LittleBigPlanet Vita Review
Since the dawn of time, man has furiously searched for a convenient way to channel his creativity into something intricate by design but basic by function. Generations pass as those imaginative among us flourish with their artistically-encapsulating design and grand work ethic; breaking boundaries in imagination. Ladies, gentlemen, and otherwise, I present to you LittleBigPlanet™ Vita.
Much like the preceding games of the LittleBigPlanet franchise, LittleBigPlanet Vita relies on the motto “play, create, share” to give a satisfying experience of the game as intended by Tarsier Studios, echoed from the original Media Molecule games. Crashing forward with a brand new story mode full of luscious theatrical designs, flamboyant characters and whimsical atmospheres, this game is set to please even the hardest-headed folk even by idiosyncrasies. Really puts LittleBigPlanet 2 in its place...
The story-telling is second to none, stressed with high-key gothic oddities and professional cinematography to enhance the player’s involvement with the rich surroundings, covering the impressive music selection and usage of sounds to create an overall highly substantial feeling of the game. Basically, it’s astonishing. From level to level as the mood changes though the expertise remains constant, you easily adapt to the theme which reflects the diversity of the creation aspect of the game while you stay acquainted of, and infatuated with, the capricious storyline. The plot of the story mode is rather cliché but in a highly respectable manner. Characters are elaborated upon, and keep up appearances in the levels to guide you and rouse your familiarity of them, their motives and their origins. Still not impressed? You’re a terrible liar, but I’ll bite.
The “create” side of the game builds upon the same structure of the create mode as seen in LittleBigPlanet 2; fitted with logical components for intricate designers and a plethora of materials for the avid aesthetic associate, then amended with a mass of new features to make your levels really shine. This time around each user has thirty level slots to their name, to give you a fair chance to prove your ingenuity and ensure that people make the most of your creative talent. You can create simple platform levels, versus levels to play with friends, cut-scenes to show your appreciation and knowledge of film, and you can build up on the intricacies by creating prodigious touch-based levels, mini-games or even your musical talent with a fine equivalent of the LittleBigPlanet 2 music sequencer.
Once you’ve gotten your level spotless and fit for playing, you can publish it to the imagisphere; the centre of all of LittleBigPlanet. From there, users can find your level and have fun, give feedback, and if applicable, check out your other levels. You can check out the community section of the game in which other users publish their levels where you, too, can experience the collective efforts of other LittleBigPlanet fanatics, maybe even review their levels and show some love. Or show no love at all, you heartless scum.
This is a very ornate addition to the LittleBigPlanet series, and you’d be a fool to pass it up. You need only imagine the potential the game possesses, and then you’re set for life with a game, nay a game studio, which will keep you occupied for statistically 75% of your remaining life.
