LittleBigPlanet is a great game, enjoyable even by people who don’t normally like video games. It is classified as a “puzzle platformer”, meaning each level is a puzzle to solve (what to do next isn’t always obvious) and it is a platformer, meaning you jump to and from suspended platforms or over obstacles etc. Personally I didn’t care much for the puzzle aspect, and for people like me there are videos of each level at YouTube, which I watched when I got stuck.
The scenes in this game are beautiful, the music is wonderful, and the physics is mostly realistic, and the overall beauty and experience offered by this game reminds me of the “It’s a small world” ride at Disneyland. The game is enjoyable by kids and adults alike, and the whole family can play together if you have more than one controller.
There are 25 awesome levels (there are eight “Creator Curators”, and there are three levels per Creator Curator except the last which has four, adding up to 25). The description of this game says there are 50 levels, but that is probably counting the mini levels (mostly useless) and the included user-created levels. I didn’t like the user-created levels — some of them are playable, but they didn’t have the Disney-esque experience of the levels created by the game makers themselves.
One thing I didn’t like about the game is that the depiction of USA in this game isn’t that great. A construction site, a car wrecking yard, people speaking in ungrammatical English etc. LittleBigPlanet was made by a UK company.

I purchased this for my 6-yr-old son, my entire family is addicted to it and we have given the bug to another family. Fun on all levels, challenging as well.

This game is great fun. It’s cute and silly and a nice way to spend an evening. I love first person shooters, horror, and other kinds of games like that, but I also do enjoy creative games like this when I just want to relax and not kill things
Very highly recommend it for people of all ages.

Amazing. I play it sometimes with my 9 year old sister, and we have tons of laughs. Only thing I don’t like is the camera position when more than one person is playing the game on the same console. I have a tiny t.v. so it’s hard to see where I’m at when it zooms out. Other than that, great game, I recommend it for families.

Undoubtedly one of the best titles you’ll come across on the PS3, Little Big Planet is one of those games that comes around every once in a blue moon that is just pure, unadulturated fun. Re-released in this Game of the Year Edition, which packs in a slew of downloadable content to go along with the original game itself, Little Big Planet is now even more fun than it was when it was first released last year, and still brimming with whimsical, platforming goodness. If you already own Little Big Planet and purchased any or all of the downloadable content from Playstation Network, then there isn’t any reason to pick up this Game of the Year Edition, but if you missed out on Little Big Planet the first time around, then by all means pick this game up. It remains one of the best, exclusive titles you can find on the PS3, and is an absolute must own for any and every PS3 owner.
