    LBG 3, what went wrong?

    I loved LBG 1, it was easy to get into, fast to play, and there was no speech we added a certain charm to the game.

I encountered bugs where i had to restart the game, and there were way to many pause for conversations, and loading screens.

    LBG 3 isnt the same game I fell in love with when LBG 1 game out. Sad to see such a game fall from grace. Dont recommend buying at all.    … Expand

    Not nearly as good as the first LBP game, but an improvement from LPB 2. Story was alright, gameplay was better than what it was in LPB 2 and the new creating possibilities are enormous.

    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.

    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

    Now before I get started I should say that I only played around 2 hours of this game, but that is also part of the problem. The game seems like a chore to play. When I first started playing I wanted to finish the campaign portion of the game, but I just can't force myself to play it for that long. I could not bring myself to play it for more then 30 minuets at a time.

The charterers in the game are annoying and talk way to much. And the loading times are ridiculous, especially for a ps4 game (also has a ps3 version so it's not like LBP 3 is punching the ps4 to it's limits). The platforming is ok, just ok. This is not a horrible game, it's really not even a bad game. But I could not get into it, and I never want to play it again. But that's MY OPINION.… Expand

    The later parts of the game are absolutely infuriating, so much so that i quit playing it, its a real shame because i love sackboy and his new friends! :(

    So is it a bad game? No. Its a good game but just too difficult to fully enjoy.    … Expand

    The game is really short, and there is some new characters that are not used almost at all, and for some reason my progress didn't save when I played online which made me have to start all over again for no reason. LBP 2 is far superior.

    awful platforming, awful menues, you must type O button 3-4 times until you get off from them;
    story is weak, some times unskippable, stages are way worse than in LBP2;

    but great platform for creativity... not enough for a player, not a future game designer

It's sequel, while not as good as the first by my standards, upped the ante by introducing new features and a new creator engine. LittleBigPlanet 3 ups it even more, by giving us even more features, and some more playable characters, while it does have some flaws.

    The game still has the same charm that made it's two predecessors so noteworthy. Everything is made out of different materials, and our sackboy is still s cute as ever. The story is just your simple story about a hero saving the universe. While it is short, that doesn't bother me. All the levels are so varied, with each taking on a different noteworthy task. One thing that i wasn't too fond of was that all the characters (except playable ones) are fully voiced. For me this took away the charm of the incomprehensible gibberish that all the background characters spoke. I do like the overall voice performances though, especially Hugh Laurie as our lovable semi-villain Newton.

    The big new feature that LBP 3 introduces is the new playable characters. We have Oddsock, a dog-like sack creature that is super agile. Toggle, a beefy sack person that can change between big and small. Finally, my favorite new character swoop, a bird sack creature that can fly and, well, swoop. All these characters are so fun to play as, which is why i'm so sad that they aren't in the game that much. But, with the new gadgets available, sackboy is still a blast to play as. As always, you can customize these characters with cute little costumes, which, even if you didn't buy DLC, there are still a lot of costumes. Also, if you link up your LBP account with this, you can get all your costumes, stickers, decorations and goddies from the first two games carried over to this one.

    As always, the community levels are amazing. I love seeing all the people across the world putting their spin on the littleBigPlanet level creator. Some of these community levels are even better than the actual levels in the story. The level creator is very in-depth, and maybe a little too in-depth. I found myself struggling to create something outside of a simple platformer, i felt so buried underneath all the features.

    LittleBigPlanet 3 is a great game all around, and is one of the best exclusives currently on the PS4. 8/10    … Expand

    Leaving aside the obvious that it's a game aims the youngest members of the house, it still has the ability to deliver tons of fun, it's also very good looking, reeeeally colorful, it follows the line of the series. The story is simple and very has a very basic humor, children aimed, but it isn't a bad thing given the type of game it is.

    The coop is fun and you'll have a great time, either using the SharePlay or online with random ppl.

    I'm not very creative myself, and although I tried to create my world ... I'm a huge mess, so was my girlfriend! But we will try to make our own world even so, we shall succeed! Sooner or later...

    I was pleasantly surprised to see that the public worlds of some people are even better than the story itself simply stunning! The community is awesome and I've come to realize that this game is not about its campaign, it's about exploring your creativity and sharing it with everyone on the community.    … Expand

    This is a great platform game I liked it a lot. This is my second Little Big Planet game and my favorite one. The added characters are a great addition to the franchise and to play as. However, the only issue for me was the last levels where you have to replay from the start after you failed many attempts. Taking that aside is a great game.

    With this being my first LittleBigPlanet experience, I found it to be a satisfying, delightful and colourful platforming world. However, I can't say that LittleBigPlanet 3 has much replay value after completion of the main story.

    Me ha gustado, a diferencia de los otros anteriores, este he notado la campaña bastante más corta y las innovaciones que tiene este juego son los artilugios y los 3 personajes nuevos, lo demás es lo de siempre pero es muy entretenido y divertido y con amigos es mucho mejor.

    Little Big Planet 3 is not the game I've been waiting for. First off it's way too short you can beat it in like 5 hours!!!!! and it doesn't even feel like an LBP game, likely because it's made by a different developer no longer MediaMolecule it's now SumoDigital. it just feels half assed and not worth your money luckily i got it on a valentines day sale so i wasn't in deep s***

And I love that.

    It shows off what the players can do with levels. While there is some poorly-made levels out there, most of the content you'll find our really great levels! You can even play levels made in earlier games. I also appreciate the upgrade from 3 layers to 16 layers, giving you the chance to really expand your levels in very unique ways. I'm not entirely sure if it's something I'll always use, though.

    Unfortunately, the DLC is kind of lacking, seeing as there's not many LBP3 exclusive level packs. Really something you should skip over.

    Anyway, long story short, it's a great game if you really want to see user-generated content, and I highly recommend you pick this game up.    … Expand

    I played 2 hours of this game. The majority you barely play. It is mainly boring story.

    Compare this with games like Crash Bandicoot and Super Mario. They let you play the game 90% of the time.

    Having an Elvis impersonator follow you around while 50's music plays is not fun. I don't want cliches. It's just so uninspiring. A chore to play.

    P.S. stickers are not fun or pleasing.

    The story isn't too interesting, but it's a kids game so they may enjoy it. The creator is... better than LBP2's creator. But the devs haven't addressed the terrible server issues and bugs. The devs have prettymuch abandoned the game really. The community is still good but everything seems a little less lively.

    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.
