UK:RESISTANCE 'main page'
No, because it's the bemused silence as the game buying public fire up Little Big Planet and then realise that it's actually not very good after all and isn't the game that is going to sell millions of PS3s. Don't take our word for it, here's a sample of opinion from a few gaming forums. And these are the very people who've been wanking themselves silly for the last few weeks over clever, but pointless levels constructed by weird, obsessive Japanese people.


"I'm 20 minutes into playing one of the most outrageously shit pieces of game design, ever."

"Either I'm missing something, or this whole section relies on luck and the grip button working 100% (which it doesn't, ever)"

"I got through the first terrible part, and there's another bit just as bad after it"

"It's some of the shittiest game design ever and incredibly frustrating, and after all that came before it I'm really disappointed."

"...been some really frustrating times having to restart the entire level again"

"The damned thing is a chore and I'm going to get through on luck rather than any repeatable skills because what works one time, might not work the next."

"an unfair, badly thought out piece of shit"

"makes you also feel like you are fighting the controls rather than just playing the game."

seems like i'm not the only one really disappointed that Little Big Planet isn't the sequel to Little Big Adventure.

Lets face it, Media Molecule wanted to make a graphical showcase game for the PS3 but soon realized that the hardware wasn't all it was cracked up to be so they limited it to a retro side-scrolling run and jump game.

Then they realized that it still couldn't hack it so they slowed it right down to a zero gravity style jumping speed, this obviously made the game too easy to complete in record quick time so they screwed up the controls just enough to make it a frustrating and aukward experience.

The end result, a pretty, shitty, retro platform game that Sony fanboys can show off on Youtube but not bother actually playing because it's actually quite crap.

Hey look, I'm all for fighting the good fight, but at its current rate LBP is doing better than Wind Waker was. Last time I checked, being comparable to even the worst-performing Zelda title still puts a $60 tech demo pretty high up on the sales rankings.

Never mind it sold MORE week 2 than week 1.

Of course, the PS3's got a miriad of fucking reasons it's crashing into 3rd (read : It's already there and it doesn't look like it's getting 2nd place anywhere but Japan, where it's down 3 to 1 against the Wii... oh, and nobody's buying Blu Ray movies.)

I knew it would be a Jax when I saw there were no images. Dammit, we need images. A completely unrelated one of Keeley would be fine.

Zelda's fucking rubbish, and completely irrelevant, fuck off.

Pedro, just a heads up but bad games can sell well too...

LBP was always more hype than substance. The beta was a massive pile of shit.

Can anyone tell me how this is different / better than Clockwork Knight?!? (is it just the fact it's in High Def?!?)

You even had to buy an overpriced black slab of a console which supported a weird film format (video cd!) and was dying on it's arse sending the parent company bankrupt to play Clockwork Knight.

Sony ... please stop copying Sega so closely - It's too embarrassing. You will never create greatness on a par with Sega Rally or ... err Chu Chu Rocket.

Sony was good in the past, don't forget that. The PS1 and PS2 were great consoles. Just this one sucks shit.

Wow Jax, a weekend update - you are really spoiling us.

The PS2 was a fucking pile of shit. The Dreamcast still has the better library of games even though the PS2 has been hanging around for 8 years.

This article is very bias.

Half of the quotes have no backing to them, what's worse is that you get these from gaming forums (HOW AMAZING RELIABLE!)

LBP is a very good game, reliable controls and something that can be very addicting... For future referance, don't take quotes from gaming forums and actually have a back to each statement.

I got it the other day and it has all the appeal of doing the cleaning. It has to be done but it isn't enjoyable. The levels are too cluttered, the design is shit and i am going to put it on ebay after i have wrote this.

I think it was Eugene Jarvis who said that people who make games like this have no idea how to make it good so they give it to you to finish - make your own levels-.

What the fuck does "addicting" mean?
Blogger Tomleecee said...
It's received almost universally positive reviews, but having viewed gameplay footage I have to say I'm not at all impressed by LBP. Granted, I haven't actually played it, but it just looks a bit, well, dull. And I gather that if you're not online, the level-sharing aspects are totally redundant. Hmm...
Blogger Branch-me-do said...
It's what Americans think is a synonym for 'addictive'.

Well done on the Clockwork Knight spot. Reminds me also of Bug. Two Saturn launch titles hmm...

Bug's fucking rubbish, but highly relevant :P

ive been playing it for a few days, and first thing i thought of was clockwork knight.

love clockwork knight and LBP borrows, ok STEALS, heavily from it.

And regarding fighting the controls, thats very true, you spend most of the time worrying about how you have manuvered the thumbsticks as opposed to enjoying a 2D platformer like you normally would.
Anonymous Sam said...
everyone here backing LBP is pretty obviously a PS3 owner who can't rely any more on using resistance:fall of man to justify their exorbitant purchase, and is also disappointed at the fact that they could NEVER use MGS4 to the same end.

I am a Sega fanboy to the end but LBP is actually a pretty good game. I've been reading UK:R for years and I understand it is a joke site but bashing one of the few original games to come out this generation is pretty lame.

Have fun pretending 'The Club' is a good game whilst you wank it to the Richard Jacques tunes wankers.

The club is an excellent game.

I hate to admit it though.... Little big Planet really appeals to me. I really like it. Like Really. It does have really irritating controls though, and is far from perfect, but it has been a while since a decent platform game thats multiplayer has been out.

UK:R is not a joke site! It was the last hope of Sega fans everywhere to crush Sony. I say "was" because we won over a year ago and we have been enjoying Sony's death throes and hi-res Dreamcast logos from real life ever since. Now we wait for the second coming of the Dreamcast.
