Looks like 3D platformers are making a comeback, which is great news!

Looks like this game is geared towards younger audiences, but that's not a problem. The graphics are what gives it away, but I think it looks pretty great considering you mentioned the 3D aspect. Glad to see Sony making games like these, shows they have a lot of variety in their games.

It looks interesting, but I'd have to give a demo a try before I could form a definitive opinion. It looks a lot like an all-3D LittleBigPlanet mixed with games like Ratchet & Clank, which is a good thing if it doesn't feel like a rip-off. But I agree that it seems to be aimed at a younger audience, which is fine in and of itself, but games like that may lose their appeal after a while if there isn't something holding everyone's interest.

Looks like another decent platformer for the PlayStation. I'm not that impressed with the way it looks though. It seems like it did not make a leap from the PS3. I do hope that the gameplay would be great and I hope that it would appeal to adults as it would appeal to the younger audience.

I think it looks okay but perhaps a bit too childish for me. I could be wrong though, I mean Little Big Planet seems that way but that is a fun game for all ages to play. The graphics look to be really top notch though I must say.

A new IP for Sony to show PS4's PARTICLE EFFECTS.
Seems really nice, and we really need a new platformer, seeing how Sony forgot about all the platformers from the PS1 era.

Either it's me or this game reminds me of Wonderful 101 for the Wii U.

Either it's me or this game reminds me of Wonderful 101 for the Wii U.

I've never played either game, but I've read a lot of comments stating the same thing.

Anyway, I know most of us don't pay attention to reviews too much, but the results came in today, and seeing as this is one of the first titles of a new generation, I thought it would be interesting to see the ratings. Here they are:

IGN 5.9 /10
Joystiq 1.5/5
Eurogamer 4/10
Destructoid 7/10
Polygon 6/10

I don't think those scores are too bad, apart from Joystiq's. I just hope this doesn't discourage developers from experimenting.

Man that looks like a really fun game! Its about time we got a decent entry from something other than the same established players.
