Little Big Planet for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

Do to its ''Block Buster hit'' as i call it I LOVE IT! Of course every game will have a bump. And that one is the map building. But of course it perfect! I recamend buying it instead of renting it for it perfectness. Game of the year? More of game of the decade for kids

When I first opened this game and moved a few steps I almost gave it up, thinking it was for young kids 10 or younger. I gave it a shot anyway and it became harder and harder, I almost couldn't put it down. Play it! Play it alone then with a friend, for 2 player goodies. It's a really fun game! I may have to buy it.

I received this game for free with PlayStation Network's welcome back package, and only play it when my three year old niece is with me, as I can only play things that are child friendly.

This game is very boring to me. I know that it has a hardcore following, but it just did not appeal to me at all. I think it might be the only game I've ever fallen asleep while playing. Some of it comes off a little cheap to me.

I wish they had hired some voice actors rather than have generic cartoon mumblings for the in game characters. I will say the dialogue of the narrator made me chuckle a bit from time to time, but he's the only real voice throughout the whole game. The rest is you reading while cartoons mumble jargon behind speech bubbles.

I want to like this game for some reason but I get so ticked off when I play it. The characters are loveable and fun to control. The music is fun yet haunting. I don't feel right playing this game. Sack people should be allowed to carry a firearm. His sack world is a pretty sick place.

This game is defaintley different when it comes to level design and gameplay but not worth a buy in my opinion. First off the story mode is frustrating and annoying after a while. You do the same thing over and over again only to come to a almost impossible challenge and die 3 times and get returned to the very beginning of the level!!! Now once you get fed up with the story mode you can move on and create your own levels. Sounds fun right?? NO! If you don't have patience and time don't even bother. Theres so many tools and objects to use its almost impossible to create even the simplest level without planning and knowing how to use the awkward control system. Also i was told by a few people there was a online multiplayer, i'm not sure if i picked the game up too late or if the servers were down while I had this game but I couldn't find anyone to play online.

Overall i'd give Little Big Planet a 6.5/10 simply because theres no other game like it right.

I thought that after waiting for the 1 hour updates to finish downloading for this game would be a sign it was great but no. It was just ok, I did think the graphics were interesting with how they designed it using real photos of real objects, not CGI. But as for game play it was just ok, nothing spectacular.

Cute,kids thought it was Cute. Cute that's it!!!

While it's simple to build smile inducing contraptions, the game's harsh physics engine rules out the kid's market -- one it's clearly striving to reach. This miscalculation alienates people who are looking to create something darker, or at the very least, something not involving an adorable sack person.

With that said, the game is fantastic for marketing, however, It's also just not intuitive enough for the casual, and not meaty enough to satisfy the hardcore. With a lacking single player experience There's just no way I can recommend this game, at this time.

Hopefully, the sequel will have better results.

We got this at the recommendation of a friend and we will most likely be keeping it!

Insanely quirky (in a good way), unique gameplay, overwhelmingly creative and great for 1 or more players, you cannot beat this!

The music is great (Cafe Tacuba, anyone?), the controls are fairly easy and responsive, and the game is so expansive it's difficult to fault it for anything.

My only complaint is that screenshots are incredibly small when transferred to your PS3 HDD, so you can't really upload snapshots and keep them for personal use.

The game still gets a 10 rating anyway.

Sony always manages to get their hands on gems. We can go on and list the many great games but this game is a huge accomplishment. LittleBigPlanet is a true gaming experience. It's brilliantly fun, with an enormous amount of things to do. There's a story to play, a community of player levels to behold, add-ons galore, and a level creator so you can let loose your creative abilities. LittleBigPlanet is a great platformer for all ages and I'll rate it on several different categories.      

Presentation 10/10: Everything about LittleBigPlanet is handed go you on a silver platter. The menu's are easy to explore, the tutorials are perfectly able to help all ages, and the game itself is simple enough for everyone to enjoy.   

Graphics 10/10: This game looks gorgeous. The character models and level textures all look great. This is how a next-gen game should look like.   

Sound 9.5/10: One word sums it all up: Spectacular. The soundtrack is perfect, and the voice acting is superb. My only little fuss is sackboy or girl could've used a couple more sound animations.    

Gameplay 9.5/10: The controls are tight and simple. The various amount of things to do from platforming to shooting the paint gun are all smooth. Creating levels are easy and co-op just adds even more to an already great experience.   

Replayability 10/10: LittleBigPlanet can take a tremendous amount of time out of your life. There are the story levels, challenges, downloadable add-ons, community levels, and even level modulators. Add all of this and the ability to play with up to three people, there is an endless amount of gaming and fun this game.   

Conclusion: LittleBigPlanet is a masterpiece. It has a blend of great gameplay, visuals, and a lot of variety. This is the next big step in gaming. It has so much to offer for every age group, creative minds, and even new gamers. I highly recommend this game for anyone and everyone.

this game would be best to play with your girlfriend, if she likes to watch you play but is not to god at video games this game is perfect to play with her the create can take a bit of time so if your planning on being hardcore about building levels and all that just buy it other than that its pretty fun some levels could be tricky with more than 1 player but with harder levels the key is to take your time

This game is so neat & kool.
Iv'e played it for my first time & found it very intresting & have. Very Cute! If u like Super Mario, you'll enjoy this Game!!!

... and don't rate the game because comparing it to fps, third person shooters, or racing games.

I remember a time being a kid playing the NES version of Mario and it was the most wicked, wild and fun thing. Little Big Planet would be this generation's version of that thrill. This is a platformer, there will be jumping, dangling on things, and hitting switches to go up and down things. This borrows ideas from the games from days gone by. After a series of repeat fps and third person shooters, this belongs in a game library for a reason!

The real gold in this game is the level creator and the ability to play the levels of other contributors. People have tons of creative ideas, it may not seem like a big deal, but searching around, people really put in the effort to theme, and recreate all sorts of levels based on movies, books, and other games.

Like most games that has some reward/unlock system, the unlockables are costumes, stickers, objects, and other assortments of junk, but they contribute to the game in rewarding those bubble points and to use in level creator.

If you've got a bit of art sense in you, you'll see the sheer amount of artistic flair and composition that goes into those backgrounds and surroundings. The game is stunning in a psychedelic motion pop-up book sort of way. The music is pretty good, too.

The only con in this game is the controls, it could be tweaked a bit better, but otherwise, this is a great platformer with some replay value for folks who want to create their own levels.

I got this through gamefly cause I wasn't sure if it would be of interest to me. After an hour of playing, or wait was that 2 hours..Who am i kidding, this game has such interesting levels, not to mention all of the things you can do to create your own levels that time has no meaning. I played the story line for at least 4 hours, just so I could collect an assortment of different objects to start creating my own levels. The tutorial is awesome, they really found an excellent narrator, who keeps it interesting while teaching you the ins and outs of the game. Level design is a little challenging but i am sure that with practice I will be able to design some pretty sweet levels like the rest of my friends on PSN. Get this game. it rocks out loud!

This game has gotten many awards, and for good reason. The graphics are awesome. I love the soundtrack in this game, very quirky and upbeat. Great to enjoy with your friends online or off. Can be very challenging at points, so don't let it's cute appearance throw you off. Limitless downloadable, user created maps. Even create your own maps. The replay value on this is second to none. Bought it right away after I rented.

This game is awesome. It is a must buy for all PS3 owners out there. I was a little skeptical about playing with a little sack doll and thought that it was going to be the worst game play ever, boy was I ever wrong. There is so much that you can do from creating new worlds to changing your sack man to anything that you would like. It has a great online game play mode for up to four players and has very few lag issues if hardly any. This game is great for all ages and is well worth the experience.

This is the most fun and addicting game I've played in a long time! Anyone with a shred of gaming knowledge should get this game!

Although it might seem childish at first, this game is extremely fun. That goes for gamers of all types. The levels are both a challenge and something to look at. I love how it looks and how everything feels. The ability to customize your sackboy is fun and keeps things interesting. I haven't gotten into creating levels, but it seems to offer the ability to make almost anything. It takes me back to the old Excitebike days as far as that goes, the last time I ever spent time creating my own levels. This game is a definite rent if not buy.

Little Big Planet is the most refreshing game I have played all year long. It is simply a flawless master piece that will hopefully help rejuvenate the side scrolling puzzle genre.LBP is pure imagination where possibilities are endless. LBP consist of two main modes the story mode and the custom map mode. Story mode takes you around the glob in a theme adventure where you must save Little Big Planet form the evil collector. Each level consist of a series of puzzles that you must solve. The game mechanics are simply jumping, running and grabbing the many object in the world. I personally have not seen a game with such deep game play based such simple controls since the classic SNES Mario Bros. LBP created a core game play of simplicity and then added depth through excellent level design. Ever level is theme appropriately with your world location and the levels get progressively harder as you play the game. The puzzles are exciting and you feel a bit of relief when you successfully avoid falling into that pit of alligators.

As you progress through the game you unlock new clothes and stickers for your characters. The clothes are an awesome way of decorating your character appearance to yours heart desire. Stickers serve a dual purpose one being decorating your character and the world the second being placing trigger stickers in the correct location to unlock secrete paths in the level. You can also control your character emotions and poses for the pure entertainment factor or to use the camera function.

LBP also has a very in depth level creator that lets you create or recreate a wide variety of platformer and other genre of levels. The engine requires hard work and time but you can truly create some awesome things. The level creator also adds a lot of depth for some of the more hard core gamer types. LBP is one of those games where you really need to play the game in order to truly appreciate it. So definitely rent this game.

This is probably going to be one of my shortest reviews ever, ever, of a game (and this is a guy who write for a gaming site).

ONE OF THE BEST GAMING EXPERIENCES I have experienced in an oh so long time. I bought LittleBigPlanet so quickly after renting. The atmosphere is family friendly....graphics are stunning....gameplay is phenomenal

So If I were you, put this at the top of your Q or your to buy list.

You get to customize your character and build your own levels which is extremely FUN AND ADDICTIVE.I rented this game as soon as it came out and I still have it. When I return it, I'm going to buy this!!!If you like platformers at all YOU WILL LOVE THIS. The only problem I have is sometimes jumping doesn't seem to work right, and once in a while you get kicked off the server online. Everyone that has played this at my house has loved it- me, my wife, my kids, friends, even my mom. There is nothing bad for kids in the game. IT'S JUST FUN!!!!!

The first time I tried this game, I loved it. I am 14 and this game is definatly not for younger kids. You can create whatever your heart desires. By playing the career mode, you can unlock more items and clothing used to make your worlds. 1-4 player support (plus online play) is also astounding. My favorite thing to do is create my own object and stick wheels on it and roll away! TMF-(Too Much Fun!)

This is probaly the funnest game on the earth right now. It will have you playing all day. I bought this on street date and had non-stop fun. For an E rated game this game is truely for all ages. It is fun for the child,teenager,or even adult.
The story of it isn't freat but the story game play is fun you don't even need to pay attention to the story since it's skipable. Online laged alot at first but with new updates it has improved. The game is funny,cute and friendly to get a game like this you don't need to be creative just go ahead and play other user-made levels.

This game just might suprise the he ll out of you.

Brings back the early gaming days of platformers. Yet its an all new experience. Your retro gaming needs are met when playing levels designed after our favorites (donkey kong, megaman, mario brothers etc). new levels designed like our newer generation games like mirrors edge, anime themed like the macross level all show how deep the game could get.

This is not a kids game. its a family friendly game but not a kids game. if anything i think most levels are too challenging for children.

I can see a crowd that is all about shoot em up games with the kill em all mentality not taking to LBP. Those games are a dime a dozen. about 8 came out this holiday. minimum.

A game like littlebig planet only comes every so often. Do not miss out on this gaming experience. Your only short changing yourself.
