    I had the privilege of previewing this game a few days ago, and all I can say is that is like NOTHING you have ever played before. The integration of game development into user gameplay is genius and will keep you playing for a very long time. Great great value. Uniqueness at it's best.

    In the land of FPS/3PS and MMO's its about time a good platformer came out. All in all it's an amazing game, kept me hooked until the end of the boxed levels.

I loved this game (beta) in a lot of different ways, but disliked it in a lot too. The single-player levels were decent, a little boring and lacked any real heart, but decent nonetheless. The level editor was really cool. Some of the features seemed really odd, like limiting how much stuff you can put on an object, and not being able to change the color of the material w/o a sticker (seriously, what the crap?) but the creator overall was a blast. The only reason I give it a lower score is because the tools for a great game do necessarily make a great game. That's like saying a pile of lumber is awesome because it could be a huge mansion, or that a blank canvas and a bucket of paint is brilliant because it has the ability to be turned into a masterpiece. No, what the players do with those tools is great, not the tools themselves. I praise Media Molecule for offering such a rich tapestry of creation tools, but those alone do not make the game for me. Can't wait to play the final copy, though. … Expand

    This is a fantastic game. Do not look at the user rating, it does not reflect the simplicity in design but the power in which it gives the users in this game. Its fun and accessible. Simple to learn, hard to master.

    Anyone who gives this game a score of 7 or less simply hasnt either played it or is too thick skinned to appreciate it, LittleBigPlanet is a true gem among the games of this generation, I continue to be astounded at how innovative and powerful the CREATE mode is. Along with MGS4 and Uncharted 1/2 its right up there with the best PS3 exclusives.

    Yes its good, but the campaign gets boring if you are not playing with a friend. The levels on the community search will never get old though, because there is such a variety. The Level creator is the highlight of the game, creating you own vehicles, enemys and obstacles is really rewarding. But this still shouldn't have beaten Killzone.

    It's a very very fun game for 6 hours. By then you've finished the single player and you got bored of the multiplayer. Maybe its because I don't know anyone else who plays on playstation network. IDK, but if you like making levels go for it. Hopefully you won't get bored like me.

    A great PS3 exclusive even almost 3 years after its release. There is no real story here because the game really only relies on gameplay: platforming. For a platformer, this game is a hit because of the level designs. The mission creator is also sweet because of its potential and how innovative it is. LBP is a great game to check out and must I say that the Sackboy characters are kind of cute!

    My personal game experience with it leaves me bored. Why do I give it such a high score? Because my wife and two daughters, age 5 and 4, are enthralled with it. They have had many hours of fun playing together (plays up to four players!). Dressing them up is a big charm for them. It's definitely a chick-game, but I've seen the results of how much it is enjoyed.

    Charming and endearing little sack boys, they're so cute. The platforming is not the best or clever but it's far from entertaining , getting the responsibility to find the stickers add more content to the already lot of fun. Customizing your Sackboy is addictive, and pulls you to combine with all the clothes. Neat

    It's amazing how this game includes physics in it's simple gameplay. Even though LBP may seem childish at first, it does challenge the player quite heavily, especially towards the end. With the option to play with 3 others, totally 4 players, this can include everyone in the room. The game mechanics are simple: grab, run, and jump. There are many moments when you have to time the combination of the three, and it's truly fantastic. Level designs are top notch and can have players smiling after solving a complex puzzle. There is a great amount of satisfaction to be had while running in and out of each level, yet there is more to be had with LBP numerous features, such as a level editor and a giant community of literally hundreds of thousands of levels to be downloaded. The characters can be edited beyond your imagination and it's incredibly fun to do so. The level editor may have it's flaws, but can be ignored when most creative ideas can be implemented and made possible. This is a must have for any PS3 owner.    … Expand

The presentation is the best I've seen in any game ever - the way your little sackboy reacts to fire or spikes, and the yarn-world level selection menu. Granted, this game is not perfect, and didn't get a ten for a reason. The controls are frustrating and clunky, and the level design can get pretty basic, (though there are a few nice levels, and this is mostly made up for anyway through the player level creation). I recommend this game to people of all ages, so don't skip on it because it is not ridiculously violent. This is easily one of, if not the best PS3 exclusive game.… Expand

But the fun of the the story levels don't even stop you thinking it, because it's not that fun. The levels are very 'empty-feeling'. It feels like Media Molecule could've tried much harder with creativity, varying gameplay and simple care put into the levels. Then there's the restriction of tools, which I won't go into; but that's it. It's an excellent game, perfect if not for glitches and restrictions.

    Media Molecule has create a game that doesn’t strive to deliver complexes plot points or attempt to create the best possible dynamics at any given point. Instead they’ve done something a lot more ambitious, they have produced a beautiful sand box for players to fill with their imagination. Truthfully the only limit to this game is your own creativity.
    The game is divided in three very different experiences; the first is a ‘campaign’ where you are plunged onto little big planet from your ‘pod’ to experience what can only be described as one of gaming’s most random and spontaneous stories. I have no grievance to the chaos of the story, as a solid plot is not what the game is striving to achieve. Instead you are submerged into beautifully crafted play sets with vibrant areas, beautiful art style and extraordinary focus. Its hard to communicate what exactly brings these levels to life but its perfection can be put down to the sheer amount of love that has clearly been poured into this game at every level of production. As well as simply playing threw these platform levels you can explore to find ‘prize bubbles’ that will unlock new materials, stickers and music that you can then use in your own levels.
    This brings me to the second section of the game, ‘creator mode’. Here you start of with a set of tools that you can use to make anything from a simple car all the way to a vastly complicated Godzilla robot that can fire lava from its nostrils and crush cities. This mode can be as simple or complex as you want it to be, there are good tutorials at the beginning giving you the basics to have fun and more have been added with a patch, there are also countless publicly made tutorials that can teach you everything from making a trap door to how to make your own killer shark. When you have made something you’re proud of, you are then given a major opportunity and perhaps the most ambitious aim of media molecule yet, you can publish your work to the world.
    The final section of the game is the LBP community, with a few simple clicks you can publish your level so that the entire world can play it. A robust rating system will give you both feed back and praise and your work can easily rise up and even be placed on the world stage. The possibilities of this feature theoretically creates an infinite amount of content and although not all of this is worth playing the sheer concept of how much fun there is out there is mind-boggling.
    There are other features of this game that make it special, sack boy being one of them. This little sack of joy doesn’t utter a single line threw out the entire game, however the amount of communication portrayed threw his moment and facial expressions is staggering. He is truly one of the most loveable characters you’ll meet in a game, standing along side Sony mascots like Ratchet or Spiro. Another astonishingly impressive feature of this game is its music, with a large library of songs from the supper alternative band of ‘Battles’ to the Mexican band ‘‪Café Tacvba’, there is truly a wealth of interesting and appropriate music woven into the identity of this game.
    Last but not least is the inclusion of multi player. At any time, local and online friends can jump into your game. Hosting up to four players per party at any time the presents of others truly enriches the experience further, giving you access to new areas, multi player focused puzzles and games.
    Little Big Planet is a truly special game that doesn’t come around every generation. There really isn’t a target market for it as anyone with a soul can enjoy the humor, thrive with the creativity and have a little big load of fun.    … Expand

LittleBigPlanet is one of those games. It has countless upsides and very few downsides. It sparks the imagination in all of us as its cute and friendly adventures touch your inner child. This unique platformer creates a fun, stress free atmosphere that is very easy to enjoy. Gamers of all skill levels can immediately jump into the game and have a great time, whether they are good at the game or not. In addition to the main story line, LittleBigPlanet also introduces a level creator mode that allows you to stretch your imagination and make your own thoughts and ideas come to life.
    LittleBigPlanet is a very customizable game. As you progress through the story and complete challenges, costume prizes, stickers, and decorations can be added to your collection. Costume prizes can be used to customize your own character in every way, from your hair, your clothes, sunglasses, shoes, even your facial hair. This game gives you a chance to really let go and just have fun, as silly and childish as it might seem. Every sticker and decoration you collect is used to personalize your “Pod.” You Pod is where you meet up with friends online and navigate through the menu. One of the greatest sections of the menu is the “Community” section. Here you get to explore all of the custom levels that other players just like you, have created. Every level is so unique, that it’s almost like playing an entirely new storyline. As a player, you also get the chance to create your own levels. The creating part of LittleBigPlanet is by far the most involved and demanding element of the game. Every tool and level piece you collect in the main story can be applied to your creation. Creating levels is very enriching because it makes you appreciate the hard work and fine detail that was put in to the primary story made by the developers of the game. The reason being that, the LittleBigPlanet developers first programmed the level creating software that the gamers use, and then they proceeded to professionally make the main levels of the game. So, it is possible to recreate the exact levels that the developers made, however, it would take quite a bit of skill. Creating good, detailed levels requires a certain depth of understanding of all of the tools. To my surprise, there is a use of gates. By gates, I mean AND gates, NOT gates, and OR gates that are used in electronic programming. There are many engineering and physics principles that are involved in the creation of your level. Yet it is still very user friendly and anyone can build a fantastic level if they put their mind to it.
    The potential of this game is virtually limitless; you really can create anything your mind imagines. It takes patience and problem solving skills to perceive how every creating tool works and how to apply it to the project. As a result, even after you beat every developer made level in story mode, the adventure continues when you build levels of your own and share them with the rest of the gaming community. LittleBigPlanet proves to be an excellent game that is great to play with your friends and never fails remind you of the fun loving side in all of us.    … Expand

    Innovative, charming, versatile and full of fun. LittleBigPlanet is a must have for most gamers on the Playstation, and has the potential to be one of the best games of the generation. It provides a spark that many games cannot do, and Sackboy convinces the public they are playing video games in the future.
