look me in the eye and say that GTA4 is really better than LBP? Come on.

It's like Mercenaries 2 getting a 5. They pick and choose which games are "good" and "bad". Anybody remember what happened to Jeff? Since then I haven't much cared for Gamespot's method's.

But in the end, irrelevant.
What isn't irrelevant is the next 5 days. I think that I may go completely with waiting this weekend.

Yep, I was right on, there. Actually, the review was a bit kinder than I was thinking it would be. Although the score...is just what I expected. Really, a nine from GameSpot is pretty dang awesome. Take a look at lots of the other games with that rating, and yeah. You've got yourself a winner.2008-10-16 23:33:00

Yeah, really. How stupid can this statement be? If you have an editor where you have the freedom to do whatever you want (meaning it's not only a canvas where you are proposed a number of options) then obviously, it will take some hours to created a level better than the average.

Can anyone even think about making awesome stuff simply pressing 3 buttons and voila, it's done? Nothing in life works like this.
