Amazon.co.uk Review
If 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.

 Little Brilliant Planet November 13, 2008

Have been playing this for almost a week now and it's still excellent.
The controls do take a little getting used to as everything, including sackboy, obeys a certain level of physics. Once you've got used to his momentum when jumping around the game just gets better and better.
Inventive gameplay, fun multiplayer (I've tried it off and on-line and it's amazing!) and some excellent levels included on the disc - plus all that user generated content to come!
If you haven't got it by now, you really should go and buy it straight away!

I've never written a review on amazon, but after playing this game during the beta i felt compelled to tell people just how brilliant this game is.
First off you have the story mode, in this its like the normal single player type of game, its ingenius and fun to play, for the first time my girlfriend played with me and she hates game but loved this, its simple and just a great laugh, first customising your sackboy/girl and then playing the levels together, its cute, friendly and everyone can play.
The story mode could be sold on its own as its probably better than most games out but its probably less than half of what makes LBP Great.
After playing through most levels you can start creating your own, now i've played many games you can edit levels and i've been left confused mostly and stopped after 5 minutes, but steven fry's tutorials last around 30 minutes and after this your pretty much sorted! i created my own level after an hour or so which my girlfriend played and told me it was too hard and there wasn't enough colours a "womans touch" she said and even she wants to make one. After you've created the level you can publish it online and get other people to rate it and see what they think.
All in all this game is superb the story mode alone deserves a 10/10 but with the online mode which lets you play other peoples levels whenever you want and you don't even need to play them online so no lag or random online people slapping you it makes an endless supply of content!
I was worried it would be quite simple games as its basically a platformer but this was squashed after i saw people making large complex systems, rockets, cars, traps, calcuators, protecting a box, sonic, boss battles, Mario, metal gear solid and grand theft auto levels it'll be hard to get bored!
I hadn't preordered this game but now i have, this game is perfect for anyone girls guys kids adults, you need this game, if any parents are reading this looking for ideas this is the game! its recieving perfect scores all round and is the only game that seems not for the Wii and that isn't a shooter!
BUY IT NOW!!!!

I'm not going to go into too much detail in this review as there's already 193 others on here, so I'm just going to add to the praise as this game is fantastic.
Growing up with 2D platformers like Super Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog, this game is perfect for me as it really captures the feel and style of all of those classic games and adds a new and refreshing touch to it, thanks to the gorgeous HD graphics and excellent soundtrack, and is just pure platforming fun.
Being able to design your own levels exactly how you want them too is a great feature offering hours of extra enjoyment alongside the main story mode and being able to play other people's levels over PSN means that this game is literally endless.
Overall this is an essential purchase for the PS3 and is without a doubt the best 2D platform game since the 16-bit days!

The only game you will play and be amazed at how simple concepts, are the most fun - the levels created will not only inspire you but when it comes to creating your own stage there is a wierd revelation that this is what has been missing. this is what every one and their mama has wanted to do since the birth of gaming which is create and share their game ideas.
the levels you can create are endless and you can download other levels created by other LBP players. They can also join in and you can have up to 4 players thrashing about on a level.
this game has everything ,charm, replayability, continous downloadable content, great graphics, funky music,intuitive controls
you can keep it simple and just collect and play the user created levels or mangle your brain and produce a level worthy of media molecule themselves. You may only be able to run, jump and grab but the design of some the levels is absolutely amazing.
trust me once you've started creating a level you will be thinking of devious new ways to improve your level throughout your working day. ESSENTIAL
WARNING THIS GAMES WILL NOT SUIT THOSE WITH NO IMAGINATION
Buy it Try it Love it.
 A platform game with a difference November 8, 2008

After all the hype, I wasn't exactly sure what I was getting when this game arrived on my doormat, but I was eager to find out...
Basically, this is a platform game.
The game opened and I started out by being given a Sackboy, which is not made of sack at all but is knitted. I had one or two items to dress him (her, in my case) in, and add hair etc. to personalise her. She looked quite cute when I'd finished, and I was amused to discover that I could use the controller to make her smile, pout, look round (by moving the controller itself round), and move her arms.
Then on to the game. Firstly,Stephen Fry narrated a series of platform tutorials which showed my Sackgirl how to walk, run, jump, pull and push things, and grab hold of things so that she could swing herself to different levels. I didn't want to do these tutorials but I had no choice: can't play the game until they're done! As I completed each one, the next one unlocked and taught me the next set of skills. I realised eventually that I needed these skills to get anywhere with the game...
The platforms were great to look at: very realistically 'constructed' out of wood and material and sponge and cogs and wheels and all kinds of interelated items. It felt a bit like being inside a big toy shop. My Sackgirl had to negotiate her way through all kinds of obstacles, without getting squashed or vapourised in the process. Along the way, my Sackgirl collected items hidden around the platform - items of clothing, hair etc., stickers (which you can actually stick onto surfaces, resizing and re-orientating so that the sticker fits exactly...) Little Sackgirl jumped, ran, pushed, pulled, swung and flew (using an airpack - neat!).
All the while I was thinking 'Yes, but when will I get to the GAME?'
And finally the penny dropped - this WAS the game! The game is all about investigating platforms (in-game platforms and online platforms) and finding all the things hidden there so that I can then build my own platform and hide things on it for other people to find when I join other players online!!!!!
This is considerably more fun than it sounds! No, really, it is...
I am surprised that this is a platform - it would have been a lot more fun if I could have investigated a more 3D world, but I guess that may one day come. My Sackgirl can move left and right, and a little forward and backwards, but it is in the manner of Sonic...
Sackgirl feels a bit awkward at times: she doesn't always do what I expected her to do - a bit floaty or heavy in her responses and so I got squished a few times because she didn't get out of the way fast enough. But I am now eager to build my own platform and get out there and see what other people have created. A great way to pass a few hours, and children and adults alike will love it! I can see it being a storm over Christmas!!
I gave it 5 stars for 'Fun, and 4 stars for overall rating because of the Sackgirl's frustrating movements at times (although I guess I'll get used to them...)
