A Whole New LittleBigPlanet Adventure
Join Sackboy in a completely new platforming adventure, spread across 50 levels.
Some time has passed since the events of the original game and its PSP sequel and Craftworld is in trouble. An evil device, force, thingy known as "The Negativitron" is threatening to suck up everyone and everything, including Sackboy, into the void. Only an intervention by a rebel organization known as "The Alliance" saves our hero. And with that Sackboy decides to lend his creative platforming powers to the cause. Along the way he'll discover new abilities, gadgets, gameplay rules and innovative tools to get the job done.

A Platform for Games
LittleBigPlanet 2 is about more than a game storyline. It is about player creativity. Loaded with a powerful new set of tools that vastly widen the scope of possibilities in-game, LittleBigPlanet 2 moves far beyond familiar level editing and delivers the power to literally create whole games. It is in fact, a platform for games. Whether you are talking racing games, mini-games, action/adventure games and even multiplayer shooters, using the Direct Control feature you can create/recreate a mapping for objects and abilities from the Sixaxis controller for use directly in gameplay. You can also link levels to extend the fun and/or create a new gameplay experience. Bring your characters to life, compose your own music, direct cinematic masterpieces, wire controllers directly in to your contraptions, connect easy to use switches, microchips and circuit boards to build epic bosses, vehicles, machines, and puzzles. All the tools are at your fingertips. And with custom heads-up displays (HUDs) for scoring and game data exported to a game ending grid, allowing winners in created multiplayer games to celebrate while opponents look on in shame, the sky is truly the limit.
Play, Create and Discover
LittleBigPlanet 2 is fully backwards compatible to the original game. With millions of creations existing in the LittleBigPlanet universe and millions more to come, finding the experience you're looking for is important. With that in mind the developers of LittleBigPlanet 2 have expanded Share functionality to enhance the player's ability to discover exactly what you want to find. In addition, the searching system has been given a total overhaul, and Activity Stream functionality has been added so you can follow your friends and hearted creators, helping you discover the top notch playable bits that they have brought to life. In addition, a new web portal gives every single LBP creation its own home on the web, with a page for every creator and every level. Browse creations online to find fab levels, add them to your queue to play later on, check photos, comments, leaderboards, create and share playlists, and easily promote your levels and games wherever you might hang out online.

5.0 out of 5 stars
LittleBigPlanet is one of the best games that the PS3 has to offer and this sequel has a lot to live up to, but it manages to not only match the magic and amazement of the first game but surpass it ten fold. Everything is better in this game. The best part is that every community level that was created in LBP1 is accessible with LittleBigPlanet 2. In improved graphics.
The graphics are better, not by a huge noticeable margin, but the improvements in lighting really make everything look perfect and the effects are a lot better. The biggest improvements are probably the powerups and the level editor. The only started out on launch week very bad, but they quickly pushed out a fix for it. You would get stuck on a loading screen indefinitely unable to do anything, the only way out of it was to either exit the game or to turn off your controller and then wait for a message to turn the controller back on before you'd be able to play awhile. Which lasted until the next level and you'd have to repeat the controller power off to just play online, it was a disaster. Luckily they fixed it quickly and now it works fine. There's still some lag here and there, but it's a lot better than the first game.
The story mode is more of a story mode than the first game, because in LBP2 it's a lot easier to tell a real story. You can create cutscenes and can even add voice overs if you want to. Which the story levels show off very well and it adds a level of interactivity that wasn't available before in LBP1. The tutorials are also a lot easier to get to, so it's easier to learn how to do things properly. Plus, there are further tutorials created by users on how they do what they do.
I think the best part of LBP2 is the possibilities. You can create all kinds of games. There are currently levels that recreate the Tower Defense, RPG, Action-Adventure, Racing, and Shooter genres. And that's just from what I've personally played. You are able to literally create games in LBP2 and with the improve tools it's a lot easier to do so. You can link together levels now as well, so if you're running low on space in a level, just add a link and keep your imagination going. You don't have to cut corners now or tell people to go to your part 2 level. You can just direct them straight to it.
It's a lot more streamlined. The bounce pads make a common seen creation in LBP1 a simple item. Which is brilliant, such a simple item can be used in so many ways. The creatinator allows you to shoot -anything- out of it. Cake, Water, Cows, Cheese, Plasma, whatever you can think of it'll shoot. The grabinator allows you to pick up and throw items. My favorite new powerup is the grapple hook, it takes some getting used to on the timing but once you get it you'll be flinging around like a pro and there's nothing more fun than swinging around quickly. [well maybe shooting some cheese]
Then there's the Sackboys, which are huge. You're able to program them in so many different ways and dress them up in any outfits that you have available. You can resize them of course. You can have them flee in terror from you, or chase you down in anger or admiration. You can have them shoot at you, you can make them fear heights or just use them to be extras in your films. :D
It's truly amazing what people are creating online. You really have got to get this game and check them out. You can visit LBP.me which lets you queue up levels that look interesting and then go to your PS3 and play them straight away. It's great.

5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the most rewarding games I ever played. Whether you want it as a creative outlet or just to play levels online with friends this game just keeps on giving.
There are literally millions of levels online and always new ones being released so you always have something new to explore with friends.
As a creator LBP2 is 100x easier to create levels, contraptions, or characters to play around with.
The only downside is that there are so many levels it's hard to find the really good ones from the bad, or as a creator for your level to get noticed which can demotivating.
It's still a gem of a game.

This is one of the BEST platform games ever! (if you are into that genre)
The Story levels are fun but can be quite the challenge trying to achieve 100%! It can get addictive trying to get all the items alone... but it isn't impossible to achieve which makes you want to strive for more. A perfect balance of challenge & humor is what makes me come back to this game.
If you don't have it, do yourself a favor and get it - you won't regret! 9/10.

I have to say that this is fun, and starts off where it left off (I think. XD). The first one is kinda dull though, but this one digs deeper from the first LBP. Read more
