 Great Fun, Ignore Bad Reviews, By
This review is from: LittleBigPlanet Karting – Playstation 3 (Video Game)
First off, I’ve been playing kart racers for years (since the N64 days). Nothing will top Mariokart because it was (and still is) the cornerstone of this kind of game. That said, if you go into LBPK with an open mind and not expect some sort of revolutionary experience, you will have a ton of fun. The charm of Little Big Planet is all here with the cute visuals, the bubble popping, the unlockables and the character customization. Everything is nearly identical to the LBP games, all the way down to the home hub, the planets etc. Racing is quick and the controls are responsive. The game is built on an altered version of the Modnation Racers engine which was already very solid. Story mode is very long and yes, there are some challenging (OH MY!) parts but it has great lasting appeal. The in game track customizer/builder is amazing but they definitely could have done a better job at teaching you the in’s and out’s of using it. A little trial and error and you’ll eventually be creating some killer tracks (just like in LBP).
The reviews I’ve read of the game seem to be harping negatively on factors that I don’t quite understand. IGN complains about the menus/interface not being as easy to use as ModNation Racers. Seeing as the game runs and is created exactly the same way as all the other LBP games, I’m not sure how this could be a complaint. You have your hub, you click on the planets and you race. Not that difficult. They also complain that the game focuses too much on defense, again, not sure how this is such a big deal when the majority of your time in Mariokart, you are trying to avoid being hit with shells etc. For me, a guy who has a small child, I can tell you, for a family game, this is excellent. He can play along and it’s not so complicated that he gets frustrated. My wife plays, my family enjoys the music and the racing and I really like all the customization. It’s a game that will continually grow with official tracks and user created content. What more can you ask for? If you’re looking for fun kart game, this is a no brainer. Don’t listen to the negatives who are looking at this as something other than what it was intended to be, a Little Big Planet racer. It’s great.  Very fun game for the kids and family to play, By

My kids still love this game and my oldest son had to have it for his 11th birthday that was passed this week. It’s a really fun race game that reminds me of Mario Kart or Modnation which are also games that my kids like to play. The Little Big Planet games are just fun for the whole family. My kids been playing the game every chance they could since I bought it. It’s pretty fun and I would recommend it to anyone that doesn’t have it yet and I plan on getting Little Big Planet 3 this Christmas since it looks really interactive and creative with the gameplay.
 Three Stars,
