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.

A Total Shambles
I find that the thinking behind this game is the "Loco Roco Concept" of trying to create a simple easy to pick-up-and-play game. Sony achieved this accolade, if you wish, with the game Loco Roco which did not have great graphics but was still a HUGE success, especially in Japan and other asian places. However, Little Big Planet does not due to its total lack of creativeness which makes it appear to be an attempt to create a new and improved more "shiny" Loco Roco but instead fail miserably.

I was looking forward to playing and enjoying this game but have been deeply dissapointed by Sony and MM in this product. Do not purchase the game as it is not worth any more than a few mere pennies.

this is what we have been missing
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.

Fantastic
Extremely quirky and original, just what I wanted to play after so many "serious" video games! A breath of fresh air to play...
