Create and Play Boundlessly!LittleBigPlanet is a wondrous game where you play as a unique "Sackboy" with special powers, as he tromps through different levels! Sounds like an interesting formula for a video game? It is! Let's get straight into this review!
Graphics: 7 /10
Although at first the graphics won't seem too great, they are what you make of them. You see, the better you are at creating objects in your own world, the better the graphics can be. You can start with a blank canvas and turn it into a burning forest, or a fancy palace. Or, the graphics can be really bad if you can't build. The story's graphics, however, are charming and wonderful all the way through to the end. All in all, 7 of 10.
Sound: 10/10
This game has a wide variety of sound effects and music throughout the story. The game features 40 musical compositions, including music from artists The Go! and Kenneth Young. Fans of the Metal Gear Solid franchise will feel right at home with music from the MGS DLC. The MGS music includes MGS4 "The Hunted", MGS4 "The Hunter", and MGS2 "Yell "Dead Cell" (VR Remix)". These original and remastered pieces of music feel right at home throughout the game. In fact, if you grab them as prizes, you can even use your favorite music in your own personal levels and creations! The soundtrack is really great! 10/10!
Addictiveness: 10/10
It's not hard to pick this game up and play it again, even if you've beat the story. The multiplayer let's players build and create levels with their friends, and then publish them to the world! You can always stumble upon a level you haven't played yet, which means that there is always a reason to come back to this game and play it again. And again. And so on and so forth.
Story: 9/10
The story of LittleBigPlanet ends in a touching display of the meaning of friendship, and the possibilities of what you can create with friends. (No spoilers though!) However the story starts on a completely different note. The Sackboy starts on his way through the Gardens and meets the King and Queen. However, there is an evil spreading throughout the land... Residents of Craftworld are being taken by a mysterious person known only as- The Collector. Will Sackboy be able to find out why The Collector is disturbing the peace and taking Craftworlds' residents? Find out by joining him on his journey through gardens, a meerkat's home, a disturbing wedding reception, a military-like tundra, a Mexican-like town, and more.
Depth: 10/10
This game is huge. The default levels can take a long time, especially the last one, as it's somewhat challenging. After you play through these levels, you can go back to unlock all the prizes, (There are a lot. Some levels have around 50.) and "ace" all the levels. (When you ace a level, or complete it without dying, you get several more prizes.) Then, you can head online and play the hundreds of levels published by other people. There is hours of content, and probably more than a year's worth of online content. Definitely a 10/10.
Difficulty: 6/10
There are a lack of challenging levels, set aside the last one, in story. However there are some levels that other people made that are on the verge of being impossible. (It doesn't help that you don't have to finish the level to upload it.) However, there are also levels that are easier than the first story level. So, I rate difficulty a 6 of 10.
Overall: 8.7/10
I definitely recommend this game to all you creative people and artists with a Playstation 3.
