LittleBigPlanet 2

LittleBigPlanet 2 is and extremely addictive game that is based off of the creations of other players.

Graphics:

The graphics in LittleBigPlanet 2 aren't anything special, but it is a nice change of pace from the whole must look real graphics. Levels in single player range from a queen's bakery to a spaceship. However, even though the enviorments are different in the big picture they are greatly similar in level view. Now, community based levels are where the greatest variety of levels stem from. Many people have created levels that are greatly diverse in colors as well as the lighting of the levels.

Gameplay:

The gameplay is a simple get the scoreboard, or finish line, in the the fastest time possible. To do this you must jump, finangle, and finese your way across platforms and traps. However, the best way to play LittleBigPlanet 2 is by downloading communtiy created maps and game types. These can range anywhere from Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots, to asteroids, and even running away from a shark. All in all the gameplay is what makes this game so great. However, the gameplay is much better when you are playing with multiple players expecially with friends.

Story:

The single player story of this game is actually quite entertaining as well as being decently funny. So the basic story is that the Negativitron is stealing all happiness on LittleBigPlanet and you must help the Alliance in creating any army to fight and destroy the Negativitron. Thats about as much information as there is to give.

Sound:

The sound of the gamee is pretty decent, but the sound track is what makes the game what it is. Though not the best there is always a decent beat playing, and helps make the game more enjoyable. The characters during cut scenes sound great, but once it comes to gameplay the only make like grunts instead of words.

Multiplayer:

There is many race and multiplayer game types, however no are all that much fun. The best game type, I found, was the basketball game type that community created. Beyond map making, and playing with other players there is not much the multiplayer in LittleBigPlanet 2.

Overall:

The game is worth a definet buy, but if you really are on the fence about this game obviously rent it first.
