    Having played this game in 2023, I think it is still a fun and interesting game. For me, the opportunity to play together on one screen is valuable. It was fun.

    Quality platforming with the ability to create custom content. And locally, it is just fun.

    This game is byfar one of the best PS3 games i've ever played. Anyone who wrote a negative review is objectively wrong and you shouldn't listen to them because they are just man children who crap on any great game. I still play this game to this day because of how amazing it is!

    This game brings memories back. I am not a competetive gamer and mainly play casual and me and my sister would spend hours just building random levels than made no sense. I never tried to finish the game beacuse I was young and it was hard. I didn't care and still look upon this game very fondly.

    You just build weird stuff.

    I absolutely loved the levels but found it dull after finishing them. The fact that multiplayer is needed to get 100% completion on some levels is absurd. I play games usually alone and offline so this made it hard to enjoy the game to it's fullest. The map creation is an amazing concept and theres a lot you can do but theres really no use in using it. I get that you can publish them butI absolutely loved the levels but found it dull after finishing them. The fact that multiplayer is needed to get 100% completion on some levels is absurd.

This game was MENT to be able to play offline and online yet once you finish the story mode you're forced into online.

    Summary: This game is enjoyable if you plan to play it online. If played offline it can get dull fast.    … Expand

Speaking of create mode, LBP lets you make your own levels and you can publish them online. Although the servers have been shut down, efforts to make custom servers have started, allowing you to experience the online aspect of the game. This game is truly like no other, and will be remembered as one of the greatest PlayStation games for years to come.… Expand

    This is an excellent platformer, lots of fun and very kid friendly.

    The visuals are cute and engaging, the gameplay is challenging without being abusive or offering too steep a learning curve. The level designer allows you to customize your own levels and that creates immense content from other gamers who created and shared those levels. Overall, excellent game.

    I'm surprised to see that the user score is so low. It's the last great platformer, the first great PS3 exclusive, and one of the greatest games of all time.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

This uniqueEvery videogame has its upsides and downsides. Most are targeted towards one specific age group. Only a few videogames can be played repeatedly and always provide a different experience. 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

    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.
