This has enabled the designers to create more pinpoint-accurate jumps and tighter areas to maneuver through. There's still a hint of float in the way that he jumps (which helps avoid making his handling feel a little too unfamiliar), but this time around he is far more adept and controllable.

Or hits it for six, as seems more appropriate considering the game's continually English bent.įirst up - and it's a hallelujah for those who didn't like LBP's vague jumping mechanics of yore - Sackboy's leaping abilities have been given a major overhaul for his third outing. Sure, it doesn't quite have some of the signature, natural humor and those deft little touches of the first two - the narrative and dialog do occasionally feel like they're trying a little too hard - but in terms of the gameplay, LBP 3 knocks it out of the proverbial ballpark. Indeed, I'd even go so far to say that this is perhaps the best LittleBigPlanet yet. And what they did for Turn 10's franchise, it seems they have also been able to do for Media Molecule's progeny. This time, the further adventures of Sackboy haven't been penned by LBP originators Media Molecule, but are instead the product of Sumo Digital, the development team that recently created one of my favorite games of the year so far - Forza Horizon 2.

#Psn stuff little big planet database series#
But could this too be deep-sixed by technical issues?įortunately, after playing the game extensively, I think my blushes have been spared - because this third saunter out for the rather jolly LittleBigPlanet series is absolutely spiffing, old bean. I nominated it as my game of the show at this year's E3, and a second encounter a few months later further cemented my position that the game was looking every inch the winner. To be honest, after that, I started having some doubts about LittleBigPlanet 3 too. Perhaps even thinking it could be one of the games of the year, because after all, what could possibly go wrong with it? That's what happened with me and DriveClub a month or so ago.įollowing its launch debacle and extended technical issues, the game simply didn't live up to its potential.

Each encounter with it leaves you feeling more positive than the last, and you end up waxing lyrical about its virtues. Sometimes you see a game in the months preceding its launch, and it looks like an unstoppable juggernaut.
