    não é muita coisa, porém essa nota do metacritic dos usuarios esta completamente errada, o jogo merece mais de 7, é muito criativo, os graficos não são para ser impressionantes e a história é ok, é divertido o jogo

    Nice little game. Big amount of creativity. Sequels are much better, though.

    A very fun level maker style game with a really fun adventure platformer in it. I’d say the sequels improve on the formula and there are certainly some more accessible level creators *cough cough* mario maker, but this is a fun game

    A fun game with a cute art style, let down by floaty controls and repetitive gameplay. Improved upon with the two sequels.

The Create Mode, while good for it's time, I never use because everything is better in the sequels (seriously, using Create Mode with out the "hide" feature is like missing a limb).

    As for the levels, some are good, a select few are bad, most are just okay. None of the characters and locations really stand out in a positive way. Except for The Wilderness. I love almost everything about that place, and it's the one thing I replay this game for. As for getting all prizes, I still haven't done it. Completing certain levels without dying are hard enough, especially when explosives are involved (looking at you, Boom Town), but challenges requiring multiple challenges are just cruel. There are only a few that require more than two players, but I still only own 2 controllers, and I have to rely on online play to complete them.    … Expand

At least with the Mario games, you’ve got to rescue Princess Peach. Here, you have little ventures once you’ve traveled to the area, but no larger, overall story. The whole collecting of stickers and costumes is a little nerdsome - although I do have to admit I gave my Sackboy a Snidely Whiplash mustache and Teddy Roosevelt teeth. The game is too laid back - with no central major boss, no goal in site. It's emphasis is on gameplay, not story. I found myself smiling at parts, swearing at others. The whole concept behind collecting the cutesy little stickers and being able to dress your sackboy in various attire seemed like a big waste of some ideas and time, and I really couldn't wait to complete the game, with it's oh-so happy-happy-joy-joy Sesame Street ending, and disappointing conclusion. But I guess that's what I should have expected from a game without a real beginning or explanation on what is happening.… Expand

    I was shocked to see the user score for this game. This is not the score it deserves. An infinite playground of innovation and fun with creative potential rivaled only by its sequel certainly deserves better. I'm not a fan of insulting opinion, but this is just wrong.

    As an adult gamer i do not like this game. I do not care about level creation. I pay to have that done ahead of time. I look for challenge, skill and precise control in a platform game.(howdy rayman your good stuff.) thats it champs.

    Little Big Planet was a fun little game. And when i say little, I mean it, because it was very short. It took about 3 to 4 hours to finish the game. The Co-op is great, the levels are great and the soundtrack was amazing. The biggest downfall of this game is how short the game is, but it leaves you wanting more.

    It's a really cute game, that is especially fun with a friend, but the unique design made it hard for me to play. It might just be my vision, but it was really difficult distinguishing what was in the foreground, and the background. Something about the design made depth in the game very confusing. I would recommend playing this game on a screen that is rather close to you.

    Platform games require something very important in order to be great...and that's control.

    Littlebigplanet relies on imagination to keep this game going. It is one of the unique games out there that are hard to rank. The story is most welcome showing some decent sideways platforming. The plot is very weak, but you wouldn't expect too much from this game.

    Playing online is poor, long loading times, poor connectivity and a lot of lag. However, it is very fun to play online with all the nice levels out there.

    One of the major drawbacks of this game is bad levels pop up on the cool levels all too frequent and good levels are often overlooked. The poor interface has crippled this games potential.

    This game is very fun to play, but this is a review. As a game, it lacks polish but it is a massive game.
    Play one of the unique games out there on the market.

The only niggles really I can think of was that I did feel the tiniest bit of lag between pressing the jump-button and Sackboy actually jumping, and the other characters are only really cardboard cutouts that make noises when speaking.

On the other hand, the single player story mode is thoroughly disappointing. It keeps you happy with lots of enjoyable levels from the start to middle of the story. They are challenging but just easy enough to keep you wanting to play. However, one of the final levels, The Bunker, is almost impossible. The developers have not thought about what the player is prepared to go through before giving up. It is almost impossible. Only a handful of players have got past it but many, including me, gave up on the unpassable "big wheel" obstacle. It is a poorly designed level and loses the player's interest almost immediately.

    I can see why it is appealing to some audiences, but the visual style and gameplay just wasn't for me. I got about four hours into the game and couldn't carry on. Level editing is surely entertaining, as is decorating your little sackboy, but I will personally still to other platformers.

    We're just happy to see a flagship game for a modern system that's about running from left to right and jumping over things. New ideas are great, great old ideas are better, and LittleBigPlanet has both: it's the future and the past of videogames, rolled into one.

    Little Big Planet is revolutionary thanks to its flexible, fun and powerful editor. Creating a quality level takes time but the feeling of achievement is overwhelming. A must for everyone who loves creativity or likes to explore what the creativity of a passionate community can produce.
