Update: IGN's gone live with its review here. It's 9.5/10. The video review's after the break. Thanks, Johnny Cullen!

According to Eurogamer, LittleBigPlanet is worthy of a 9/10 review score. Spanish site MeriStation's also gone live with a review, giving it 9.5/10.

From Eurogamer:

The promise that anyone could create something simple and fun and personal with LittleBigPlanet hasn't come true. In a way, it's the opposite of Spore, which makes it easy and fun for every single player to have creative input, but doesn't let any of them change the fabric of the game. LittleBigPlanet lets them run wild, with unprecedented results, but it locks the majority out of the creative process, because it's time-consuming and simply not very enjoyable.

We hoped it could do both those things. That it doesn't isn't the let-down it might have been, thanks to the untamed community of brilliant nutjobs that's already out there, appending their DIY masterpieces to this beautiful, mildly flawed, magnificently multiplayer platform game. We salute them, we salute Media Molecule for making it possible for them, and we salute Sony for its total commitment to this brave, hare-brained project.

The British Official PlayStation Mag's already given it 10/10.

And that's that.
