Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk ReviewIf you’ve been concerned that the new generation of consoles has had relatively little in the way of new ideas, then LittleBigPlanet should be the game to restore you faith. It’s difficult to describe properly, which is a good thing, because it means it’s very different from the norm.
Peculiar machines like this are the norm in LittleBigPlanet
Although combat is a minor part of the game, there are some huge bosses
Creating your own levels from scratch is as easy as playing them
Objects can be made out of anything from wood to sponge, metal, and felt
Amazing graphics bring the world of the main character, known as Sackboy, and his fabric-coated pals to life with realistic physics and a stunning level of detail. Played with friends it’s a great puzzle adventure, as you co-operate and compete across each level.
The game’s trump card though is its customisation, not just the characters themselves but the whole game. It’s extremely easy to create your own levels, and the best fun is had simply setting up areas for mucking around and then sharing them online with other people.
Key Features
Unreal reality: There’s never been a game that looks like this, with ultra cute characters but realistically modelled physics and materials from wood to sponge.
Co-op fun: Co-operate with up to three friends, as you run, jump, and swing around each level and overcome the cunning puzzles and dangerous enemies.
Everything changes: Every single element of the game is fully customisable from your player character to each of the levels and all of the objects within them.
Mad scientist: Create your own unique levels and change the properties of any objects to make Sackboy mincing traps or huge machines that can move whole levels.
Eye see you: Use the EyeToy camera to further customise your game with special stickers that allow you to add your own photos to any level.
About the Developer: Media Molecule After working on games such as Black & White and Fable, a group of ex-Lionhead Studios employees formed Media Molecule. The Guildford-based studio rose to frame through the independently produced Rag Doll Kung Fu, but their first retail game is LittleBigPlanet.

This game gets 5 stars for several reasons the first being its cost! I paid 40£ on release for this and that was well worth it! At under 20 this is an absolute steal!
The funny thing about this game is - the longer its been out - the more there is to do! Sony have released some great add ons already and in addition to this the LBP commuinty has produced some simply breathtaking levels that were not available on launch!
Immense fun in multiplayer and a great way to meet ... Read More

Well I've been wanting this game for a long time now. I didnt ask for it for christmas since I was only aloud 3 games and they were CoD5, Resistance 2 and Mirrors Edge. I thought they would all be better than LittleBigPlanet but oh was I wrong. I bought it a few days after christmas with my money and I got addicted immidiately to it.
Well 1st of the gameplay. A platformer that has so much too it. I never thought I would see the day. When I started playing the Story mode, It was fun ... Read More

Firstly, I never would have bought this game were it not for the fact that Amazon had it on offer for £17 - seemed like a no-lose situation so I went for it!
You have to finish the first 3 Worlds before LBP's online world is accessible, but once you do it's fantastic and really adds longevity to the game.
The controls can be a little frustrating, especially jumping in and out of the 3 'depths' of screen - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't!!

LittleBigPlanet (PS3)
Lets cut straight to the chase...
Little Big Planet is essentially a platform based PS3 game - same controls, same gameplay, same look and feel of countless platform games that have gone before. That said, the visuals in the game are stunning! Everything in the game from it's vivid colour palette and highly detailed textures, right down to the accurate physical properties of all the objects you interact with, make LBP a unique gaming experience in itself. ...

Rating: - Family fun - Just what the PS3 needs!
I thought about doing one my extensive reviews, but given the sheer amount of positive feedback already I'll save burning my fingers away... All I can say is that you own a PS3 or are thinking of buying one, this is the game that everyone can play.
Their's no hidden agenda about it. You simply play as 'sack-boy'; your own rather sweet customisable character and through solving puzzles and collecting extra items, you must make your way from one side of a level to another.
