Imagine a platformer gameworld that's yours to shape, build and explore. Imagine the possibilities, then jump head first into the reality. LittleBigPlanet puts the power of absolute creation into your own hands. If you can see it, you can enhance it. If you can't see it, you can invent it. The LittleBigPlanet experience starts with players learning about their character's powers to interact physically with the environment. There are places to explore, creative resources to collect and puzzles to solve - all requiring a combination of brains and collaborative teamwork. As soon as players begin, their creative skills will grow and they will soon be ready to start creating and modifying their surroundings - the first step to sharing them with the whole community. Characters have the power to move anything in this glued and stitched-together 3D landscape; they have the power to design, shape and build both objects and entire locations for others to view and play. There's no complicated level editor; all of these skills can be learned by simply playing the game. Creativity is part of the game play experience and playing is part of the creative experience. Fathom out ways to overcome tricky obstacles as you interact with the surrounding environment, or compose inspirational locations and objects that are totally unique to you. Immerse yourself in an organic world that's just waiting to be personalized. Players can make their world as open or as secretive to explore as they like. When it's ready, they can invite anyone within the LittleBigPlanet community to come and explore their patch - or can go and explore everybody else's. Key Game Features - Meet Sackboy, an iconic new character that you can customize to reflect your own personality.
- Dive into a brand new gaming genre that unleashes the creativity in everyone.
- Explore over 50 awesome levels which will inspire and teach you the skills to build your own content.
- Share your creations and enjoy access to unlimited content - a new experience is waiting to happen every single time you go online.
- There's not just one way to play. Players craft their own individual experience based on their own creativity.
- Unlimited possibilities for user-created content - players can customize everything: their characters, the landscape around them and their own patch on LittleBigPlanet.
- Online and off-line. multiplayer modes supporting up to 4 players mean that you never have to play alone. Modes include cooperative and competitive play options.
- LittleBigPlanet global community for players to get involved with: includes player comments, rankings and easy communication with new and existing friends
- Additional Game of the Year Edition features include:
- Collect over 500 objects, stickers, tools and costumes as resources for your own levels.
- Over 1 Million User Generated Levels to play.
- 18 New Bonus Levels designed by actual LBP Community Members.

 Schooling Mario on who the Beast is... August 31, 2010
R. Ondik (Philadelphia, PA)
It doesn't matter what type of games you play, shooters, RPGs, platformers, puzzle, etc. you will appreciate aspects of LittleBigPlanet and will enjoy what it has to offer as there is no denying this an impressive take on the traditional platformer.
GRAPHICS: Beautiful, the textures are gorgeous and the game runs as smooth as it possibly could, online or off, 4 players or 1. The best graphics I've seen in a side-scrolling platformer. The detail is great though you may not notice things like reflections in the score bubbles at first glance. Technically sound and visually impressive.
GAMEPLAY: Your mom could play this game. There are only two buttons, jump and grab, and you move left to right (or right to left). It is complicated a bit by the 2.5D setting, meaning there are 3 levels of "depth" to the layout, but you get used to it quickly. There is technically nothing "new" added to the platform genre, ie moving platforms, large jumps, and springs that shoot you up in the air, but the level design is so innovative and smart and there will be plenty of times you'll think "Wow that is really cool, they could never do that in Mario." Of course all this pales to the best feature of the gameplay, PHYSICS, which is what gives you that "Mario needs to catch up" feeling. The physics are rock solid, just a hair above realistic to let you do some fun things but when you're swinging from grapple to grapple attached to a bungee cord and your sackboy is holding on for dear life punping his legs to getthat extra inch before you jump, it always feels right. Utilizing objects in the environment is perfect and they move with realistic weight. A light tap of the X button yields a small jump while pressng harder yields a much higher jump.
The only hit to gameplay is that with 3 or 4 players the camera can struggle to keep up with the action, but while this may cause some (very) minor annoyances, it prompts groups to work together, stay close, and leave no man (or woman) behind.
CUSTOMIZATION: For a platformer, the game has an unprecedented amount of customization. Each level is packed with goodies that allow you to alter the appearance of sack boy (or girl), from the simple: changing his color or add polka dots, to the complex: adding a george washington style wig with pilgrim pants and a spear for him to carry (in case the natives attack...). Add to that the customization of your "Pod," which is like your home base, and no one will ever have two setups that are the same. You can add hundreds of decorations and even choose music from your hard drive to play while you wait in between levels. Throw in a level creator that is so detailed you could technically recreate anything that the game developers created, and the overall level of customization is unparalleled in the genre. Keep in mind though, that creating a detailed level will take a lot of time, the tool is very comprehensive but you wont be creating a level in minutes.
CO-OP: Cooperative play is where the game shines, it was built for this and is the single reason Nintendo created New Super Mario Bros. Wii to compete. Online play is a snap and people can jump in and out of your games with ease, up to 4 people on a level at once. Inviting players is easy and co-op works just as strongly offline. Certain parts of levels are only accessible with 2 or more players so there is always incentive to have a friend or 2 or 3 along for the ride.
REPLAY VALUE: The only real knock I agree with on the game is that the story mode is short. I can't disagree, but keep in mind there is a lot of content in each level, it scores you against your friends as well as the world online and will let you know how many items you missed on the level giving you plenty of reason to play through multiple times to get that 100% completed. You WILL want to achieve some of these things. Also, as of now there are tons of detailed user created levels to keep you busy, when the game first released the online community was lacking but as updates have come and users have gotten used to the level creator there are some impressive ones out there, I suggest searching by hghest rated to get solid levels. GOTY edition comes with a few downloadable packs, about 20 total additional levels and a ton of extra stickers, decorations, costumes, and clothes to increase the aforementioned customization.
This game is for EVERYONE. Men take heed, your girlfriend who has never touched a videogame and scoffs at you when you choose to play over spending time with her will be intrigued as soon as you turn this title on. The cuteness of the characters alone will make her ask "what is this?" Women, take note, this is an easy to pick up and play game you can finally share with that Call of Duty shooting, Halo alien fighting boyfriend of yours. There are only 2 buttons, so if that 43-button PS3 controller looks too intimidating compared to the 2 button NES controller you played Super Mario on when you were a kid, rest easy, you only need two buttons to jump and grab, that simple. This is one of the best titles for PS3, hands down, the critics know it, the players know it, now stop reading and go find out for yourself.
 A game to please everyone August 28, 2010
WhatsThatGameCalled
A great game to unite hardcore and not-so gamers. A bit short, and the level creators do take a lot of time to make something good. But the game is a gem, and should be part of every PS3 collection. Even more since it's now a Greatest Hits.
If you like coop games to play on the net, or in your living room, with any audience, it is the game to go!

This game is a ton of fun! August 20, 2010
Joshua P Sawicki
This game, while it looks like it is for children, is for everyone. The imagination it took to create this game is overflowing. There are many worlds to keep you busy. If you can't get something on the first try, you can travel to another world, and come back to your trouble spot at a later time, which makes for little or no frustration within the game. The materials used in the game all interact the way they should, whether you are touching a sponge, or slipping on ice. To add, there are endless user created levels created every day, so the game never gets old. If you feel like getting creative, you can create your own level for others to use. If you haven't done so already, do yourself a favor and pick this game up now! You won't be disappointed.
best noun game in the universe. August 9, 2010
pippy longstocking
I had this game for about a year and it never gets old. The ability to Play, Create and Share is endless as you go threw the game to unlock costumes, stickers and materials. If you want the adventure go on and you have PSN, you can play and talk with friends (limit of 80 friends) and play there levels and they can play yours (limit of 20 published levels). Wile you can play threw 2.7million levels you can also publish levels and put keys in thumb to show your levels to everybody in the LBP universe. The action deus not stop there,(must have PSN) you can also download costume packs/level packs levels for about 2-6 dollars. If you had the original save file then your in luck, every thing is in this game. All and all the story is no questions asked five stars. It is impossible to not like this game, so watt are you waiting for. buy it
fun for the whole family August 2, 2010
Moi Sanchez (L.A.)
I played this game wondering if it was any good after my friend let me borrow it. (back in 2008) so I'm a little late for this review but i loved it. later on i got my older brother and sister to play it who later told there friends about it. After awhile my cousins started playing it with me and we would just have fun for hours. this game is worth your hard earn money and will last you for years of entertainment because i already have two years with it and I'm still enjoying it.
