We can’t wait to see what LittleBigPlanet 2 has evolved into in a month or three, when we can truly measure the impact that these tools will have had on an already ultra-creative community. We predict that it’s going to be like setting off an atomic bomb. LittleBigPlanet 2 will see an explosion of hobbyist game creation that could – in an even bigger way this time – send shockwaves around the industry. Duck and cover people, Sackboy is back. And in a world obsessed with identikit sequels, that is something worth believing in.

Little Big Planet 2 is another name for creativity and imagination. What Media Molecule has created here is a beast, you can go on and on with your imagination and your creativity to point that your brain may get tired but the scope of Little Big Planet 2 wont. I was a bit sceptical on how Sony and Media Molecule will improve on the original. I got my answer after playing the thing. Little Big Planet 2 is a kind of a game that you should simply experience once in your life. If you don’t have a PlayStation 3, go to your buddy’s home and play with him/her. And if they don’t have a PS3 than buy it for one of the decade’s most innovative game ever. Is it possible to give this game an 11? If yes, than this is the game that will be eligible for that.

Sackboy’s triumphant return packs the same engrossing brand of innovation and ingenuity that made its pioneering predecessor our Game of the Year for 2008. An expanded scale and a whole new treasure chest of tools and toys to conceptualize and create with help this stellar sequel more than live up to its hype.

It’s a refreshing reminder that these kinds of games, while extremely rare, are still being made by developers who are as passionate as — and much, much smarter than — the rest of us.

This is undoubtedly a community-driven game, and on that front it will provide limitless sharing of ideas and a meeting-of-the-minds that’s all too rare in this industry. But because of that community factor, LBP2 will mean something different to each person who picks up the controller.

Adding so much as to be a little intimidating at first, LBP2 brings a slew of impressive new creator features, while still offering plenty of cool new things for those who just want to play. The basic, flawed platforming of the original is still there, but compared to the possibilities LBP2 opens up, it’s insignificant.

LittleBigPlanet 2 is the first must-own PlayStation 3 game of 2011. It’s even more enjoyable than the first game (if that’s even possible), has a tremendous built-in community behind it, and is just a really fun experience no matter what part of the "Play, Create, Share" concept you prefer. Prepare to smile.

The story mode is a fresh and dynamic experience, but it really serves to spark ideas in the player – since everything was designed with the tools in Create mode, it’s a subtle push to go in and try your hand at the master controls.

LittleBigPlanet 2 is a special game that entertains effectively, and does nothing less. Playing together with friends, and enjoying the unrestrained power of man’s creativity is a sight to behold. LittleBigPlanet 2 has good flavor, and charms in the most memorable of ways. It’s fun, will outlast this generation with content, and houses the most accessible editing tools on the market. If there’s one game that can make a bad day good, Sackboy and his latest venture with LittleBigPlanet 2 is it.

LittleBigPlanet 2 is everything I’d hoped it would be. Every new inclusion improves the way the game plays tremendously, and with the ability to create more than just an endless array of side-scrolling levels, there’s more reason than ever to learn the intricacies of level creation.

This is a platinum that you’re going to have to work for. At the time of this rating it doesn’t seem as though anyone has gotten it yet, and for good reason. Some of the trophies are simple enough (beating levels, playing after 9 P.M. or before 9 A.M.) yet others will push you to the brink (acing every level, acing ten unique levels in a row, making a level that will be played and hearted enough). Another trophy requires you to get in the top 25% in a level, and as the community grows this will be a toughie. I suggest for this one that you focus on acing a boss battle and landing every hit, because those won’t require the multiplier from the prize bubbles. Sure, the "Share" portion can be boosted but what’s the fun in that? Platinum Difficulty: Hard, because there’s no way to dodge out on the aces. You either do it, or you don’t. If you’re creative and patient enough, however, this will be one that is worth working towards.

LBP1 virtuosos will find plenty here to justify a purchase, if they can tear themselves away from the now-established classic they’ve invested such time in. But for those who harboured a wealth of affection – if not expertise – for Media Molecule’s first game, LittleBigPlanet 2 truly offers a whole new world of opportunity.

LittleBigPlanet 2 is an impressive title. It’s jammed packed full of charm, humour, wit and fun. It looks great, it sounds great and it feels great. If puzzle platformers are your thing you owe it to yourself to check this title out. If they aren’t you owe it to yourself to at least give it a try – because LittleBigPlanet 2 might just be the polished and engaging title that changes your mind

LittleBigPlanet 2 may be a single-player game, but the heart is in its creation features and the possibility of user-created levels. The single-player mode shows you the many possibilities and gives plenty of food for thought. The early created levels are already exceptional, and they’re sure to grow more so as people master LBP 2’s multitude of new features. It’s easy to write off LBP 2 as overpriced DLC, but it is a replacement for the original, since it takes everything that made LittleBigPlanet good and fixes most of the flaws. It’s a rare example of a sequel that completely eclipses the original. LBP 2’s true worth won’t become apparent for many months yet, but even if you pick it up today, the addictive level creation tools and endless amount of developer- and player-created levels make the game well worth your money.

Perhaps most important, however, is that the tools you use for creating stuff in LBP2, from levels to individual devices, are extremely easy to understand and utilize. Originally, there had been rumors that LBP2 would need keyboard-and-mouse support in order to accommodate all the complexity in its design engine, but Sony nixed that idea — and with good reason. You can do just about anything you want with the Sixaxis controller, and it’s wonderfully easy to place objects, alter control schemes, and make small modifications, thanks to the smart interface and precise controls.

There’s no denying that LittleBigPlanet 2 is an amazing game. It’s fun, clever, deep, engaging and great to try out with friends. The only issue is that some of the same frustrations from the last game are still present. Still, the ability to make games and not just levels outweighs any con. Even if you just want to play and never create, the fight to Ace every level, find every prize and earn every pin is going to keep you very busy — and that’s overlooking the simple fact of how much fun it is to ping-pong off a column of jump pads or use a grappling hook to swing around a level.

Even if you have no interest in creating levels yourself, LittleBigPlanet 2 merits its existence, not only because of the potential novelties its users will create with the vastly improved toolset, but also for the stronger, more refined single-player campaign. Strip away the relentless good looks and the generous open-source playpen, and the bare, underlying platformer’s shortcomings may hold it back from classic status. But as a package, as a concept, as an unfinished story, LittleBigPlanet 2 is a world apart.

There’s a wealth of entertainment to be had with LittleBigPlanet 2 – it’s a game like no other and with no equal in terms of the flexibility it offers to gamers. It boils down to this: if you liked the first game and want more, get the second – it’s bigger and better in every way and absolutely deserves a place in your PS3.

Sackboy remains Sackboy, and he won’t convert those who didn’t like the way he behaved in LBP. And for all the fascinating flexibility of its toolset, clearly this is still a framework: you can stamp a creation with your own style, but the overall vibe will ultimately be Media Molecule’s. For those who are happy to embrace it, though, LBP2 represents a dazzling new opportunity for creating deep, diverse and ingenious play.

Presentation is again top-notch with some spruced up visuals and music. The level designs are absolutely amazing and seeing some of the creations come to life is amazing. The simple yet sophisticated design of the game is one of its most appealing features. The frame rate is solid and there is so much happening that at times it is hard to appreciate it all. The music is as catchy and pleasant as the original and the ability to create your own music and voice work is absolutely amazing. The entire package is simply delightful on so many levels.

It’s tempting to tip-toe around specifics, fearful that any nits you might pick out of the dreamily done-up, artsy-crafty firmament are, in fact, evidence only of your own hack-handedness as a builder of worlds, to be rebuffed by more skilled design deities in the weeks and months to come. I can hear the quibbles already. “The writer clearly hasn’t realised that holding the action button when you place an object takes you straight to the Tweak menuâ€. “I can’t believe you haven’t talked about dark matter.†And most damningly of all: “You’re complaining about the jump physics?

It’s amusing and playful but Little Big Planet 2’s clunky controls still ruin what could have been a wonderfully whimsical experience. Catered more to the creator than the platformer, Sack Boy is still a delight to play with.

The flaws of the first game are preserved and plain to see, and now that the freshness of the previous title is lacking, the problems are that much more glaring. For all its new gimmicks and flashing lights, LittleBigPlanet 2 can still be best described as a great way to make substandard games. It’s fun and it’s cute and it’s something PS3 fans should check out, but it’s relying on a concept that was brilliant two years ago, and just isn’t enough anymore to catapult the game into true greatness.
