    Doesn't make me come back...

    I got this game along with the choose your game for the ps4. My friends told me i should 've gotten something else but when i started this, they were right. I stopped coming back to it and all the characters were weirdly modeled. I thought the introduction part was fun but I only played 2 times

    Extremely enjoyable game let down by a very short main story mode. I came across the odd bug, like falling through the floor of a level, or flying to no man's land as the bird after missing one of the tubes by mistake. However I didn't come across the so-called game breaking bugs that plagued the game's launch. It's fair to say these glitches have been fixed for the most part.

    The gameplay is typical LBP, with precise jumping required alongside a half-intelligent brain to work out where to go. The usual modes are back, and side missions such as creating a vehicle to jump further than 2,000 metres are fun. The story mode characters are all voice acted now (sack people aside, who are still mute – this adds to their "cute" charm though) and the levels and characters look fantastic.

    Ultimately a slightly longer story would make this a great game, as it stands it is still good though.    … Expand

The developer may have changed but the action and fun really hasn't, All the child like wonder and imagination the games have had is still there. With amazing level design varying many different styles from bright and friendly to dark and less then inviting. The user created maps are still a huge part of the game as well, Sumo Digital went to great lengths to design a great map creation tool with a even better tutorial system that actually makes you want to learn and create your own map. LBP3 really shines with Co-Op play, It's great fun trying to work your way through the maps as a group, some maps taking much longer then others.There are a few glitches found in the game that can cause you to have to restart the level and sometimes even the game, unfortunately that takes away from what is quite a immersive game. But fans of games like Rayman Legends or Any of the Mario games will be able to pick this game and get right into it. Sumo Digital has done the Little Big Planet series justice and if you have been a fan of the previous games or similar ones and you have a PS4 I highly recommend you give this game a try, especially with some friends.… Expand

    What a disappointment. The game is dull, uninspired and frankly kind of broken. I lost count of how many times I had to restart it as the load screen just would not finish. Without mentioning corrupted save files and the sort. And it amazes me that even so many months after its release the game was not fixed. It's like they don't care.

    Another huge mistake, in my opinion, was making the game more vertical than horizontal (a trademark of the series). The game became unnecessarily "complex" to explore, with sidequests and a few gimmicks to make it different (and longer). Nobody wanted that! Just give us a handful of GORGEOUS, 2D SIDE SCROLLING LEVELS. Is that too much to ask?

    I gave up on the game. I don't have too much time to play anymore, so I really need to enjoy myself and have fun with a game I decide to purchase. I fear the franchise dies here, folks. And that is just sad.    … Expand

    Dissapointment.The game isn't bad.It's just dissapointing.It has the look of the original and the gameplay of the second game but none of the heart and soul.Create mode is amazing.It has so many amazing tool's for creator's.It's a shame that the game is buggy.The new charecter's are good.The story is easily the weakest in the series.Buy it when it gets fixed,it should get a cheaper by then.

    Simply put, the game in its current state is broken and not worth your time. I'm a huge LBP fan and have sunk well over 1000 hours in create mode in LBP2 and this LBP3's glitches simply impede any enjoyment to be had.

    That's not even mentioning the broken community UI, the missing DLC on the PS4 version, and the general lack of improvement from LBP2 or V. The new characters have abilities that already were possible in LBP2 and there already was access to extra glitched layers. It's not to say that these aren't welcome additions, they just are not massive changes in a series that is starting to stagnate.

    The story contains fun levels (if much less cohesive and polished than its predecessors) and the community will assuredly make awesome things, but until the developers patch the modicum of bugs I wouldn't recommend this installment.    … Expand

Also the level designs are really confusing , for example in one you have to collect 3 marbles but unless you play it constantly you can never remember which areas you`ve completed and gained previous marbles. You have to guess which one you have to do. It really does feel like an unpolished experience compared to previous versions of the game.… Expand

    LittleBigPlanet 3 ist ein sehr tolles Spiel, die Levels sind wie immer einfach unglaublich Kreativ. Leider sind im neusten Teil die meisten Tutorials nur noch als Video zu sehen und nicht mehr interaktiv.
    Natürlich ist es trotzdem, gerade wegen der Community Levels ein nie enden wollender Spass.

    The campaign is not the best. However, since this is Little Big Planet, it doesn't matter. It's pure fun for me and my friend when we play ridiculous community levels. It's just good, clean fun. The graphics are good, and the bugs were patched. One gripe is that the soundtrack isn't memorable. That's it. It's fun.

    Ever since '08 when the first LBP came out, I've loved this series.

    The elements you enjoyed in the previous two games are still in this game, and in addition, you have new characters to play as!

    Level editor is fun, character customization is fun, stickers are fun.

    Overall, this game really shines on family game nights, and just a casual hangout with a buddy.

    I give LP3 an 8.1/10

    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.

    Bugs are getting ironed out so the initial backlash should subside, and hopefully the community will continue to grow as times goes on. This game will go only as far as people will push it, because it's their levels that keeps this game's coop and multiplayer active.

The create mode is great. It has always been great and always will however i would have given this a 10 if they had added more new tools to your roster.

    Really bad camera when playing 2nd half of game levels in local co-op, you kill each other by too big distance(single jump or tube make such distance).
    Terrible respawn mechanism (your mate is dead, you go forward to continue but in corner you see respawn point, then your mate respawn, camera focus on him and you die) There should be button that you hold to trigger respawn.
    At end game try to be longer by just not giving you respawn points that results with glichy levels a lot of tries.
    Game is short! really too short - 65 euro for so short game?
    While game is short I had to buy extra strory that cost me 7 euro and it took us 3h to complete... lol.
    Game can crash during loading(in 3 days few crashes, only crashes I had since I bought ps4).
    Face/mood mechnism and R2/L2 hand control is also not used at all. Do you remember Oddworld fart-hello-sing minigames? With those faces/hands this should be somehow used in this game like in oddworld.. but well faces/hands are useless.
    This game looks half completed and overpriced. I guess someone pushed devs to complete while first half is nice designed(first robot fight was for me WOW, cool game) and 2nd is really poor quality. Local co-op was also pretty skipped in testing.
    Hope some big patch will be released to fix at least control and respawn problems. Too bad game is so short and every another short story try to get your money.

However, there are other parts of the game that actually seem harder with more people since you share lives.

    The new characters are fun to play with but others may not like them all. And since you spend most of the story mode unlocking them, it seems like the story ends much too soon.

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.

Maybe it was because nothing seemed new/groundbreaking, or the addition of voice acting (which I definitely don't like), but something was definitely not right.

    My biggest complaint is the difficulty. With the addition of the new characters there's tons more ways to fail and die while trying to finish the adventure. I basically have given up on the Great Escape level because I wanted to snap my controller in half. This LBP reminds me a lot of the LEGO Games (collecting, multiple characters with unique abilities) and so I wish they would get rid of the "you die you have to restart the level."    … Expand

    The game itself is good, but lacks too much differentiation from its previous iterations. Fortunately, I've only run into a few bugs. LBP3 has joy to be found, but doesn't differentiate itself enough to stand out. Media Molecule didn't work on this, and it shows.

    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.

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 music .. seriously the best ever in the series. One level that stands has a wacky Rock & Roll theme which features licensed 50's music. You'll be blown away both visually and audibly. Between the new characters, top down view, 16 layer 3D depth topped with a monster load of new creativity tools and other features (you'd need a book the size of War and Peace to list), you're going to be exploring for a long time to come.

    I haven't even touched the amazing community levels yet as I want to first collect as many goods from the game as possible. Those who are racing through the campaign just to the to the end are missing out (or just not the creative type), which is why your goal will be a short one in comparison. It's understandable though, as some people just prefer playing rather than building.

    When LBP1 came out, I found that it's greatest shortcoming was the difficulty a player would have switching between layers. It was often clunky and resulted in characters getting stuck behind the scenery. With LBP3, they've made transitioning much smoother and easier to do, so this is much less of an issue and sackboy/girl actually behaves the way you want them to.

    I haven't delved too deep into the creation tools but from what I have seen, they have greatly streamlined the experience. Level creation is easier than it was previously, What's more, you cna upload levels made in LBP1 or 2 and play / share them in 3, so there's virtually no end to the content you'll get out of this title.

    Soundtrack is, as usual, great. Better than in LBP2 for sure, with a return to more indie rock and alternative music that blends very well with the overall experience while still standing out in a good way.

Lots of chaotic fun I promise you will be laughing all the way through because it really is that enjoyable, so if you liked the previous two LBPs you'll enjoy this one and if your new to the franchise and want to try it for yourself before you buy ask your friend to share it with you.… Expand

    Super fun on your own, but needs more freedom in co-op. [Issue#257, p.72]

    As usual I had fun with LBP – it’s hard not to love sackboys and sackgirls – but I expected something fresher and more polished from the series’ debut on PS4. [01/2015, p.44]

    LittleBigPlanet 3 wasn't an easy legacy to take on, but Sumo Digital made a good job and released the best entry in the franchise to date... but also the most controversial with lots of bugs and missed opportunities.
