A Game World Without Limits
Imagine a platformer gameworld that's yours to shape, build and explore. Imagine the possibilities, then jump head first into the reality. LittleBigPlanet puts the power of absolute creation into your own hands. If you can see it, you can enhance it. If you can't see it, you can invent it. The LittleBigPlanet experience starts with players learning about their character's powers to interact physically with the environment. There are places to explore, creative resources to collect and puzzles to solve - all requiring a combination of brains and collaborative teamwork. As soon as players begin, their creative skills will grow and they will soon be ready to start creating and modifying their surroundings - the first step to sharing them with the whole community.

Characters have the power to move anything in this glued and stitched-together 3D landscape; they have the power to design, shape and build both objects and entire locations for others to view and play. There's no complicated level editor; all of these skills can be learned by simply playing the game. Creativity is part of the game play experience and playing is part of the creative experience. Fathom out ways to overcome tricky obstacles as you interact with the surrounding environment, or compose inspirational locations and objects that are totally unique to you. Immerse yourself in an organic world that's just waiting to be personalized. Players can make their world as open or as secretive to explore as they like. When it's ready, they can invite anyone within the LittleBigPlanet community to come and explore their patch - or can go and explore everybody else's.

Key Game Features

  • Meet Sackboy, an iconic new character that you can customize to reflect your own personality.
  • Dive into a brand new gaming genre that unleashes the creativity in everyone.
  • Explore over 50 awesome levels which will inspire and teach you the skills to build your own content.
  • Share your creations and enjoy access to unlimited content - a new experience is waiting to happen every single time you go online.
  • There's not just one way to play. Players craft their own individual experience based on their own creativity.
  • Unlimited possibilities for user-created content - players can customize everything: their characters, the landscape around them and their own patch on LittleBigPlanet.
  • Online and off-line. multiplayer modes supporting up to 4 players mean that you never have to play alone. Modes include cooperative and competitive play options.
  • LittleBigPlanet global community for players to get involved with: includes player comments, rankings and easy communication with new and existing friends
  • Additional Game of the Year Edition features include:
    • Collect over 500 objects, stickers, tools and costumes as resources for your own levels.
    • Over 1 Million User Generated Levels to play.
    • 18 New Bonus Levels designed by actual LBP Community Members.
    • Free Costume and Level Packs including the Metal Gear Solid Level Pack.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Own Exclusive PS3 Game!, October 21, 2009
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
From all the reviews I've read before purchasing this game I was a little skeptical that it wouldn't be for me. I was wrong. Matter fact I purchased it for my 5 year old boy first, just to keep him away from some of my other games while I'm at work. And you know what? This game stays in the PS3 all day. Not only that, when I get home from work the first thing he wants to do is play Little BIG planet. Its fun for me and him. I was hoping for simplified controls like a Mario plat former with just a jump button. But he's figured out how to use the Dual Shock 3 just as good as me. With the main buttons, X to jump and R1 to grab things, it couldn't be any easier. He also knows how to change their clothes and apply stickers and so on. This game is simple, plain and easy. The only problem he may have is figuring out that the game has some physics involved. Running faster to get further jumps, holding the jump button longer, how to jump on springs like objects to get higher takes a little timing that I even have trouble with. This game has plenty of levels, I play maybe an hour a day since I bought it and still have not finished everything. You can also make your own levels, download levels that others have created online, and play with people online. This game has infinite replay if you get into the community. Also, If you want to teach a child how to be greedy with items than this game is for you. I forgot to say that this game is fun for me too. Glad purchased it and you'll be too. One if the few must own exclusives for the PS3, this is coming from a 360 lover.

5.0 out of 5 stars Play, Create, Share - a lot more, October 6, 2009
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
BRIEF OUTLINE OF THE GOTY EDITION

Play, Create, Share - that's the LBP motto and, unlike most marketing empty slogans, Little Big Planet is more than up to the promise.

The Game of the Year edition includes all the paid content made available online since the initial release and more - see below:

- 18 user-created levels developed especially for the GOTY, good but not always up to the polish level of the professional levels
- 3 sticker packs - some paid for these to download, include here
- 16 new costumes - see above
- the complete Metal Gear Solid set of levels that includes trophy levels and never-seen-before weapons such as the Paintinator
- the key to access the online beta of ModNation Racers (after December 3, I believe)

All of this on top of what turned out to be an already incredible game that stimulates creativity, cooperation, curiosity and celebrates the players themselves, proud creators of over one million levels, published and accessible by all. I don't play the game so much but, when it comes to the kids, this is by far their number one game and they have quite a few to choose from already. They are proud of their creations and they seem to have what seems to be endless fun playing other people's levels online.



REVIEW

Since this is about the GOTY, I will not write a full review of the game itself. I understand that many are new to the Little Big Planet universe but, it turns out, great reviews of the original game have been written by others so simply click on LittleBigPlanet to get an idea of what the game is about. Suffice it to say here that LPB takes advantage of just about every feature and peripheral that the PS3 has or supports and its online interaction is simply unparalleled. For example, you can go to a friend's profile and not only play his or her levels but see what other players levels your buddy liked and get to try those out. Or, you can create some awesome weapons. You can include that weapon inside the prize bubble of a level you create and whomever plays your level can earn the object that you created and use it somewhere else - the fun is endless.



PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

Play, Create, Share - and, in our case, a lot more. I am not only a (casual) LBP player but also a parent and, to my delight and unlike what 'some' claim, this game has, in fact, made better, smarter kids. And I'm talking about my two boys. They took the 'create' part quite seriously and, after staging duels with custom-made awesome weapons, they began working on their own levels and, to my surprise, they actually asked me to help them learn computer programming - which we are doing now. And their grades have actually improved - the reason they are getting the GOTY is because they've done well in school so far this year.



EVALUATION AND RATING

If the 'regular' edition was a 5-star in my book, then add 50% to the initial evaluation. It's a definite 'must have'.

For anyone who doesn't own the original LBP, the GOTY is without a doubt the way to go. For owners of the original edition... I don't know if everybody does this but we were able to sell our 'used' (it was in mint condition, actually) copy of LBP for about half of the original price and we used the earnings to partially finance the purchase of the GOTY.

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome game; not sure GOTY worth it, September 12, 2009
By Geek Chick (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
The only time I'd played this game was the downloadable trial. Loved the fun, smart platforming action and stupidly cute customizable options. I bought the GOTY edition today and have been playing for the past few hours. LBP is a crazy-fun game, however the downloadable content you get for free with the GOTY edition? I don't think it's worth whatever you'd save buying the original game used. Most of the user-created levels (and consider that these are the best of the user-created levels) aren't great and don't hold a candle to the professional-designed courses. Wish I'd bought the original version used. Pay heed to my cautionary tale; buy the older version used unless you're kind of a fanatic about costumes--you get (I think? I didn't count) 8 costumes free with the GOTY edition. If anyone has a reason that the GOTY edition is indeed better, I'd love to hear it since I've got a copy!
