As one of the few (out of the entire gaming populace) who still keep up with Little Big Planet news these days, it’s getting a bit disconcerting over how the game has grown over the past nine months. Yeah there have been a lot of interesting levels designed by the players since launch, though most of the “Oh my God how did they do this?” were seemingly all made back during the beta/launch period with a news-making level only coming up every few months.

Media Molecule’s own support of LBP post launch can be looked at two ways. On one hand they have been creating new DLC month after month, but the problem lies with what the DLC actually consists of. Most of the time all the DLC is are costume parts for your Sackboy, various stickers relating to the theme of the DLC pack, and if you’re lucky actual objects or sounds to use when creating your own personal levels. The first DLC pack consisting of Metal Gear Solid-themed bits and bobbles may have seemed a bit lacking when it was first released, but only now do I realize how much was in that one pack compared to what MM has been cranking out recently. Not only did the pack come with stickers and the like, but they even put in an actual level pack with a little story for you and your friends to play through, along with an entirely new gun object (The Paintinator) that brought totally new level ideas into play for users to kick around with.

The worst part about this though, is how MM not only seems content with continuing their trend of anemic DLC, but that they hype these DLC announcements. That’s where the news section of this article comes into play. This morning the official Playstation Blog posted a little teaser for the next DLC pack for Little Big Planet, a Ghostbusters themed one by the looks of it. Now it’s well within their rights to keep producing these DLC packs, but hyping them up like they’re a substantial piece of DLC like the MGS pack was is kind of lame at this point. But, the game is still fun after nine months personally, just wish there was more to do in the Little Big Planet World. You can only play a roller-coaster level so many times. – The Ben.
