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. LittleBigPlanet 2 is a blast to play, and that's without the thousands of cool levels people are about to start posting.

Isaac Clarke of Dead Space fame has appeared in many games, both as a playable character and an Easter Egg. Have you played them all?
From Xfire: "For a company with a three-decade-long history in gaming, Sony has done a crappy job at preserving its legacy. "
All the mgs games, all the ape escapes, silent hill 1-4, croc 1 and 2, legend of dragoon, tekken 3,tenshu, bushido blade, vagrant story, okami, ico, crash bash, gt4.

Folklore. It was such a unique and beautiful game. Great soundtrack. I still have my PS3 copy
Infamous 1 & 2 probably will get remaster for PS5/4 at some point as for the others in that article idk
Classic LittleBigPlanet servers are to be shut down permanently following hacks.
Sony’s drastic move comes after months of downtime for the older games.
It was fun while it lasted. And some of the user created stuff was a blast to play with.
Have to say I expected them to be permanently shut down problem would be in the underlying server architecture and possibly something like a depricated authentication protocol which has to be replaced that the PS3, PSP and vita can't support which is why they can't be securely restored on those consoles but the PS4 does support it.so lbp3 was restored on that.
Given the attackers were able to breach the server there was obviously a fear of lateral movement once inside their servers so I can't blame them for this and it makes sense despite the huge blow to the community millions of hours spent building that community.
Despite this blow I believe the millions of creations are going to be available via lbp3 and it's capability of backwards compatibility with user generated content so that's something to be thankful for still not a huge consolation to the many players who only own a older console but unfortunately that's the world we live in these games are old the older they get the more insecure the servers get which the company that make them.host them on and the more likely they need to be shut down.
Understandable they had to do this better to be safe then sorry. I just wish those right wing racists that hacked the servers and started posting homophobic slurs would get want they deserve a good few decades in prison.
a solid score, but you would think they would give above 9 given how they praise
They admit its deeper than lbp 1 and you can adjust the floatiness of the jumps yet give it a lower score...?
I guess it only got lower than the first because the first was so original and LBP2 just builds on it rather than taking it to a whole different level, like full 3D.
Good Score. I was expecting it to be higher though. I have one complain from this review, why on earth is "Creation Woes" a negative? I thought the create mode is more simpler(Well, creating a level anyway, but he said it himself) compared to the first one. If he has problems from create mode in LBP2 because it is hard to understand, Greg must have banged his head on a desk several times while creating something on LBP1 because it is more complicated(Tutorial wise, I haven't got the game so i might be wrong).
IGN gave 9's to Donkey Kong Country Returns and Kirby's Epic Yarn. I knew they where bias. I can only hope Sony can get past this hatred.
