stevemNov 15, 2008This is a fabulous game. I predict it will start a new wave of games that allow the users to create and share their own levels on consoles. Ignore the XBOX kids who haven't even played this game. They are lowering the rating because they are mad that Sony didn't give them the game too.

MarkoBuxtonNov 14, 2008The only reason this game has a 6.3 is because of douches who give it a zero because it's not a shooter game. Shooters are great but they get old just like any game. Little Big Planet is great not a 10 but still pretty good. Fun to screw with people online too, slapping and grabbing people is fun

RogerR.Nov 9, 2008There is simply nothing like LittleBigPlanet anywhere else. It's a fun game that you can play with anyone, kids, adults, teens, it has appeal for everybody. The ability to create and share your own levels is something else that everyone should enjoy. This is the best game for PS3 so far.

JeremyPNov 8, 2008Awesome game. For those that don't like being creative though, this game is NOT for you. The Story mode is nice, and well done, and over time there will be a lot more user created content that doesn't suck. But you won't like it if you can't create things on your own.

HarryLNov 7, 2008Utter rubbish, played it for 10 minutes, and every level was as poor and cliche as the next, the story line is terrible, the graphics are the only thin i could see right with this game, and wiht its im not a dork, im a video game maker look to it, if you want to run around with fluffy animals and have a fun time with it, viva pinata is for you

SamE.Nov 7, 2008This game's an absolute blast for the whole family, and everyone who visits. I have absolutely no complaints with it, controls are excellent, and the hidden treasures and puzzles are perfect. I'm looking forward to getting online with this once we've played through all of the levels.

LJRNov 7, 2008This game is the most innovative game I have played this gen on any console (I own both PS3 and 360). The character and ingenuity is second to none and I take my hat off to Media Molecule for daring to do something as ambitious as LBP - and pulling it off with finesse! This is my GotY (although Gears 2 is a very very close second)

SimonNov 6, 2008Why on earth is this game being rated so highly? I was playing games similar to this back in the days of the atari 2600, run, jump, run, jump some more. Innovation my arse. Do yourself a favour save £40 and download a snes emulator and play much better platformers for free.
-
-
AaronChapmanNov 5, 2008This game is absolute rubbish. I'm sure microsoft would of done a better job with this. The PS3 will never stand up to the XBox 360 and Wii, and i am ashamed to admit it as i am a PS3 owner.
If you want to discuss this further, add me on msn : lil-azza@hotmail.com
Or talk to me on myspace =] -
-
JamesKNov 5, 2008Sorry, but this game has left me speechless. Buy it. If you haven't got a PS3, buy one. Then buy LBP. You will not be disappointed. I'm not joking.
-
-
ChrisIannittiNov 5, 2008A beautiful game. This is the first game I've played in a long time that actually made me feel like it was made to be fun and not just for the money.
-
-
MichaelPowersNov 5, 2008This has to be the most fun I've had playing a platformer since Mario64. Its a most buy if you own a PS3. The only reason I'm giving it a 9 is because of the 2.5D auto switching when running or jumping. Its not always perfect but it doesn't hurt the game any as the developers animated the cute and cuddly sackboy, or sackgirl, so damn well. I'd give it a solid 9.5 if I could.
-
-
JackHanoyNov 5, 2008Best game to come out in years it is a must own for anyone. If you were looking for a reason to buy a PS3 this is it. No matter your gaming level hardcore casual etc... this game will meet your needs. Fantastic effort from MM and should be game of the year.

AarneLehikoinenNov 5, 2008The Best, better than all the rest platformers on ps3! Reason to buy the console!
-
-
BenWaltersNov 5, 2008Highly original, and appealing to everyone. A must have for any PS3 owner (and a must have for anyone who hasn't got one!)

StanKojimaNov 5, 2008Can't even get online for a little co-op play. All sort of server issues. I paid $60 plus tax for this. What a ripoff
-
-
TomFoxNov 5, 2008Amazingly fun game! The story mode is kind of short but the online community expands the game so much, with the custom made levels and what not. Plus, new download content every week or two will keep the game fresh and interesting. A must for any PS3 owner!
-
-
DanielBarberNov 5, 2008Even my other half loves it.
-
-
AnonNov 5, 2008Hyped game, that really doesnt appeal, I thought PS3 was going to be the bloody gore monster of next gen... hmmm maybe they should have released this crap of a game at launch to get some better numbers... Sony is dumb, I loved the PS2, its not about the money, its how they are doing it...
-
-
CollinNov 5, 2008Amazing game. I truly love it. Fun by yourself, 10x better with another person in the room.
-
-
DaveSimonsNov 5, 2008This game i ssimply amazing. From the spectacular visuals to the addictive gameplay, its a refreshing change to find a game that doesn't take itself so seriously and represents what a game should be - fun.
-
-
uziNov 5, 2008SIMPLY ROCKS.
-
-
DavinG.Nov 4, 2008Just beat the last story level and the whole game lived up to the hype and even surpassed it a bit. Wouldn't usually give the game a 10, id say it deserves a 9 or 9.5, but gotta cancel out the fanboys who scored it at 1 before it was even released.
-
-
JeffG.Nov 4, 2008The game is average at best. With just really not that much to do, LBP will not keep you coming back.
-
-
CangrejolacruzNov 4, 2008This game is really fun. Best platformer This Gen.
-
-
ShawnKuhnNov 4, 2008Wonderful game. Nearly endlessly entertaining so long as user content keeps flowing. There is already many user created gems floating about, id recommend picking this game up ASAP if you own a PS3, you don't know what you missing out on. A completely unique experience.
-
-
AnonymousMCNov 4, 2008An addictive, quirky, charming and absolutely delightful game. It's taken from fun to extraordinary with the inclusion of the multiplayer support. This gem belongs in every PS3 owner's library.
-
-
GmoneyNov 4, 2008Great game, very few flaws. Cooperative platforming is very fun. Build and share makes for unlimited replay value.
-
-
RobertoRocherNov 4, 2008This game is a small miracle. You have to marvel at the imagination and creativity of its creators, who also knew how to give it almost infinite replay value: even in the story mode, replaying old levels can be a thrill when playing with others online, discovering new ways of solving puzzles and interacting via hand gestures and funny faces.
-
-
paulturnbullNov 4, 2008Amazing game! Never played anything like it before :)

jewmcfaceNov 3, 2008It's fun for about ...5 hours and then its complete shovelware.

-
EtanL.Nov 3, 2008This game is awesome. I love creating my own levels in this game. I have almost all the trophies. The graphics don't have to be good in this game; when you play mario bros. (If you must), Do you care about the graphics? No! For shooters maybe, but this game has the best gameplay I've ever seen. (Minus Half-life) Buy this game; Seriously!

ChrisM.Nov 3, 2008This game is exceptional. It's really versatile too. It's not just a platformer but it can be so many things like an old arcade classic, to a mini game like tetris. It's hard to imagine what all this game can't be. It really is big.
-
-
Jean-KarloR.Nov 3, 2008The creative possibilities of this game are limitless. Not only can you play, create, and share levels online, but the game brings a good amount of developer created levels that not only offer a good source of inspiration, but are wondrously created and fun to play on their own. This is, without a doubt, the must own title on PS3.

TonyC.Nov 2, 2008You people giving it a 4 or less are completely ignorant! The most innovative game that has come out in a long time, Yeah sure its cutsey and the graphics are not like gears of war or somting. Thats the style they went for and it works. The game lacks only if your own imagination does. And whoever called this an rpg is an idiot!!! Learn your games first losers.

JonS.Nov 1, 2008The game is great. It's all about creating content from the user, and publishing it. And it hits it out of the park on that. The tools are great, and when you can use imported pics, that will be great. All the zero ratings are just fangirls trashing metacritic ratings. Ignore them.

SimonC.Nov 1, 2008I think that this might be the biggest difference in professional and user reviews on Metacritic. Personally I found the game to be extremely innovative. Sadly, it wasn't all that much fun.
-
-
ScottC.Nov 1, 2008The great thing about this game is the user-donated levels. I've gotten to play two "Batman" levels, a God of War inspired level, and quite a few others that are simply amazing (try Pac-Man in it; it won't disappoint). Is this a retro-style game? Yes. But it's a brilliant one because of user-designed levels (if I find the time, I just might make some of my own).
-
-
SexySquadNov 1, 2008This is probably the most beautiful and inspiring game i have played in years. its simple, creative, and innovative game. this game pretty much like a fresh air with the cute characters and beautiful Presentation. I hardly recommend it to any gamer casual or hardcore. So if you have a ps3 BUY the game now and If you dont have a ps3 Buy a PS3 and buy the game.
-
-
JayJ.Nov 1, 2008If a game can interest my wife, who never plays games, then it deserves a 10 in my book. It's a great throw back to the 80's when mario was the man. Throw in user created content and the sky is the limit. Thank you Sony for taking a chance on such a great game, a game that Nintendo and Microsoft both passed up.

ToddA.Oct 31, 2008I finally got this game after hearing about it for years. Its all I expected it to be. My only gripe is that it doesn't scale up to 1080i but instead down to 480p. It still looks good anyway. Its like a virtual playground.
-
-
AlanS.Oct 31, 2008It may actually be more interesting to create the levels than to play, or it may be that I'm not as into platformers as I used to, but I found the game pretty boring. The presentation is top notch, but I got bored with it pretty quickly.
-
-
TomL.Oct 31, 2008Since many people are gicing this game a 0 for no apparent reason, I'm giving it a 10 to even the score. Unlike what other people say, it's not a RPG, it's not turn based. It proves most people didn't even bother watching the trailers before posting their ratings. Shame on all! It's a great game
-
-
AndezOct 31, 2008Best game I have played in a really long time. Beautiful, innovative, simply amazing. Seriously, ignore those posting low scores. Xbox 360 fanboys are getting a little upset, so we best be patient with them.
-
-
VictorF.Oct 30, 2008A throwback to the 80s years of the platformer with a web 2.0 mentallity LBP manages to bring fun to an industry plaged by violence. It's hard not to love the adorable sackboy and the well thought levels already premade make for a lot of fun but the creating just makes this game one of the best of the year.
-
-
CliffQOct 30, 2008All the people giving this game a 1 or a 0 are M$ types, trying to bring down the joy of the PS3 and this awesome game. The story part is less than thrilling but the part where you can go out and try all the user levels, that is where it gets awesome! Don't be fooled. Go try it.

RayCOct 30, 2008Very addictive game, fun and spirited. It's great to be able to build your own levels, game is very polished aside from the laggy server when it first came out. With all the user content people can make this should keep most occupied for some time to come well after the single player game is finished.

MarkM.Oct 29, 2008Perfect for all ages, and designed not only for the hardcore computer and game savye, but also for those less inclined to play video games. A team spirited, fun, and challenging game which brings you back to the Mario Bros genre but with the added twist of being able to design and interact with the levels on a different way!

ThePirateOct 28, 2008This game is simply amazing, from the robust creation system to the fun and fun singleplayer, to the flawless online. This is a game that all PS3 owners MUST buy! And LBP has only gotten a low user score because of the delay. it seems Kiddies get easily Angered, shame.

DustinOct 27, 2008This 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.
-
-
StevenCOct 27, 2008This game is one of the best platform games that I have ever played. It ranks right up there with Mario and Ratchet, I hope the game sells well as I would love to see a sequel. There is not much else to say besides that I welcome anyone's created content.
-
-
JohnS.Oct 27, 2008Boring.. Not much more than your standard side scrolling platformer. Overhyped, pretty and run, jump run.. There are better examples on the market or this style of game and the editor for all of it's massive easy to use functionality is actually complex for the average user.
-
-
AndrewS.Oct 27, 2008This game is amazing. I picked up my copy this last Saturday and have to say that not only was I addicted but my wife and children were glued to the TV all weekend. It is by far the best fun I have had since Mario on the NES. Great fun for you and the family.
-
-
JasonE.Oct 27, 2008Superb game. An original concept executed with a unique style and high production values wrapped up in classic 2D platforming gameplay. Creativity and community options guarantee extensive replay value. If you own a PS3, you must get this game. If you don't own a PS3, this is the reason to buy one!
-
-
MeroA.Oct 26, 2008I love this new IP I think by the time the online servers are on and running 100% it will be awesome. I mean it is nice to see what the developer has prepared to us. But I want to see what XxvampirexX will be developing.
-
-
MattJOct 26, 2008A stunning game, but the fact R* removed aircraft during development (There are ways to access choppers by 1 or 2 glitches, have a good rumage around gtaforums.com) and other niggles that could have been improved before release simply make me unable to give it a 10, even though I think that Liberty City is a far superior setting than Vice City Stories' on PSP. 'Nuf sed:-)
-
-
AbeL.Oct 26, 2008Absolutely amazing game, There's nothing else like it on any system. Every single facet of this game is completely and utterly flawless. It blew me away, and the user levels continue to do so. Perfect. Game of the year. Hell, game of the decade.

AnthonyLongcockOct 26, 2008Typical idealistic/marxist piece of garbage. Play as hitler and kill the jews? No Thanks. I do not support the extermination of hundreds of thousands if not millions. This game is pure garbage. Watch this game around children. There are breaking reports of swastikas visible in the fibers of the dolls.
-
-
NickM.Oct 26, 2008This game lives past the hype it was receiving and easily deserves the game of the year award. This game never gets tiring because of the variety of levels people upload to the servers for other people to play. People were paying $350 to get this game a week early. Tell me that is not crazy.
-
-
JacobB.Oct 26, 2008I was disappointed after i got this gamewith the supposively good reviews. It basically is not even a game or it is a game without a goal. I would not reccommend.

EdwardM.Oct 25, 2008This is the best Action-Platformer since Mario. Coming from me - a Super Mario Fanatic - that is a huge compliment. I don't know how the fan rating is only at 6.2 unless "Special Ed" rated this game a 6 two thousand times. If you have PS3 buy LBP. If you don't have a PS3 buy it and make your first game LBP. Peace.

Playstation Official Magazine UKThere simply isn't anything else like LBP on any system, anywhere. It's a beautifully elegant and powerful creative tool that puts unlimited potential in the palm of your hand. [Nov 2008, p.92]
-
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.
