LittleBigPlanet 2

We could list the additions and improvements LittleBigPlanet 2 offers over the original. We could. But to reduce a game this broad, this inventive and this open-ended to a mere tick list would be to do it a disservice.

Overall, the developers at Media Molecule have truly outdone themselves this time, featuring a more robust creation system that expands on everything great about the first game. Though I will continue to contemplate on my inability to design a cool level for the world to see, playing through others' cleverly-crafted ones is more than enough to keep me satisfied. Whether you've got a thing for game design or want to lose yourself playing a million levels in one sitting (which I doubt is possible), LittleBigPlanet 2 is undoubtedly fun, and it's got something for just about anyone.

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 fun, more accessible sequel that entertains from start to finish with a flurry of creative new ideas.

LittleBigPlanet 2 is all what you make of it. If you weren’t completely enamored with the features of the first game, you won’t likely appreciate the additions in the sequel.
