    The single player campaign in LBP2 is much improved over the past iteration's attempt. Offering new power ups and a solid narrative added on. The real meat of the game consists of the user created levels, which is also a vast improvement over the original LBP.

    I think I may have played this game more than any other. Its incredibly addicting, has a gargantuan amount of content, and, thanks to the internet, it has content for every age group. It actually makes you feel like a game designer.

    First LittleBigPlanet was funny, the second has more possibilities making it even better. Probably not so good in one player but it is perfect game for playing with somebody you know. What a pity the story is mishmash.

    I'm not interested in the storyline of the LBP franchise (although it can be fun) but that the level creator has the tools for you to make just about anything you want with the ability to publish and create alongside 4 friends. It has a vast range of technology for you to get your head around giving you the opportunity to create what you desire and how you want it to function.

It has a vast range of technology for you to get your head around giving you the opportunity to create what you desire and how you want it to function. If you do not feel you want to create there is always the huge range of community made levels. I do not know how many there are now, from what I know there was 3,000,000 just from the original LittleBig planet (not all of which are all good. Many have no effort or are just copies). These levels range from others creations, great storylines, survivals, top down view, racing, attempts at a 1st/3rd person perspective, short films and sometimes even a full well made movie. If you feel creative, this will definitely be the game for you. Expand

    While this game does have it's frustrating parts that made me replay it over and over again, most of the game is not a full on side scrolling shooter, but a puzzle combat based game. When I beat the last guy, I cheered through the roof knowing I defeated a frustrating round with two checkpoints.

    This seriously enhances the level editor from the first game with improvements on already existing tools, and many new ones added in. You can create whole games rather than just whole levels. Unfortunately, playing online with more than one player gets very laggy and a lot of the online tracking doesn't work.
    Still, if you enjoyed the first, you'll enjoy this.

    Little Big Planet 2 is almost as great as the first but not as challenging so i give it an 8 but it's still really fun and lots of customization, now there's actual voice actors besides the narrator so it's a bit more funny, and really worth buying if you loved the previous one. You don't need to play the first to play this one but their both great games.

    The original Littlebigplanet had captured my heart and endless amounts of hours in its cutesy and creative world, with brilliantly created story levels, and a powerful, yet accessible create mode. Media Molecule’s sequel does all of this, yet expands upon what made it great, and mostly fixed its flaws, making it, in my opinion, the best game of 2011.

    The premise of the story is simple.
    The original Littlebigplanet had captured my heart and endless amounts of hours in its cutesy and creative world, with brilliantly created story levels, and a powerful, yet accessible create mode. Media Molecule’s sequel does all of this, yet expands upon what made it great, and mostly fixed its flaws, making it, in my opinion, the best game of 2011.

    The premise of the story is simple. A big vacuum named the Negativatron is vacuuming anything in its path on a quest for total destruction, and its up to you, and an alliance of quirky characters to defeat him. The level design is just as brilliant as the first game, if not more, due to a larger toolbox for Media Molecule. While the story itself isn’t as strong as games like Bioshock, and The Last of Us, that’s not the purpose of this game. However, that doesn’t mean the story mode wouldn’t be solid on its own. Far from it.

    The biggest aspect in Littlebigplanet 2, however, is the much bigger create mode. With the addition of logic, and many, many more tools you can use to create whatever masterpiece you can think of. Thanks to this, you are able to create games that breaks the limits of the fact that LBP is a 2D puzzle-platformer. This is brilliant beyond practically any creation game at the time, which truly felt groundbreaking, similar to the feeling I had with the first games creation system. Sharing your masterpieces are easier than ever, and experiencing them are no different. Although the load times are seemingly longer than the first game, the payoff exceeds the price. Once you take a dive into some of the best levels LBP has to offer, you would often forget that you’re playing LBP, and you begin to believe that you are playing a different game. This feeling of creative power is rare among creation games, making this experience one that shouldn’t be missed.

    The multiplayer also works very well. Looking to play with friends? Simply invite them to your pod and play away! Looking for some friends? Fear not! Simply use the “Dive In” feature to find some random people to be grouped with. Who knows? You might make some really close friends. You are able to both play, and create levels with other people. This means that if you combine the creative power of 2-4 sack people, you can create something that is truly brilliant, and loved by the community.

    All in all, Littlebigplanet 2 builds so much on what was already made with the first game. Its fleshed out story mode, and expanded create mode, makes this game among my favorites of all time. All of these features makes this game an instant must-play.

I also think that the graphics are really nice for a 2011 game. I had a lot of spare time so I made a load of custom levels as well. I think they shouldn't have made 3 how they did.
