GamePro: LittleBigPlanet 2 Review

Even if you decide you don't have the time and patience to build a lasting masterpiece -- and make no mistake, even here game development takes an inordinate amount of both -- you could spend weeks just playing, rating, and commenting on the efforts of others. Whether you're looking for a solo diversion or online camaraderie, personal expression, or community inclusion, there's just no good reason whatsoever not to dive in and explore the many wild worlds of LittleBigPlanet 2.

ksense4892d ago

great start for lbp2!!

HolyOrangeCows4892d ago (Edited 4892d ago )

Great Start for 2011.

Great Start for me.

Great start for the PS3's 2011.

"failed to capture mario feel"
Please feel free to GTFO.

SCThor4892d ago

Bad start for my wallet :(

Kithara124892d ago

Disagree with the score.

I have the game early, played the beta and demo. I am disappointed honestly. The floaty feel and childish gimmicks LBP gives doesn't appeal to me as a hardcore gamer.

I don't understand the hype. But like all PS3 exclusives, the fanboys overhype it all.

My review would be a 7.3
- Floaty
- Short
- To many bugs
- failed to capture mario feel.

A change in the wind4892d ago

Lol. I`m sensing a lot of butthurt coming from this post.

Kakihara4892d ago

Haha, you sad little bastard. Who actually does shit like this?? Who actually goes to the trouble???

jack_burt0n4892d ago

Wow looks like N4G has been infected with idiots over the holiday break, the fact you got 8 agrees is a warning sign.

Its ok help is at hand, non stop LBP2 reviews with a dose of actual gaming PS3 news, and anticipation for new quality games will put it right and PS3 news stories wall to wall on the front page.

Gambit074892d ago

LBP has a meta of 95, the game has many fans, more fans = more hype, what's so hard to understand?

grailly4892d ago

you, as a hardcore gamer, and your Sims3 avatar...lol

Another perfect score? Uncharted 2 needs to look out. I thought Naughty Gods and Guerilla Games were competing for the top spot, looks like Media Molecule is Media MoleSCHOOLING their Sony brethren. I love it. Preordered and shipping soon. See you in the POD!!!!

@Below
Uncharted 2 set the standard. Killzone 3 wants to crush it, but LBP2 is beating them to the crush. Uncharted 3 will reset the standard, even though there are 10 other amazing games coming. I just love how each internal Sony dev uses each other and competes for the best experience. It is a healthy competition that drives Sony greatness and why I am a big supported of Playstation.

mike90774892d ago

You mean U3? Media molecule are good devs but not better than naughty dog.

ad4mb4892d ago

I personaly think they are as good, if not better. But thats because lbp is one of my favorite games of all time.

nix4892d ago

i'm more surprised that big sites so far are giving higher scores than smaller sites. 9 is being considered lowest so far. can't wait!

OllieBoy4892d ago

Wish I can fast-forward to 2 weeks from now.

MintBerryCrunch4892d ago

the one review i was looking forward to the most...they seemed to have A LOT of fun with it....can't wait :D

Older PlayStation games that we'd love to see on the PlayStation 5

From Xfire: "For a company with a three-decade-long history in gaming, Sony has done a crappy job at preserving its legacy. "

Flawlessmic759d ago (Edited 759d ago )

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.

Welshy758d ago

MGS, Silent Hill etc are no brainers, but you earned my thumbs up for our boi Croc. I talk about him all the time, it's an honour to find another man of culture.

Flawlessmic758d ago (Edited 758d ago )

Hahaha yea was one of my very first games i owned on ps1 as a child, great memories!!

Love to hear there other people out there that enjoyed the gem of a game that is croc 👌

RedDevils758d ago (Edited 758d ago )

Okami has HD version already. I want those Sly games though since PS3 and vita had it.

Flawlessmic758d ago

Yea sly would be cool, i never got into those so would be a good opportunity for me to do so.

But yea theres so many games in sony catalogue we coukd be here all day listing titles.

Hopefully we all get the ganes we are hoping for.

outsider1624759d ago

Tenchu 1 and 2
Socom 1 and 2
MGS 1-3
MGS4
ICO

seanpitt23759d ago

RDR2 for me they can boost that up to 60fps with better graphic settings than last gen

Luc20759d ago

Folklore. It was such a unique and beautiful game. Great soundtrack. I still have my PS3 copy

The_Hooligan759d ago

YES please! Also I would love to see Warhawk come back. Such an awesome game.

moriarty1889759d ago

The Resistance and a killzone series for me.

Bigman4k759d ago (Edited 759d ago )

An update on the LittleBigPlanet server and online services

Classic LittleBigPlanet servers are to be shut down permanently following hacks.
Sony’s drastic move comes after months of downtime for the older games.

darthv72987d ago

It was fun while it lasted. And some of the user created stuff was a blast to play with.

Snookies12987d ago

Whaaa-? That's crazy. Didn't expect it to be permanently shut down...

Teflon02986d ago

It's still up on PS4, they just shut down the PS3 end because hackers on PS3 can't be stopped and go on the game making announcements that can't be avoided without having to go back to all the old game codes and updating to remove the feature etc. It's one of those sad and garbage things where hackers ruined a good thing. I'm mostly sad about the Vita, I'm not sure if I have my music stages saved to my Vita, meaning they're gone forever if I didn't save them back to it. They were good too :(

Profchaos986d ago (Edited 986d ago )

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.

MadLad986d ago (Edited 986d ago )

Feel bad for the people who dedicated so much time into this game.

Battlestar23986d ago

Nice edit to your troll comment.

MadLad986d ago (Edited 986d ago )

I reread the article, and changed it, to be as honest on the topic as possible.
Let's be real, it was an easy reaction to have considering their actions of late.

CaptainHenry916986d ago (Edited 986d ago )

He's been on a roll and it's comical 😁

RedDevils986d ago

This guy love stealth troll on playstation article as I see the pattern, but he doesn't want to admit that he's a MS fanboy.

Christopher986d ago

I am also sorry people enjoyed the online aspects of the game?

The man who earned a job by playing LittleBigPlanet
By GamesRadar Staff March 03, 2015
***“We've hired four people from the LBP community" reveals Alex Evans, co-founder of UK studio Media Molecule and creator of LittleBigPlanet. Including one lucky soul who dodged death to get a job on LBP2. Enter John Beech, or 'johnee' to his PSN friends. Two years ago John was a builder with absolutely no qualifications to speak of. But now? He's a full time designer at Media Molecule working on LittleBigPlanet 2, one of the most anticipated titles on PlayStation 3. This is his story.***

of course there is.. He was stealth trolling stating all LBP contributors wasted their time making levels for LBP... I pointed out that some of the contributors for LBP + Dreams have actually got JOBs because of the CREATIVE console. Just like Gran Turismo fans

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.

Profchaos986d ago (Edited 986d ago )

That's the thing I guess if it wasn't them it would just be someone else and we would still be in this position regardless of their intent.

darthv72986d ago

What are you going on about?
