@Peter Willington so you mention Tarsier Studios but you totally don't give Double Eleven any credit. As a professional reviewer I thought you would know simple information such as that.
I grabbed this the other night from the store and have played it a lot, it's great! Yep it's just like the PS3 version, but hey that's a good thing I reckon.... Anyway did anyone else get an email from SOE today apologising for messing up the download and telling you they have refunded your credit card? No idea what is going on there, my downloadable version is still running fine, no mention that I can't play because it's not in my account.
I won't be picking this up until I spot it for cheap, simply because I've now played 3 LittleBigPlanets, and they're all pretty much the same thing every single time. LBP 1 was absolutely fantastic, then LBP PSP was great, but pretty much the same time. LBP 2 was good, but once again, the very same thing. If you take a level out of any of the three, you wouldn't be able to guess which game it came from.
From what I've played of this one at press events, it is once again the same thing, albeit with gyro and touch-screen bits in for good measure. I'm afraid I'm not up for paying full price for a game I already own three times over!
"It plays just like the home versions of LittleBigPlanet, but that's ironically to its detriment."
Not sure I follow how thats a negative. If the home version is amazing, why wouldn't having that on a portable be a good thing? The initial point you make as to it being a negative is that it fails to innovate beyond the console – but does the portable version really need to innovate beyond the console? That seems a tall ask. The fact that it is the home console version on the vita is impressive in its own right.
