The following story is not a commentary on the game itslef, but more about how a PR rep's terrible mishandling of a game demo can reflect negatively on a title's potential. A reporter who was exsitiingly waiting to play LittleBigPlanet gets mistreated by a PR rep.

Unfortunately, before I had even settled into my seat, a Sony rep walked up and said, "Alex, we really need you to do interviews now."

"Oh, ok. Should I shut this game down?" Alex replied.

My heart momentarily sank but my hope rose again when the Sony rep said, "No, we've got somebody else coming to demo it."

Okay, even with someone else running the demo, I figured I'd still have a good time. My eyes drew back to the screen in front of me. My fellow editor had created a sticker the size of a jumbo jet, causing the graphical prowess of the PS3 to be pushed beyond its limits. Heavy clipping occurred and many items onscreen began to disappear. Normally, this would be disheartening but in LittleBigPlanet, this sort of thing seemed like it was just par for the course. Of course, I wanted to join in on the fun and was just about to start wrecking creative havoc when the demo began its trek down the slippery road to Hell.

"Are you guys trying to break my game," a voice said from behind us. We turned and saw that the rep who was going to take over for Alex Evans had arrived. He seemed annoyed by the "damage" we had done to his game. "Now, I'll have to reset the whole PlayStation."
