This is the first game I have played on PS3. One of the reasons I bought the console.
I want to first off by saying I love the way they have done the credits. Forcing the user to view them as they learn the basic controls of the game, is a brilliant idea. It is fun and I have actually played it a few times just to see how they did everything. If I ever create a game, I want players to have fun while watching being forced to view the credits.
The controls are quite simple, even my parents have figured them out. They actually quite enjoy playing this game, my dad is a fan of fps and my mom a fan of wii games, its a perfect blend of challenges, skill, and crafty graphics. The gameplay gets more challenging as you move along, as games should. The checkpoints are wonderful but sometimes frustrating that you cannot recharge them if you go backwards. From grabbing to balancing to swinging this game really uses thoughtful ways to get you to move other then the classic jump button.
Although the story mode is short, the locations and characters are so creative, and different. Each theme of the locations is completely different and exciting. Having the ability to create your own levels and access other's levels online helps expand the story line. Each new level in the game has a different story that some how links to the rest of the world. User created levels might relate to the game world or to their own unique world.
I honestly can spend hours playing this game. Although it gets frustrating at times, there are always challenges or going back to collect stickers in past levels. You cannot only experience worlds other players have create but create your own to share with the community. To create a good world can take a long time, but if they are good then people will play them. Multi-player turns co-op in this game. Its a fun to explore each location with friends but if you had no friends... Just go online and find some new ones. I love that you need to play multi-player to get certain areas of the game, it makes it worth playing co-op with someone.
The graphics are stunning, and I love the homemade feel to them. They are adorable and twisted at the same time. Costumes, and props help express your creativity as you explore the world. I personally think the strongest element of the game is that possibility to create your own levels and share them with the community. It allows users with big imaginations create pieces of art and share them with the public. It really has endless possibilities, you honestly can edit everything in your own levels. The amount of thought and details that went into each level of the game is really outstanding. Each world has a different feel not only with graphics but music and general atmosphere. The soundtrack consists of such a wide selection to match each level's theme.
This is game is honestly one of my favourites, and will probably be one I keep returning to once I finish it. I love the ability to animate my character and dress them up. It is playful and very lighthearted. The amount of thought and creativity that went into this game is inspiring. If you haven't played it, I suggest you do.
