As a marketing tool, the trailer has become as indispensible to videogames as it is to film. The problem is that by design, the spectacle of a trailer glosses over a game’s shortcomings. Luckily, we’re here to help you cut through the treacle and decode the true meaning behind all that slick publicity. If videogame trailers told the truth, we think they’d look more like this:

    This is funnier if you're drunk. Which is why I'm giggling at the moment.

    funny, but to balance it out, do 1 with the same titles, but they are like that in a good way, like the most epic boss level ever in lbp, thousands of items (user made) in lbp, hundreds of hours of gameplay in lbp community, destructible environments by dropping a bomb on everything, new moves to master (or at least different setups of stuff to use your moves on different things and in different ways), new locations (each community level is different- except the duplicate ones but...), deep, complex characters (sackboys can express themselves in so many different ways), play online with friends (have a pic of a sackboy x4 place), new trophies to earn- ace every level in the game or collect everything or get your level hearted so many times, dlc- mgs pack, egyptian pack, all costumes + packs, god of war pack, creator kit 1 etc., basically littlebigplanet is the ultimate game (needs goty, imo). nuff said.
