    For any real gamer, the notion of progress is a double edged sword when it comes to justifying our belief in or appreciation of games as a medium.

We raise one hand protesting the need for change, while crossing our fingers on the other, in hope that those things we loved before are still present. This tension is no more telling than when a sequel is developed. Especially when then its the sequel to one of the most imporant games in or any generation. From its humble beginnings, it is clear that LittleBigPlanet 2 feels like a more polished article, like a band making the second album, with more money, resources and technical capabilities at their disposal. In the same respect though, some of the charm has been lost. Sackboy seems less an archetype for personalisation in character identification and more of an objective entity. The cut and paste levels of the first games, with their brilliant imperfections have been replaced with a more contextual narrative. With cut scenes, technical feats, musical direction and item trickery offering a more holistic experience. Despite this, some charm has been lost, as the cracks that allowed you to see the majesty of the first games parts have been glazed over. The pre-designed levels still serve as a inticing anicdote of the new horizons that LBP2 could offer. The variety of new items, stage devices, AI charcters and visons into the realm of future possibilities replaces charm with a self recognition that this is only the first chapter in the story. Media Molecules faith in its userbase is unparalled. For they know it is up to us to keep constantly re-writing its narrative. Which is where, as we all know, the point at which LBP2 we live or die. It is an extension of an idea that is suprisingly profound, that gaming can in fact be an organic process, being shaped and reshaped over time. The most important element therefore, is the tools that are given at our disposal. It is here, that LBP2 transcends its predecessor in everyway. The most imporant element of all, being that of combination. Whereas in LBP there were a limited number of items at your fingertips, the wealth of riches at your disposal raises the challenge of creation, and the wonder of discovery ever more. It seems unncessary to list them, but special must be given to the creatinator. A device that allows you to create any functioning mechanical device you so wish. Within a short time there has been a wealth of 2d retro replicas, nods of nostalgic reminisence and attempts at genres that it didn't seem possible to produce (i.e. type in Zelda and see for yourself). More than anything though, the realm of possibiity has evolved anew. Seemingly raising the bar in terms of faith in the gaming community and what is possible. Who knows what the future will hold. Im just glad Im part of the story.… Expand

    One or two issues however, why did england get the game last as Media Molecule are an english company??

    and for those of you who play online and get a loading screen, press you guide button on and off or go to send someone a message and cancel it and it should be fine.

" This is way too adorable for someone like me to be playing." I couldn't have been more wrong. This is a very dedicated platformer that ranks up there with the best of them. It is all very whimsical and as I play I find it very hard not to smile, and few games garner that reaction out of me. The actual game itself is quite good, very competent and entertaining, but the best part of LBP2 is the community and creation tools. In the community section you can play thousands of user-created levels, some are terrible, others are amazing. The community is a very friendly one and are very supportive of each other, which is hard to find in today's world of Halo and Call of Duty. Then there are the creation tools, where you can make just about anything you want, from movies and music/videos to your own LBP2 levels, some have even created replicas of other classic and current games that are staggeringly accurate. When you start making your own stuff you might be overwhelmed, but the more you play around with the tools and get the hang of it, you can create some pretty amazing stuff with relative ease. I was wrong about this game. Little Big Planet 2 isn't just for kids, it is for any platforming fan and is a great break in between killing anything that moves in other games.… Expand

    Though there isn't a huge amount of additions, from the first one, I find Little Big Planet 2 to be leagues ahead of it's predesessor. Maybe it's the addition of top down view and custom music and such, seems to allow the community to make much more interesting and entertaining levels.

    This is an absolute gem of a game and something every gamer should own. You don't need me to tell you what it's like because if you don't own it now, you probably never will. What you do need is me to tell you that you're wrong to not revere this game and allow it to extract every drop of creativity from your surprisingly inventive mind.

When the game was released on January 18, 2011, there were over 2 million levels already created by the community. By now it has probably doubled to 4 million at least.

    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.    … Expand

    (10/10) - The best of the three LittleBigPlanet games, mostly due to a super entertaining story and a great online experience.

    You can try to play this game without a silly little grin on your face and a giggle here or there... but i doubt you will succeed. It has to be one of the most amusing games on the market and without a doubt, is a crowed pleaser for any age!

    This is what you expect from a sequel to one of the most creative and alluring platformers of all-time. Gameplay has improved slightly with the addition of new items to use, and the graphics are a bit sharper. Where it really excels, though, is in its array of new editor tools. There are more creative levels to play than the first LittleBigPlanet, and by a large margin.

    The game is a fantastic platformer with unlimited possibilities and a ton of replayability due to the in-depth level designer that lets you create games of almost any genre. LittleBigPlanet 2 is a sure-fire Game of the Year contender.

    Rarely in gaming am I overtaken by the complete fun of what I'm doing that I burst into laughter regularly. The changes are great without overdoing anything. My girlfriend and I were up into the wee hours of the morning playing.

    I just got my ps3 about 2 months ago. It came with little big planet (1) game of the year addition. Well my roommate talked it up and honestly I hated it for the first month. I think my problem was that I've never played a game like this. Its sort of like mario but Mario is all about dodging enemies and this is all about puzzles and level design. Plus don't even attempt to play it solo,I just got my ps3 about 2 months ago. It came with little big planet (1) game of the year addition. Well my roommate talked it up and honestly I hated it for the first month. I think my problem was that I've never played a game like this. Its sort of like mario but Mario is all about dodging enemies and this is all about puzzles and level design. Plus don't even attempt to play it solo, you need at least 3 players.

    Anyways, I beat little big planet 1 and based on the critic reviews wasn't expect much more from LPB2. They have added a lot more to the game besides just making creating levels easier. The story is much more in depth, the cut scenes actually add a lot to the game. I don't really like the grappling hook but it can be fun and you wonder how they even made levels before without the new bounce pads. You can customize your planet now, importing your old character worked perfect, new tower defense levels are pretty cool.

    I have the move but haven't seen where the move levels are yet. I'll update later on that i guess.

    The reason i give it a 9 is because #2 is backwards compatible with #1 and they really haven't fixed any of the problems that existed in LPB1. When you playing multiplayer and doing a race I hate how you just die if you get left behind. Also jumping forward and backward can still be frustrating. If you didn't like the first LPB you probably won't like this one either.

    All in all great game, if you liked the first its well worth it.    … Expand

    Everyone please ignore the user review where this game got a 5. If you actually read it you'll find out that this ignorant Metacritic member gave it a five without playing the game. All of it was mere speculation. And I raged when I read it.

    Anyways, onto my review of LittleBigPlanet 2. I love this game. Thinking about all the things I could create makes me pumped everytime I enter create mode. Not only that, the story levels are jaw dropping as the levels made by the developer Media Molecule are made with the same engine that we use to create. They have such fun and diverse mechanics that each level is a joy to play over and over again. Along with the awesome story levels is the awesome Share aspect of the game. They revamped their publishing and sharing system making it easier to play high quality levels and at the same time making incentives to try out other not as popular levels. This is done using the MM pick section for awesome ones and the Lucky Dip option to try out new, not as popular levels (that may very well be diamonds in the rough.)
    What kind of gamer are you? Single player only? This game will last a long time with the challenge of acing levels and collecting all the items. If you like co-op, playing with complete strangers and working together to solve puzzles is an awesome time. This game has the whole gamer spectrum mapped out, making it fun for whatever style you prefer.

    If you are on the fence about this game, considering that $60 to invest on most budgets, think about how long this game will last. I bought the first game with no intention of using the Create mode, thinking that I would be horrible at it and it wouldn't be enjoyable. I was completely wrong! The tutorials in game help the most non LBP savvy guy out there. When they're done, your interest will be piqued and you will want to try making simple levels that will gradually expand to better, more high quality levels. Not only will this last a surprisingly long time, but if you ever need a break from it you can always try out other people's levels (of which there are over 2 million). Overall, this is an awesome game and I would recommend it to anyone.    … Expand

    I wonder why Metacritic hasn't updated G4TV's review. It seems they only update the negative reviews but leave out the one's that are 5/5. I hope metacritic updates G4TV's review soon

    If you build it, they will come. The only limiting factor in creating new games here is your own mind. Dive into the chaotic beauty of LittleBigPlanet 2.

    Lush, beautifully rendered graphics with amazing particle physics. You'll not see a demonic custard tart explode more realistically... LBP2 is already a contender for game of the year. [March 2011, p74]
