IGN: LittleBigPlanet2 Review

FULL REVIEW

CLOSING COMMENTS

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. Even if you just want to play and never create, the fight to Ace every level, find every prize and earn every pin is going to keep you very busy -- and that's overlooking the simple fact of how much fun it is to ping-pong off a column of jump pads or use a grappling hook to swing around a level.

 

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

9.0	Presentation It's still easy to get around the interface to find new levels and jump into the story mode. Creation could be easier to use as I was frustrated here and there.
9.5	Graphics The graphics have been enhanced and look sharper than ever. The colors pop, Sackboy looks great and every world has a unique style.
9.0	Sound The soundtrack is packed with catchy beats, and the ability to add your own voice is a great addition. Creating songs via the sequencer is complicated but cool.
9.0	Gameplay The platforming's as solid as ever, but the new additions like crazy shooting games and races make it even better. Creating is deep but intimidating.
9.5	Lasting Appeal Beat the story and there are pins to unlock, prizes to find, and a whole bunch of community creations to try. Creation mode will still be love or hate for people.
9.0 OVERALL	Amazing (out of 10)
