    the game is amazing in all features: sound, graphics, gameplay,levels, history of newton, the community, and the staff: oddsock, swoop & toggle and not least creativity which takes us to experiences not live in the real life.but i dont like was the required space: 10.5 gb on ps3 ,obviously problem for the ps3 12gb.
    but i can assure that it was worth

    Any fan of the previous 2 LBP games will surely like this one just as much. But there's 2 problems, one of them game breaking. There's a reason why sites like IGN gave it a low score. But first, fear not because it has the same feel and tone as the older ones and the game looks better than ever. Also, if you're a new member to Team Sony, PS4 owners, fear not as there are basic tutorialsAny fan of the previous 2 LBP games will surely like this one just as much. But there's 2 problems, one of them game breaking. There's a reason why sites like IGN gave it a low score. But first, fear not because it has the same feel and tone as the older ones and the game looks better than ever. Also, if you're a new member to Team Sony, PS4 owners, fear not as there are basic tutorials to make you familiar with the basics. Which are, honestly, simple enough already and it's story is more or less it's own.
    Now as far as the PS3 version, which I bought a physical copy of, as of this reviews post, January 23, 2015, I can tell you that the game is still full of game breaking glitches and bugs throughout and yes, I have downloaded all the patch fixes up to this date. We've had to reset the game many times due to getting stuck in level and the suicide option (hold "X" to retry) only puts you in the same stuck place. And then there's the game not unlocking the next planet and having to watch the cut scenes again until you trick the game into thinking what it suppose to think and unlock the next level. All these problems will hopefully be addressed soon but one problem that wasn't an issue with the other games in the series are amazingly long loading screens. Even if you are just replaying a level that you're already playing the blindingly bright white loading screen shows up for what feels like a couple minutes breaking the immersion we had playing the game. It's frustrating. And I'm the guy that would defend Modnation Racers loading screens!
    If you have a PS4, assume the loading screens will be more tolerable but on the PS3 they can get annoying. Now as far as the amazing amount of bug and glitches, they should really be embarrassed that they released such an untested game, skipping the game testing process in hopes that they'll find and fix the game eventually if any bugs were found. Some review scores reflect this and they'll never get those numbers back. Critics don't change their given score after their initial review. Which is a shame because I have faith that this game will be fully playable for everyone....eventually. It's a shame that it's taking so long. These issues aside, you can get LBP 3 now on sale for $20 less than retail now and at that price, I fully recommend it, especially if you have someone to play with. That's why I love these games. Accessible to both casual and hardcore gamers. My score of 8 reflects a game with glitches with the promise of them being fixed. Otherwise, this game may have gotten a 9.    … Expand

    LBP3 is not quite the beautiful brand new child that LBP1 was, nor the genius teenager of LBP2. This one has grown into something more more like a college sophomore at a good university. In the course of its hugely ambitious undertaking a lot of mistakes got made, but they are getting taken care of, and overall LBP3 has still lifted LittleBigPlanet to an even higher level of fun.    … Expand

    It froze my PS3 once and has it's occasional frame rate drops. Yes, it is not finished and could need a few more fixes and tweaks, still I had a great time nontheless, especially playing with my girlfriend and her sister, so absolutely reccommended to all platformer lovers and to their fiancees :) But beware, in my opinion way harder than 1 or 2!

    Near Endless possibilities
    Newton wants to become the most creative person in the imagishpere and its up to you to stop him, so you set out to awaken the legendary sack heroes…
    This is my 2nd favorite littlebigplanet campaign behind the original..
    And of course you can play with friends or alone
    The campaign clocks in at around 5 and half hours and not only offers a decent challenge... but a great variety in level design that’s fun to play through and sparks the imagination for those interested in designing levels for the community…
    Each world acts as a hub world with 2-3 main missions and a few side missions
    In the main missions you’re going through unique and charming levels to collect a marble..
    These levels all feel different and each world introduces a new gadget to use...
    which give even more possibility to level design…
    You do occasionally have to reuse these items in later levels of the game... but I really appreciate the fact that they didn’t shove them all down your throat to use at once...
    There’s no constant switching items which I find insanely annoying when games do that…
    You’ll primarily be using 1 gadget and 1 gadget only in each level..
    These levels also of course contain prize bubbles which adds variety to the creation tool giving creators incentive to play through the campaign other than to get ideas for all of the cool new hazards…
    Sadly I feel the customization items for your characters are a bit lacking.. Tons of costumes... but very few accessories and other items to make you feel truly unique...
    However if you have played through little big planet 1 or 2, you get to import your unlockable from them
    once you’ve gathered both marbles or all 3 you unlock one of the 3 legendary heroes…
    There’s Oddscock, Toggle, and Swoop… all of which are even more fun to use than sackboy…
    Oddscok is a dog like creature that can run up walls and wall jump…
    Toggle is the brute that can toggle between large to weigh platforms down or break items and to a smaller version to get launched into the air, walk on water and fit into small cracks... a character who I believe had the most promise in terms of level design… and swoop is a bird that can fly and swoop…
    Sadly each of these characters only have 1 dedicated level each..
    They’re so fun to play as that I actually wouldn’t have mind if sackboy got a bit of a break and most of the levels belonged to them…
    But not completely focus on the new 3 because sackboy is still the star...
    Each world also ends in a boss battle… and the final 2 levels are dedicated to all 4 characters which are easily the more stressful parts in the game…
    especially considering the checkpoint limits where when you die too many times in one spot you’re punished by having to restart the entire level..
    I’ve never been a fan of this concept and I’m still not…
    and it definitely sucks when you have to go through these lengthy sections as each of the characters...
    mess up with one and you have to do the others you succeeded in all over again…
    And the checkpoints here are a little too generous at times in spots they don’t need to be while smacking you with very hard stretches that have no checkpoint in sight…
    Making levels feel a little unbalanced at times...
    The 2nd chunk of the game comes down to if you like playing levels or if you want to get your hands dirty and design them…
    There’s an online mode that lets you play countless levels designed by the community and for those looking to design those levels..
    Your only limitations are your imagination and your hard drive...
    and of course the 16 layers max for your levels constraint... but you can go wild with everything else as you’re able to link levels and create adventure maps
    You can design with any of the characters in mind that again play and feel completely different… it really is a great playground for the creative type.
    And littlbigplanet 3 also does a great job at teaching mechanics by delivering tools and their functions in a puzzle mode...
    so while you’re getting through these puzzle levels with the tools you’re also learning how to use them in creative mode without realizing it…
    Littlebigplanet 3 is a huge improvement that offers a great deal of possibility in level design and gameplay... The campaign feels standalone again and the community creations here are the most impressive yet... so if a 5 and a half hour campaign isn’t long enough to you, head online and enjoy the community levels...
    There’s something here for everyone and is a staple that should be in everyone PlayStation 4 collection…
    I give LittleBigPlanet 3
    an 8/10    … Expand

    It's just amazing, it's a game full of quality and creativity, a magical world where you can explore, sackboy is friend to help you complete levels and reach areas thanks to its abilities can play, being the only game that invites you to be creative it is highly recommended for all ages, there are over 10 million online levels to keep you going when the story mode is completed, it is fascinating.

    I was really let down by this game, I loved the first two but this one just sucks. I can't even play anymore, the game is so buggy it is unplayable.

    This is probably the best LBP game so far. You have way more options to create levels and actually has a pretty good, albeit weird story. This would have a 9/10 and it's very close to that, but unfortunately the technical issues bring it down a bit. They aren't as bad on PS3 as they are on PS4, but it's flawed. But overall, a good game.

    LittleBigPlanet 3 shows a lot of potential, and it's executed quite well. The levels are more creative than its predecessor, the music is masterful, and the Create Mode has more depth. Unfortunately for LBP 3, it has lame bosses, many bugs and long load times. It makes the game disappointing, but still good.

    Definitely something weird going on with this game when you compare with the last two, but the game is still really well made, and the story mode, while short, is probably the most enjoyable of the series.

Ademas de que en el modo creativo algo que en lo personal no me gusto es no poder cambiar el numero de capas, estando limitado siempre a las capas multiples en vez de las 3 que tenias en los juegos anteriores. Esto por desgracia rompe por completo los niveles de la comunidad hechos en el primer y segundo juego. Aun asi algunas de sus ideas no estuvieron para nada mal, y en general me gusto, pero no es un juego excelente como los anteriores.
    Y esto que voy a decir es exclusivo de la version de PS3: Si bien suelo dar notas mas bajas a las versiones identicas para consolas mas nuevas por obvias razones, en el caso de la version de PS3 de LBP3 tendre que hacer una excepcion, y darle un 6 en vez de un 7 como a la version de PS4. Al menos en PS3 Super Slim el juego va muy lageado y puede llegar a dar un monton de crashes y glitches, incluso mas que en la version de PS4! Hay veces que llega a ser injugable! Ademas de que si bien puedes transferir el contenido de los anteriores juegos de la saga, lo que no puedes transferir es el contenido que te viene si compraste la edicion especial por alguna razon (y si, le di a importar y todo eso). Tengo trajes guardados que me sale un error al equiparlos porque tienen contenido exclusivo del LBP2 edicion especial, y el contenido lo tengo que pagar? Si tecnicamente ya lo tenia en LBP2..... Recomiendo jugarlo mas que nada en PS4 este juego...    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a decent game, it's not anything mind blowing nor is it anything that makes you regret playing it.

    Story: You play as Sackboy, our protagonist from the other games. In the introduction level, a lightbulb called Newton kidnaps Sackboy and takes him to his home planet called Bunkum. Newton explains to Sackboy that his mom, Nana Pud wants to open a teabox that contains entities called the "Titans", they brought chaos upon Bunkum long before the Negativitron from Littlebigplanet 2 began his reign of terror, soon after 3 heroes came and defeated the Titans, they were Oddsock, Toggle, and Swoop. Newton informs Sackboy that he has to stop Nana Pud from releasng the Titans, soon after once Sackboy infiltrates Nana's home, Nana Pud tells Sackboy that Newton lied to him and that he wanted the Titans. Once he opens the teabox, the Titans posses him and he begins to steal all the creativity from the world. Sackboy is tasked by Nana Pud to stop Newton and release the heroes that once saved Bunkum. Eventually Sackboy and his friends do successfully do so and defeats all the Titans. He gets sent back to Craftworld along with Toggle, Oddsock and Swoop.

    The story is decent to me, I don't like how they just sent Sackboy to another world for the sake of sending him to another world. The characters are okay.

    Gameplay: You traverse many worlds in Littlebigplanet 3. The gameplay in each of them I find interesting, Sackboy and Oddsock being the best. Sackboy has to explore levels and complete them. Oddsock is fast paced and focuses on traversing as fast as you can. The gameplay is enjoyable.

    The PS3 version of Littlebigplanet 3 is also practically almost the same as the PS4 version. But there are some noticeable differences and some exclusive things to the PS4.

    Graphics: The PS4's graphics are obviously better than the PS3's, this both has its pros and cons. For PS4 players, they can play the game at a stunning 1080p 60 fps, providing a beautiful experience in levels. The problem here is when it comes to PS4 players creating levels, all levels can be played on a PS3 or PS4 console, but this comes with issues. PS4 players have more access to better graphics and can make their level look amazing, but this inconveniences PS3 players due to how this causes low frame rate at times. Though, this doesn't happen with all levels. The PS4 is superior in terms of graphics.

    Exclusive Features:

    Trailers: For levels, PS4 players can create a trailer for their level, these are most commonly used for movies or adventure maps, PS3 players aren't missing out on trailers, since they don't affect too much of the game.

    Lesser severe glitches: The PS3 version of Littlebigplanet 3 seemingly has fewer and less severe glitches than the PS4. This does not mean it is bug-free however, I've experienced a glitch where all my story levels reset and got locked, my prizes were still there, however I had to beat every level again. It's unlikely you'd get a profile corruption on this version. The bugs and glitches are less severe on the PS3 than the PS4.

    Due to the server shut down of Littlebigplanet 3 PS3 Edition, then this unfortunately drops this rating to a 6/10. After you complete the story there is almost nothing to do in the game, Littlebigplanet has always thrived off of community levels, and it is sad to see a major player finally leave.    … Expand

    A definite step down from the first two games in the series. Framerates really struggle on the PS3 and quite a few bugs and glitches make this game a bit frustrating to get through.
