Just a wee PS3 rant!

Post by scotteffone on Fri Oct 23, 2009 5:17 pm

I borrowed Little Big Planet off a mate as I have always wanted to try it but have not been able to get a hold of it.

The first hour was spent downloading mandatory updates. I walk in the door all stoked ready to pop in the game and get into it - as that's what games consoles should be all about - and I have a longer load than a PC... Thats pretty average.

Surely if you don't connect it to the internet it won't know that it has to download updats before hand, and will aloow you to get straight into playing it...

Hmm good thinking... But it's wireless and would be a hassle turning it off and on. Plus the point of the game is to be online and play other player's levels.

As for what it is... I'm still working it out. It's ok, you can play through a story (there is a story at a push) or build and play levels built by other people. Im still trying to figure out how to design levels. It's all side scrolling.
