All-Time Highest Rated Games Tagged 'build' on The Great Games Experiment http://www.greatgamesexperiment.com/css/logo.jpg en-us The LittleBigPlanet experience starts with players learning about their character's powers to interact physically with the environment. There are obstacles to explore, bits and pieces to collect and puzzles to solve -- requiring a combination of brains and collaborative teamwork. As players begin to explore, their creative skills will grow and they will be ready to start creating and modifying their surroundings -- the first step to sharing them with the whole community.

Characters have the power to move anything in this glued and stitched-together landscape; they have the power to design, shape and build both objects and entire locations for others to play.

There's no complicated level editor; all of these skills can be learnt by simply playing the game. Creativity is part of the gameplay experience and playing is part of the creative experience. Players can make their world as open or as secretive to explore as they like.

When it's ready, they can invite anyone within the LittleBigWorld community to come and explore their patch -- or can go and explore everybody else's.

A dark voice speaks to you: "A land of innocence, has no need for Gods... until fate intervenes." The boy suddenly runs to the water. His parents start shouting that he should stay away from the water, but the boy is already swimming in the sea and sharks are going to eat him! Then the two desperate parents take action: they start praying to the gods. A dark voice suddenly takes over and the view zooms out, the whole island is now visible. The dark voice says: "When people pray a God is always born. Able to change eternity, that God is you. Are you a blessing, or a curse? Good, or evil? Be what you will, you are destiny."

Then this wonderful innovative game starts. You are a god and can do almost everything that a god can do. You can build up cities, kill hundreds and thousands of people, perform miracles and destroy the other gods. The ultimate goal is to be the only god and defeat your rival Nemesis. An important element in this game is that you can be an evil or good god.

The innovative aspect of the game is the great amount of freedom that you have and the fact that you can't die, after all you are a god!

Black & White was released in 2001 and developed by Lionhead Studios.
