It's a new IP with no previous following of fans to push it beyond reality in review scores.
I played with the beta for 5 days and was hooked. I didn't want to let it go. The delay was truly painful to accept.
Sounds silly being just a game, but every member of my family from kids to wife felt the same way.
Do they mean it has great crashes? I guess Burnout celebrates failure too :-)
They just want you to go out and buy their rag of a mag, but what they're really telling you is to cancel your subscription for stunts like this.
Looks like it to me anyway.
Or so it says in the hidden section after you get 100%
Wonder what that's about? :-)
Nursing homes, rec centers and everyone else who bought a Wii just for the Bowling.
I have no clue what the hardcore buys for the wii. I still have a gamecube that works just fine. Zelda, Metroid and Mario without the waggle.
and that's it. $200+ for one game.
If you get sheer joy from creating, the game is a 10.
I suspect those who don't enjoy creating will give it a 9.
Me, I'm suffering from LBP withdrawal after using the beta for a week and losing it. It's a massive time killer. Four hours go by in a flash.
Even if you're not into platforming, the physics will keep you entertained. Rocket engines, elastic and string = great fun IMO.
I myself would like the next version of the game to have 6 planes instead of just the 3.
There are ideas that just can't be done because there isn't enough depth to the game space.
I don't know about the final game, but in the beta there was no way to build a custom sphere let alone a hollow plastic ball. I wanted to construct a hamster ball level and it couldn't be done with that version of the tool set.
Does the suit get upgraded as the game progresses?
Too bad all the user content created with the beta code has to be chucked. It's supposedly not compatible with the final gold code.
It disappeared quick.

No need to read the rest.
It was a reworking of "gene splicing". Splicers were (future) people addicted to genetic alterations in much the way plastic surgery junkies are today.
I think they "spliced" human and animal DNA.
Wait and see...

Sweeney says that it will all be written in C++. Isn't the Cell accessed with C++?
How does that become a third programming language?
When we picked up our copy, the guy in line ahead of us held his copy up and said "Now I've got to buy a PS3".
