    In the first 5 minutes I was having lots of fun with Little Big Planet 3. The game has exceeded my expectations so far and I thoroughly recommend playing with friends who might be on the fence using the SHAREplay function because its a blast with more than 3 people playing at once.

    Gentlemen, this is not Assassin's Creed franchise. It's totally innovative new mechanics. The gameplay was so funny. I have enjoyed playing it. My favorite mode is the puzzles.

    I finished the “main story” game, and I played a fair number of community levels and still feel there is a lot to discover in this game.

    I do think this LBP is a lot like the other LBPs, which isn’t bad in itself, although you won’t find a lot of new, super-exciting stuff in my opinion. Having said that, this game still excels at what is supposed to be good at, as a level editor.

    Gameplay is very similar to the other ones; this is a platform game with a lot of puzzle-like kind of things. The “main campaign”, it is good fun and it serves its purpose as a kind of tutorial of the kind of things you can do in LBP, plus you need to do it to unlock a lot of stuff to then build your own levels. There are quite a few multiplayer cooperative levels, which are absolutely fantastic fun, downside is that you’ll need people to play them as, literally you cannot do it on your own. Also worth mentioning is that, if you’re after unlocking all the bits and pieces, you’ll also need to find other players, as some of the secret areas can only be accessed if you got help from another sack boy. If you have some regular friends to play, then the better, but the game itself has a “party finder” tool that works reasonably well.

    As in the other LBPs, the “main campaign” only scratches the surface of the game. There are some absolutely fantastic and fun levels out there that have been made by other players. You can find very different focuses, from platform classic levels, to puzzle focused levels to super-fast, frenetic levels. There is a level for everybody here. Even if you don’t like creating your own levels, I think just playing other people’s levels is fantastic. Other people’s levels are rated by the community, so it is easy enough to avoid playing those that are bad because you’ll basically see bad reviews/low scores. I don’t think the community is very toxic in this game as I found the reviews usually correlate with reality. In practice, this game is in essence infinite, you’ll play it until you get bored, because there are just thousands of levels, so in terms of duration, I believe you can stay with this game for a lot of hours.

    Graphics are decent for this kind of game, no complaints in there. Music, as usual (in my opinion) in LBPs is fantastic. Some really nice songs in there.

    Bad things, multiplayer felt a bit laggy at times, not a lot of times but more than average. Also, I think this game has unfortunately been cut into pieces (DLC pieces) a bit too much. There a lot of extra things you can buy with real money, that hinders a bit the creativity when it comes to level creation; don’t get me wrong, the default stuff is numerous and very nice, but there are a lot of things locked in dlcs. If you liked the other LBPs, this is a safe choice I think, if you like platform games, there is a good chance you’ll like this one. I do believe, however, is a lot more enjoyable if you’re open to multiplayer, so if you’re looking to solo a platform game, you might wanna look elsewhere.    … Expand

    It is a fun game and when the patch comes out it'll be even better. The fact that people are giving it a bad score is absolutely ridiculous. The first minutes of the game was so much fun, and it just kept getting better and better as time went on.

    You will love this game I recommend you buy it, because it is definitely worth it.

    Very entertaining. Great for co-op and tons of fun. Almost makes me feel like a kid again.

    I'm sure it will be a 10/10 once the community gets to full speed making levels, the game has only been out for a few days so people haven't made many good levels yet.

    A great game overall, although some others disagree I feel this is a fresh new addition to the series. What I love the most about this is just like the other playing together can add a whole new layer to the experience, what I also love is the fact that all previous game content I have carries over, this adds a charm to the game like pretty much no other game, at least for the console.

    I might be biased but I really liked this game. It's building is better than LBPVita with all the new tools to use and I (kind of) liked the story despite it being short and focused around Sackboy instead of using the new characters. (You do use the new characters quite a bit though). The story mode's level design is great and the create mode is even easier to use.

    Another fun game in the series. Also probably the last. Story is pretty short (under 6 hours). Level creation is fun and you can do incredible things with it. Game released with many bugs but they are pretty much all fixed nowadays. I got the game "free" from Playstation Plus. Best thing about the game is multiplayer and level creation!

    Sounds: I love the BGM/OST of this game, as with the previous games, it helps create a fun atmosphere, It gets quite adictive sometimes with me huming this or that part to myself while I play.

    Characters... LoL... it is really cool to use the new chars, I do think they could have been more used but maybe they will get more use going forward with the game( I am still on the beggining of the game )

    LBP3 has all the creation sets of the first two games plus anything else you could possibly ask for. Co-Op is limited but ultimately crazy and fun. Bugs are kinda making the game rough at this point-but i see that as no reason to lower my score unless most of them are not fixed within a few days.

    In my opinion, i dont like these 'Deals' MM Do. They´re probably my favorite team, because they can keep everything under control with their games, and bugs are not the biggest problem in their games normally at launch, but this one, seemed to be a little more buggy than usual at launch.
    This game feels a lot more charming than the others, then it comes to story, cause it has more characters, funny challenges, and many small bonus-levels, and many of the "Come Back!" Moments (when you haven´t unlocked the tool to achieve the bubbles you want). As people (for some reason is arguing about), is that the story isn´t what you should buy the game for. Of course it´s not, and it´s never been. But to be honest, i´d like the history, and the feel of the game.
    LittleBigPlanet 2 May´ve got the biggest update/upgrade of LittleBigPlanet, but i think, that this one has given a lot more, of what people wanted. Such as 16 Layers, (Ass)-O-Meter doesn´t really bother you anymore, if you know how to avoid getting a full Thermometer in LBP3.
    SUM UP/Final Verdict:
    The game needs to clean the windscreen for bugs, that they´re working on, and then just listen to the community, and make LittleBigPlanet 3 More immersive than it already is.
    I´ll definitely recommend buying this game, because it´s not disappointing in any way, and may be the biggest LittleBigPlanet Game ever made. Just remember beginners, that LittleBigPlanet, will make you smile.    … Expand

    They're some cons to Little Big Planet 3 however, the game comes with some bugs including some game breaking ones. When I first purchased the after an hour my profile corrupted. This only happened once so hopefully it does happen again. The game crashes at some points so if your making a level, make sure to save it every five minutes. Though many say they're a lot of bugs, I rarely ran into them but my main problem is the crashing. Another flaw is you very rarely get to play as the three other heroes in the story. Heck, after unlocking them, you get to play one level as them, then a boss battle, then on to the next area where you revert back to Sackboy then do the same thing. The only time were you use all four characters at once are in the final boss battle. This is upsetting to me especially because back at E3 2014 they hyped of using all four characters in with multiple friends which is never in the story mode. My overall score is eight out of ten.    … Expand

    I really enjoyed LBP3. As someone who is fond of the first game and pretty much skipped the second it was nice to dive back into the world. Everything is backwards compatible and they've added a heap of new quirky gameplay mechanics. Really good game. Some kids might find it hard to play, especially the later levels.

I've gotten a few hours in and have only seen one minor bug, otherwise it has all been smoother than any LBP experience I've had. Yes, it stinks that you can't play the new characters quite as freely as many people initially hoped, but even without any new characters the core game would still be the best in the series in my eyes.

    Also, basing your entire review/impression on a few remaining bugs seems silly in the long run, as they have already fixed the majority and will continue to clean up the rest in the near future. I agree that it is frustrating that they shipped a product that has any noteworthy issues, but give it a week or two and it will seem ridiculous that so many negative comments were based around issues that no longer exist. The core product is no question the best yet.    … Expand
