    Sumo Digital has taken Media Molecule's masterpiece to a whole new level. Right from the start, you can see how much brilliance they've added to this game. The campaign mode itself is just off the charts, with so much going on, that your jaw will be on the floor the entire time. The new weapons, the inventory system, and quest list really turns this into an adventure. Wait until you seeSumo Digital has taken Media Molecule's masterpiece to a whole new level.

The new weapons, the inventory system, and quest list really turns this into an adventure. Wait until you see how many RPGS the community comes up with this time!

    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. LBP2 was the only game I played the most on PS3, and LBP3 is the main reason I purchased my PS4 which has now has been completely justified! You guys/gals at Sumo Digital are frigging magicians! Oh, by the way, wait until you unleash "Oddsock".....    … Expand

    Best game in the series thus far by a long shot. The level designs for story mode are easily some of the best, most creative and inspired of the series. They are constantly introducing some REALLY cool new platforming elements, tons of new powerups, enhancements to existing mechanics big, medium, and small in scope, and an overall smoother and prettier experience.

They are constantly introducing some REALLY cool new platforming elements, tons of new powerups, enhancements to existing mechanics big, medium, and small in scope, and an overall smoother and prettier experience. 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

    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.

    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, this game is one of the main reasons why you should own a PS4. The gameplay can be endless if you utilize the community features properly, and the levels that people come up with are often brilliant. A great perk is that they've included all the user maps from the 1st and 2nd games, so you'll get to enjoy all of the content that the series has to offer.

    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.

    Story-mode is short as usual, but I'm into this series for the level design kits and to enjoy other people's creations. If you are a platforming nut like I am and yearn for this type of gameplay that has been put on the back shelf of developers, then pick up this game. The possibilities are endless.    … Expand

    This is an excellent game and possibly the best in the series. I don't quite understand why so many people complain. Like Bricktop911...who might be the sulkiest and most pathetic gamer out there. Really...dragon age destroyed your love of console gaming? Really?!?!?!?

    As many professional reviewers have pointed out (even the negative ign review) this game is great fun. The bugs that were present have patched day one and this is probably the best LBP yet as creation tools are far easier to use and understand.

    The LBP series is not about the "campaign". The campaigns is mediocre at best, and are also pretty short.

    At first I had a problem with the campaign being short, about 4-6 hours depending on how much you explore. That's playing every level in the game. But then I realized how many LBP3 user created levels there already are. Right now they have about 10 levels that are of the same quality of the actual game that I know of, and I've only looked at levels for about 30 minutes. Daily they have more and more.

    I've seen levels that replicated The Last of Us Remastered and those levels looks JUST as good. I was blown away with the lighting effects, the rain and reflections.

    The main reason why I'm 28 years old and totally in love with this game is just that it makes me feel like a kid on christmas day while playing it.

    It has improved almost everything little big planet 2 did. The new characters are great, although they could have been used much more during the story mode. The new tools are easy to use and add almost unlimited options, that it already had. If you liked the previous lbp games, this one you will love.

    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.

    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.
