    I was shocked to see the user score for this game. This is not the score it deserves. An infinite playground of innovation and fun with creative potential rivaled only by its sequel certainly deserves better. I'm not a fan of insulting opinion, but this is just wrong.

There's literally millions of levels to play so you never ever get bored. Please just ignore the users' low scores this is an amazingly perfect title that must be experienced by any video game lover.

However, other than the occasionally annoying plane switching mechanics, this is a thoroughly enjoyable game. The story will take you plenty of time to complete, without being overly long or drawn out, and the puzzles are mostly varied. Even once you've completed the story the unlockables offer much more game time, with prize bubbles to collect, bonus levels to unlock and other players' scores to beat. The level editor is also a great addition to this game and the community levels (which mainly consist of mini-games rather than full platforming levels) are some of the most fun you can have with a few mates on a console game.

It offers a great online and offline component that any gamer should happy with. It also shines in the main campaign as every level look hand crafted with attention to every level. It was a great experience in the main campaign unlike anything out on the market. Unfortunately, the camera works against you in some level that prevents you from getting the prizes and some unreasonable level designed that could make levels imposable to pass. The level creator is average because the tutorials take forever to finish and unclear at some section on what to do. The level editor doesn`t recommend what objects worked well in a level and has glicthes. It dose offer a wide range from a variety of tools you can use to make the best level you possibly can. However, only dedicated players can stand how long it would take to make a level and dosen`t offer split screen for offline players. The reason that I gave it a eight is because it`s a game that the whole family can play which makes a for unforgettable experience. Expand

    Nary a fault to be found. This is platforming, community, and art direction blended into one of the most revolutionary games to hit the genre since Mario ate his first mushroom so many years ago. With Solid Snake out of the picture, Sackboy is arguably the frontrunner to be PlayStation's totem for years to come.

    Ok, whoever reads this, ignore these ignorant Microsoft fanboys that are extremely jealous that they aren't able to get a game as good as this. Any score lower than a 9 is complete bull**** and are just jealous fanboys. This game is amazing and with over 3 million levels, it's time-consuming. Really Fanboys? Jealous? I think yes. Now go play your oversaturated Mario and Halo games.

It is simply amazing how the developers were able to push the graphics on the PS3 like they did. Let's face it, the PS3 in terms of it's GPU performance is out-matched by the xbox360 (most developers like me would agree). LBP forces us to think about that sentiment.

It's easily one of the most beautiful games I've seen with such a clever and fun art style. The tag line, "Fun will overcome" sums this game up nicely.

    This game is a small miracle. You have to marvel at the imagination and creativity of its creators, who also knew how to give it almost infinite replay value: even in the story mode, replaying old levels can be a thrill when playing with others online, discovering new ways of solving puzzles and interacting via hand gestures and funny faces.

    This is definitely in my "Top 5" List. This game was the reason I wanted a PS3 so badly. It's for Kids, but Adults too! Kids will love going through the multiple obstacle courses throughout the game, and if they're good at that, making levels of their own will be even more fun! I highly recommend this game for all players with a PS3!

You don't go into LittleBigPlanet expecting a superb story, you just want to have some mindless fun with your friends! And the connection is pretty stable. Needless to say, I've looked tons of hours socialising with other players, playing levels with them, creating levels with them and then screwing them over by b****slapping them. :p The levels are unique and the interface is concise and helpful so you can find exactly what you're looking for. The story missions are pretty creative aswell, I especially like the prizes you get for not dying and the prizes you get for collecting prizes bubbles. Did I mention this is one of the few games that gets collectables right? For one they're actually useful in designing your own levels and they are located in places you'de have to think to look. Adding a degree of challenge to the game. The only critiscm I can give is that it can be a bit laggy online, especially on the last level of the story mode. With everything else the game does right it's easily rectified though.

    BTW: The narrator (Stephen Fry) is awesome. He also guides you through mechanics of the game (Such as prize bubbles or level creating.)

    The great thing about this game is the user-donated levels. I've gotten to play two "Batman" levels, a God of War inspired level, and quite a few others that are simply amazing (try Pac-Man in it; it won't disappoint). Is this a retro-style game? Yes. But it's a brilliant one because of user-designed levels (if I find the time, I just might make some of my own).

    I'm in the beta; great so far, and all previews and reviews suggest the full release will be even better. It's extremely disheartening to see bitter 360 fanboys out in force to lower the rating for such a great game. Any rating below an 8 is made by a fanboy of a rival console who has never played the game, and has no intention to.

    The game is awesome fun. The combination of physics and platforming works really well, and the posibilities of the level editor are only limited by your imagination. It's the gaming equivalent of Lego

    This game is the most innovative game I have played this gen on any console (I own both PS3 and 360). The character and ingenuity is second to none and I take my hat off to Media Molecule for daring to do something as ambitious as LBP - and pulling it off with finesse!

In an era when games seem to be more about fanboy wars, as this voting system has shown and which has the shiniest graphics, it is nice to play something that brings back what games were really meant to be - fun. Two slight negatives though, one is that there are a lot of tutorials but these would become more of a problem without the fantastic Stephen Fry narrating; and problem #2 is that I have important exams all through this next 8 months and LBP is going to spoil all my preparations for them :) Expand

But once I started on this game I've had a hard time putting it down! My husband and I sat on the couch and played for 5 hours without ever realizing it! My 12 year old son (who I have to fight with over which shooting/army games he can buy) liked it so much he decided to go buy with Christmas money 2 days after we rented it. What I actually like about the game: The graphics are great - so much so that when we turn it off and just watch tv it's boring. There is also a 'never ending' amount of levels if you have an internet connection. You can play other gamer created levels via internet in which some of them are absolutely unbeleiveable. It's amazing what can be created. I love the little sack person. You can make him smile, frawn, smirk or whatever. Shake his head - swirl his hips - blow himself up to get out of tight spots....or - get close enough to whoevers playing with you and you can smack'em in the head! Let's see your infantry solider do that! :) Not to mention - you can dress it to look any way you want. You do have to unlock costumes and stuff - but that alone gets addicting - just trying to beat someone else to the new stuff! :) Then there's the giggle factor. Holy cow - that's a big one. There are so many different things that will have you rolling. From shooting each other with paintball guns - to flying crazy with speeding rockets while you try to hold on - to driving monster trucks and motorcycles and riding on skateboards.......and - of course - smacking each other with stickers that temporarily change your costume......anything from monkey faces to 3D flowers to oversized sunglasses to making donkey tails swing from your hat or your head. I highly recommend playing it with someone else - even if it's on-line. You work together to get new items and help each other through out the whole game....besides - you won't have anyone to smack if you're by yourself!! :) I could go on and on. It's simply a fun, extremely interactive, happy go lucky game. Expand

The bigger and more badass, the better the game. I despise the fact that Media Molecule has created a too simple, too easy to use interface to make levels on a gamepad, because I prefer more complex and difficult controls of a PC. I think it's much better to create on the PC even though it's really hard, slow and requires a ton of web manuals, opposed to creating almost anything on a gaming console for anyone to try and make better. Personally, I think gaming consoles are flooded with do-it-yourself platformers/puzzle games, so we definitely need more shooters. I also cling onto the only small fact that the controls are a bit wonly to codemn a classic game into a pile of turd. I also hate sackboys in general as they are cute and cudly. My mom says im cute and pinches my cheek and I hate when she does that. I want to be a man, a real man that shoots with a canon and blows stuff up. I don't want to blow stuff up in a cute game, and want all things to be shades of gray or brown. I think my opinion on this game is the only truth and other people should respect that decision. or not. Instant classic. Expand

    I beta tested this game and I can tell you one thing... LBP is the best "game" that has been released in a long time. It's just addictive. Makes the whole "create, play, share" to be really awesome. From the cheesy levels that make you laugh to the really cute and ingenious ones playing user generated levels in little LBP is just plain fun.

    The creative possibilities of this game are limitless. Not only can you play, create, and share levels online, but the game brings a good amount of developer created levels that not only offer a good source of inspiration, but are wondrously created and fun to play on their own. This is, without a doubt, the must own title on PS3.

    Ths game is simply one of the best this year. If you want a great platformer for core gamers and newer ones its all there and once the core players get done with the main game there are very deep level building tools to make your own levels which your can share with others. For the new casual player there is a great platformer that has a wonderful charm to it. Ita also narreted by Steven Ths game is simply one of the best this year.

    This game is exceptional. It's really versatile too. It's not just a platformer but it can be so many things like an old arcade classic, to a mini game like tetris. It's hard to imagine what all this game can't be. It really is big.

    An addictive, quirky, charming and absolutely delightful game. It's taken from fun to extraordinary with the inclusion of the multiplayer support. This gem belongs in every PS3 owner's library.

    Wonderful game. Nearly endlessly entertaining so long as user content keeps flowing. There is already many user created gems floating about, id recommend picking this game up ASAP if you own a PS3, you don't know what you missing out on. A completely unique experience.

    I have always been intrigued by the game and the idea of sharing user created content, but never once let my expectations reach a level of easy disappointment. I must say, after playing the beta (with limited content) what Media Molecule has created is a pure gem. The game is, simply put, Amazing.

The content created by users range from top notch platforming to riduculously hilarious pointless fun. I have never played any video game in my life that has literally put me into tears from laughing (See: Rocket Ship). When you play this game (best with a friend) be sure to play Rocket Ship. Probably still one of my favorite. Even with minor control issues present as stated in many reviews, it is no where nearly enough to keep anyone from playing or partake in the plethora of creation possibilities. The community is by far the best offering available on any console today that is best compared to YouTube. I give the game 10/10 (is 11 possible?) Expand

    This game is an absolute blast, i was in the beta and even though it was just a beta, it had so many tools and functions it could have sold as a full release. You can really make anything you want, and whats great about it is that it isnt just make it and go, there are two parts to creating a level, the first is to build it, and the second is to make it work and tweaking it and such, This game is an absolute blast, i was in the beta and even though it was just a beta, it had so many tools and functions it could have sold as a full release.

    I rate this game a 10 simply because, while I was playing the beta I couldn't remember a time when a video game made me more happy than little big planet. Whether you are creating your own world or playing around in someone else' world, there simply is no end to the joy in which this game brings forth.

    This game is pure fun. While I enjoy the game even while playing alone, the real fun is the chaotic nature of playing with multiple players that are at different platforming skill levels.

    Best game to come out in years it is a must own for anyone. If you were looking for a reason to buy a PS3 this is it. No matter your gaming level hardcore casual etc... this game will meet your needs. Fantastic effort from MM and should be game of the year.

    After spending hours on the public beta back in August, I simply relised I was addicted to this game. It could be the interactivity, the smile of the sackboys face or even the fluent gameplay. For a game that has only 30fps you can see why. There are no grenades or bullet penatrations like in CoD4 to make the game lag, so 30fps works just fine. Now, the soundtrack.

Which really sets the atmosphere for gameplay, and I think MM captures what LBP was built on perfectly with the soundtrack. Expand

    After playing the beta, I've got to say this game is great. Might be the best game I've ever played. Why is it a 5.9? Some 360 fanboys got to this, it looks like.

    Sorry, but this game has left me speechless. Buy it. If you haven't got a PS3, buy one. Then buy LBP. You will not be disappointed. I'm not joking.

    This is absolutely the most fun I have had on a console in the last decade. LittleBigPlanet is childlike joy incarnate; pure blue-sky fun of the kind we have not seen in years. This is the game I have waited for my entire life.

    There simply isn't anything else like LBP on any system, anywhere. It's a beautifully elegant and powerful creative tool that puts unlimited potential in the palm of your hand. [Nov 2008, p.92]
  2. We're just happy to see a flagship game for a modern system that's about running from left to right and jumping over things. New ideas are great, great old ideas are better, and LittleBigPlanet has both: it's the future and the past of videogames, rolled into one.
  3. Little Big Planet is revolutionary thanks to its flexible, fun and powerful editor. Creating a quality level takes time but the feeling of achievement is overwhelming. A must for everyone who loves creativity or likes to explore what the creativity of a passionate community can produce.
