Where the Heck is 1UP's Little Big Planet Review?

Why we haven't reviewed it yet -- and when you can look forward to seeing it!

Those among you who are eager to get your hands on Little Big Planet may have noticed a few early reviews hitting the Web over the past couple of days. So where's 1UP's review?

Well, we're waiting until we can check out a finished retail copy of the game. While our reviewer has spent plenty of time with both the beta and a near-final reviewable version, neither of those builds feature an online-multiplayer component that's reflective of the final game. We definitely aren't comfortable basing an opinion off the beta (due to numerous multiplayer connectivity problems...and, ya know, because it's a beta), we need to see how the final game's community features (such as how it sorts and categorizes custom levels) fare, and Sony doesn't currently have any early multiplayer servers set up for reviewers. So, the short answer is "stay tuned" -- our authoritative LBP review is coming and should be posted no later than the game's October 21 release date. All in good time!

Pretty decent move actually, the online component in retail is only going to be better than the beta's.

Current reviews are based on retail SP/Creation mode, but journalists/reviewers had to of played the beta to comment on online.

Looks like the GS review will be >= 9

Epic Fail: Games that will Probably Suck

LittleBigPlanet (releases Fall 2008)

To hear some journalists talk, Sony's LittleBigPlanet will become the reason to purchase the system. We say, "Hold on to your cash." Despite the cute characters, this is nothing more than a glorified version of PowerPoint fueled by gamers hoping to make their own "presentations". Talented players will create interesting and perhaps fun designs. Everyone else will make horrible levels. If you could design several stages, string them together and make your own platform game, that'd be cool, but for now, all we foresee is tons of crap content.

Now :p

Buy LittleBigPlanet or we'll kick you in your Sackboy.

Until recently, we had trouble enjoying Sony's ambitious PlayStation 3 video game, LittleBigPlanet. Its mascot, the adorable Sackboy, was shoved down our throats, and the level editor failed to thrill. Paying a company $59.99 to design their game made no sense, and we'd much rather play God of War over a crude homage, at least until a casual play session turned into an all day's romp through colorful worlds teeming with cute animals, twisted creations and catchy music. Now our heads are full of grinning Sackboys, previously completed levels and our own designs. We're hooked.

so, AB... you need to convince me to go right out and buy this next week w/ no hesitation.

I have a lot of faith that it would be a solid purchase, but i just wasnt THAT impressed w/ the beta... it was like "meh, it's fun to jump around, but what else?"

surely the last 71 pages can convince you no ? ;)

Well I've gone through what must be more than half of the game - I'm probably not too far from the end.

Hands down without a doubt one of the best platformers since the days of Sonic/Mario - 2D ones that is. **** 3D Sonic, and Mario 64/Galaxy exceptions since they are awesome 3D games.

Some of the level design is just brilliant.

Just playing through, you don't just think "oh wow, awesome level", you constantly think "oh wow, awesome level, and **** I/someone else can make this 1:1 in the editor".

The game has a storyline, but no, it's not winning any oscars :laugh: However it's funny and charming.

The amount of collectables per level is crazy - You WILL be replaying levels to get everything, plus every level has extra awards for "aceing" them (not dieing).

And finally, co-op level playing is gonna be a blast with the more complicated levels than those in the beta. A lot of levels require 2 people to unlock some collectables, a few 3 & 4 people.

Music and art direction are really good throughout as well.

It's a AAA title, no doubts, "everyone" with a PS3 should and must own it.

I say "everyone" because at heart, if you don't like platformers, you'll probably say no to this regardless. Unless you're a creative person?

Aside from good multiplayer games, like FPS', etc, this game is going to have some of the largest legs so far this gen from DLC and user creation, no doubts.

From me, I can say definitely GOTY contender for my list - Would be surprised if it doesn't win, but the years not finished, only fair to judge all the games I play.

It's knocked MGS4 away from my GOTY - Not on story lol, but just from the sheer experience of something fresh and new.

Media Molecule kick ass :yes:

But it might be a pre-order :o

One of the gold trophies

Play - Complete all story levels without dying, with the exception of those levels that only end when you die

Corris/KoL, try your hardest LOL

Oh man, I need to try and find this somehow. Has anyone in the states gotten it early, and if so, where?

Also, IGN gave it a 9.5 - Incredible, saying it is a must have even without the level creation tools. Cannot wait, for real.

    • After enabling it in about:config, customize, density, compact; the toolbar/address bar gets smaller vertically. I enabled Nova, I notice the tab bar/title bar is a bit larger vertically now? Everything always becomes a waste of space.
    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.
