    There are a few bugs plaguing the game but there is nothing really game breaking. Many times, we ran into an error when we tried to pull up another profile saved on the PS4 when another player joined the game. This required me to delete the profile several times. It was incredibly frustrating to lose all the collected outfits and stickers associated with the profile.

    The story mode is creative and fun but it is pretty short. There is definitely enough to keep it interested and the environment and levels look beautiful. As good as the levels look, not all of them are completely fun or amazing. There are a few areas in the game that require teamwork to access and those are pretty rewarding moments. 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. Creating levels and created levels is what gives this game the most life. I myself am not the creative type but I do find some of the levels other people created to be incredible fun.    … 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.

    Having played (and loved) both LBP and LBP2, I was really excited to play this!

    It quickly becomes apparent that the developers (sumo digital) just dont have the ability to keep up the standard set by Media Molecule.

    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

    When i heared they were making a LittleBigPlanet 3, I was extremely excited. However when I got the game, I realized that all it was, is a LBP 2.5. Not much changes from the game.

    To make it short: This game is way too short.

    Gameplay is good, coop is nice graphics are good, online mode is a desaster. Sadly I bought this full price and completed it with mys GF in 6 hours and it was fun. Yet disappointingly short. Then I tried playing online and always got kicked from everyone and was not able to play at all. Then I put that game onto my shelf and that's it.    To make it short: This game is way too short.

    A pesar de que ya ha perdido el factor sorpresa que nos maravilló con su primera entrega, sigue siendo una saga con una jugabilidad tremenda y con unos decorados maravillosos que te hacen pasar horas de diversión como pocos plataformas consiguen en la nueva generación de consolas

Esto por desgracia rompe por completo los niveles de la comunidad hechos en el primer y segundo juego.

    Its really a shame how the series dropped, I felt the story was really odd for this one and it had a really weird mission system with not nearly enough unlockables and tried to focus on that with paid ones. Its still more lbp so you can't be disappointing but it just didn't have the charm of the first one

    I feel as though LBP3 came out a couple years too late — when it was announced I was excited, but also had somewhat forgot about the franchise.

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

    I'll keep it short...

    Story sucks like usual and is like 4-5 hours long
    New characters are not used very much in the story
    Bugs and glitches (Patch coming)

    The creator is still great and way better than the creator in LBP2.

    Do not buy the game if your sole purpose is to play the story mode.

    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.

    Just like the reason of why I bought a ps3, this is why a bought a ps4. Such a huge disappointment, this game had such good potential, and it was just wasted and ended up being so bad. I'm already looking forward to Little Big Planet 4 after this train wreck.

    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.

    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***

    LBP 3 must the most disappointing game in the series (unless you count LBP Karting, which is even worse). It's not bad, it's just underwhelming. The fact it launched with tons of bugs and glitches didn't help with reviews, but these have since been fixed.

    The Adventure mode is the shortest and by far the most boring out of the 3 LBP games I have played (the others being LBP 2 and LBP Vita). Other than that, everything else is exactly the same as previous games, because the series hasn't progressed much since LBP 2. There is the usual 4 player co-op (both online and offline), there are some gadgets, there is the usual nonsensical story and some cute art style, but nothing new. The new characters could have refreshed the stagnating series' core gameplay, but sadly they are little more than a cameo.

    Aside from that, there are more and better tools than ever to build whatever you want in Creation mode and better tutorials to understand how it works. You can make anything ranging from a simple platforming level and an basic arcade game, to whole cut-scenes/movies and even entire games like RPGs. It's essentially a suite to create games for those who are patient and skilled enough. The LBP community have created some amazing things you have to check out. You can also import levels built on previous games, so you have instant access to pretty much all of the user-generated content since the first LBP game.

    LBP 3 is still a good platform game to play either solo or with friends, but fans of the series won't find much to excite them. It's a pity LBP has hit a wall, there may not be another new LBP game, and original developers Media Molecule are now working on Dreams. Let's hope for the better.    … Expand

    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.
