LittleBigPlanet - PlayStation 3

Little Big Planet is THE most innovative and original game of this console generation and another reason to own a Playstation. Nearly everything about this game is fresh, original, beautiful and above all, fun. And it has a ton of replay value as well. After you finish playing the lengthy story, you've still got a ton of great and original player-created content you can browse and play through as well as the ability to create your own masterpieces. I've played player-created versions of Sonic, Contra, MGS, Star Wars, Theme Parks, and even the Japanese TV show Ninja Warrior. My advice though, don't draw any conclusions about the game until you get to the second area of the story (Savanna) and played some high rated community levels (like The Bunker and Star Wars battle of Hoth) because it can be a little boring when you're just getting started, but after you really get into this game it will provide you with countless hours of quality fun. Oh and co-op is really fun as well. One last comment: This game has some of the best graphics on any platform. This is largely because LBP has some of the best art direction and level design out there for side-scrollers. My only complaint is it doesn't support true, native 1080p but that's really not a big deal since barely any games actually do. Overall an impressive, masterful game that makes me look forward to ModNation Racers in 2010. 5 Stars, hands down.

this is a fantastic game. the graphics will blow you away. this game uses the power of the playstation 3 to the limit. the gameplay is easy to pick up and play, so anyone can play instantly. one button to jump, another to grab, and the rest for customazation. controls are not confusing at all. the game also has tutorials for you that you can go back and learn incase you forget how to do something.the replay value in this game is endless. you can create your own levels or go online and play other peoples creations. so the game is pretty much never ending. the only problem with this game is that the story is kind of short, around 5 to 7 hours. but still alot of fun.I recommend this game to all, especially for thoughs who have a mind to create stuff, you can pretty much create anything you want. buy this game if you own a playstation 3, it is great and alot of fun. trust me it is worth every penny.

I will not lie, I have been waiting for this game for a long time. When it was first talked about, they explained the idea and what they were aiming for and I was hooked, hoping they could pull it off and of coarse, they did. And i'm so glad they did because I was tired of being dissappointed by over hyped games that flopped. But I assure you, this is not the case when you turn it on. With the look and feel like it should be a title aimed at an audience with a 7:00 p.m bedtime you'll get thrown off, I know. But the level of design, creativity, and sheer simpleness is what make this game stand out so much. Sure, the controls can be tighter but your not controlling Mario here. This is an environment where there are 3 different levels of depth at a time. The story itself is not as gripping as titles that focus on character developement and storytelling. But at the same time as the level of difficulty throughout the game rises you'll become more and more interested in the level design and thought that went into making something so simple, so beautiful. Then comes the online community it focus' on. When the story is over the levels become rather old and boring when you played them 20 times. So you turn to the online aspect and so far it is not very promising. It may be because it's a new game and they're working out the bugs but the servers being down more often than not it proves rather difficult. And when they are up you'll be lucky to find someone playing that isn't on your friends list and 7 times out of 10 there is so much lag in the game you have to quit because it is unplayable. So go ahead and get it because it is worth it for the time you do enjoy it and hopefully they will fix all the online issues and make it what it's suppose to be, the A list game the PS3 has been waiting for. It's too late for me though by the time you read this I probably have traded mine in already for Call of Duty World at War.

To start with I have to say I am a Huge fan of this game since before it was released. But it truly is an amazing game and a reinvention of the classic side scrolling game. I am going to break my review into sections talking specifically about those topics. Game play: The game play is Very simple: you run jump and grab onto things. the difference between every other side scrolling platform game is there are 3 planes. and you can go between them at anytime. You will have to use the planes to get around objects, avoid enemies, and collect items. The only drawback to the mulit plane is sometimes the game will do its own thing. You also have the option to play the story levels by yourself or online. Collecting items: In every level you can collect a variety of things. there are Costume pieces, stickers, Level creation items and material for level design. And if you make it through the level without dieing (called Acing a level) you will be rewarded with additional items. Some items can only be gathered when playing multi-player. There are TONS of stuff to collect in this game. and as the levels go on they get more challenging, so collecting everything and acing levels gets harder and harder. But the rewards are worth it. Customization: This game allows you to customize your sackboy how ever you would like. by collecting new costume peices you can change the look of your guy whenever you want. and there are so many options you will never get tired of customizing him. You can place stickers where ever you want throughout the level or in your pod (where you select your games). Creating Levels: Creating levels can be very challenging and sometimes difficult and time consuming but it is up to your imagination to create as big or short of a level as you like. Online Play: There are hundreds if not thousands of levels other people have created online for you to play on. You can play online with friends or random people or by yourself. You can search based on ratings or newest levels so that you can easily play levels you like. you can also bookmark levels for later play. Downloadable Content (DLC): Since the game has been released there has been a large number of downloadable content. Some of it is free while the rest you purchase. And it doesnt look like Mm will be stoping any time soon. On Dec 23 they released the Metal Gear Solid pack allowing you to play 5 new levels, a slew of new stickers and level creating goodies and a paint gun. the new add-on I hope this is an indication that LBP will continue to grow, change and keep things fresh. Overall this is a great game for every age. Its a great mulitplayer game and with all the customization and DLC it will be fun to play for a long time to come. It is a must buy for all PS3 owners.

I do not know where to begin here. From the get-go, the graphics will grab you and when you run through the opening video about dreams and begin the credits and tutorial, you know you have just started something very special. The customization in this game makes it yours. From customizing your own Sackboy (watch out for the toys to start raking in $$$ soon), to your own levels, this game truly immerses you in it's world. The create mode (The moon) requires some time to learn the basics of putting things together and triggerring events but once you get the hang of it (plenty of tutorials to help btw), it becomes magical. These stages can be uploaded to the gaming community for others who do not care to take the time to create to play something fresh and new. This really takes the pressure off the developers to expand this game to keep the replayability going because it all falls on the gamers and it's brilliant, imo. You unlock tools for "The Moon" by playing through story mode and collecting trophies and parts giving a whole new meaning to the terms "treasure hunting" that have plagued platform gaming in the past with no real incentive! Story mode is great and if you're a young gamer or parent, this is THE game that will get the whole family in the living room moreso than any Nintendo Wii game can hope to imagine, imo. I spoke about culture in my description for good reason. The music in this game is absolutely brilliant and introduces sounds and tracks from musicians from all over the world. I am convinced the tuens are strong enought o capture the attention of gamers everywhere and make them explore other musics from different parts of the world. Ironically, the track that stirred a controversy of having the game delayed is one of the more ebautiful songs I have heard in a game. Hopefully the revised disks coming out later have the two controversial verses deleted rather than the whole track. I have nothing else to say att he moment. This game is magical, a new "Pokemon" for a generation of gamers that can bring non gamers alike in front of the tele. This is the real deal and Media Molecule have created something that will be discussed and played for years to come. Sony owes these guys a lot moving forward. Buy this game.

This game is loads of fun. Sure it's a cute platformer with simple controls but it has a lot of depth to it. The game comes with plenty of well designed levels with unique settings, clever puzzles, and fun events. You can play them on your own or with up to 3 others locally or online which makes this great game even better. I've had many funny situations happen when playing with a couple of my friends such as us dying when I jump up and try to grab an object and my friend accidently grabs me pulling us down to our death. We've also gotten into a sticker fight since any time during the game you may place stickers or ornaments and you can place them on other players as well. This brings me to the next great part of this game which is the custom content. This game comes with a fairly simple level editor. It can be hard to master but should still be fun just to mess around in. People can post the levels they made online so anyone can play which means there is always new stuff to try out. Many of the levels are on par with the official ones so their worth trying out. Overall I'd recommend anyone to get this. So far I haven't found a single person who didn't enjoy playing this game.

This game is fun! I'm sorry but it just is. I'm at a point in my gaming where a lot of First person shooters are getting old so my onion might be a little off from others how ever this game is a breath of fresh air! So far I'm played through a few levels alone (it hasn't released yet in the UK and the people I play with are in the UK). I can't wait to see the online portion of the game which is what I plan on doing next. The game is fun enough to keep adults entertained but not blood and guts so you can play with the little kids around (and even with the kids). If you don't know if you want this game their are rental places around and I suggest at least giving this game a try! (Sorry this isn't an in depth review but I just got it today, and haven't even tried the online yet)

From the moment you being you adventure as your own little Sackboy or Sackgirl LittleBigPlanet is pretty much everything Media Mogul has promised. The user interface is easy to learn and the tutorials are located through out the game to always lend a helping hand. Plus there was never any real install time unlike other games for the PS3. For the game its self I have to say that thus far I am very impressed. The levels are beautifully done and just challenging enough. The controls take a little getting use to and can get annoying when you are trying to gather stickers and decorations. I also like how there are little challenges you can unlock by finding keys located through the levels. The level creator I really haven’t been able to play with because as you progress through the game you unlock more obstacles, stickers, decorations, and other things to use. Also since the servers were down I wasn’t able to play online and complete some of the obstacles that require two or more players.
