this is an awesome reinvention of standard platform games!

the PS3 suffers from a lack of non-violent/non-competitive gaming -when I bought the PS3 I expected to find heaps of titles online that filled the need for chill-out, relaxing, family-friendly fun. there are a a sizeable handful of cutesy cartoon style games but they all lack a user-friendly interface and most of them are basically fight/blowup/shoot/destroy/crush/kill-type of mindless aggression -I'm certainly not opposed to that, I enjoy Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty as much as the next bloke, but the core of PS3 games are not age-appropriate for kids and I don't want to expose them to needless aggression. Sony has a clear conflict here as I see it, on one hand blocking/censoring any suggestively 'adult' content from their titles; on the other, they allow any amount or form of extreme bloodlust.

furthermore, most of the available titles are too cumbersome for an occasional or younger player to enjoy -the controls need to be as simple as possible, and playable in a basic sense using only two or three buttons/controls -this is where the animated movie videogame tie-ins falls completely flat, while the movies are suited to anyone over the age of 3, the controls on most of their companion games are suitable only for well-practiced teens.

on that point while it comes very close, Little Big Planet is not 'perfectly' suited to 'all ages' -it does take some time to master for little kids, but the creative side of it and the appeal of the characters draws them in long enough to learn and love it (I can't help wonder if Stephen Fry's introductory voiceover helped too -we'd like to hear more of that in the game).

this game has long been a top selling title, and there are now countless add-ons available should you wish to extend this -the only real difference between the $40 version and the $60-100 versions are the included addons. there is more than enough in the standard version of the game to keep you enthralled for many moons, and you can easily add to it later, (or even make your own levels, if you're so inclined).

suited to young and old, great music, lovely 3D graphics (albeit in a 2D view), limitless possibility, and you're sure to love it no matter if you're a veteran gamer or have never played videogames before.

Guys, be aware that this LBP is the PAL version which means that it will work in your PS3 but all the content purchased in the American PSN Store WON'T.

My review is below, but the game is over-priced from thsi seller unless you really want the europe boxart, go get the GOTY edition

I play a lot of games... probably too many. Although I come back to several games every now and then for nostalgia I am sure I will be playing this game regularly for as long as I play video games. Not only is the single player game great but the community makes this game infinitely playable with a constantly evolving catalog of levels.

But the best thing about this game is that you don't have to love video games to love this game. I recently played it with my brother who just got back from Germany and he absolutely loved it. Keep in mind my brother declared all video games a "massive waste of time" and "totally stupid" somewhere during his sophomore year of college, right after he met his future wife...hmmm. Anyway, he couldn't help but have a blast playing this game! HE could barely contain his laughter and hes 27 and just got out of the Army.

Meanwhile this game offers a lot of challenge for skilled players, especially veteran platformer-players who have been looking for a new style of play in an old genre. Some of the player-created levels are so hard they border on impossible, and that's the best part... you know it before you even play it, you can find the level that is perfect for you... easy and goofy or wicked hard but rewarding (getting the high score on one of those harder levels is very satisfying)

When I am no playing harder levels or a fun easier level with my family and friends I entertain myself by simply looking up levels based on "i like ghostbusters... lets see if there are any cool levels based on it" and sure enough there are... lots of em!

Despite a rather robust game collection I keep coming back to this one again and again! It's basically the perfect game for everyone thanks to the level creater. Did I mention how fun it is to make your own levels? When you get this great game try mine called Little Big Galaxy (my PSN is Sharpshell)although I warn you its on the harder side.

The single player itself is an amazing game with or without the online community. The Developers chose to invent there own style for the game mechanics which work well in the game rather than simply make a Mario clone. It offers a lot of ability to master the game. And for those who like the specs let me reassure you that:

Graffix: 5/5

Sound: 6/5 (honestly the sound in this game is beyond top notch, and Stephen Fry is hilarious)

Gameplay: 5/5

Multiplayer: 5/5

I can't really say anymore when all you need to do is order this game! You love this game unless you either

a)hate all video games or

b)can't enjoy yourself unless your slaughtering thousands of people and even if that's your thing keep and open mind and you'll find some levels perfect for youI suggest the Resident Evil inspired levels)

Tenia mucho tiempo que no jugaba un juego como este es perfecto para todo tipo de gustos tanto si eres jugador o no creo que sony ha dado en el clavo del asunto con juegos como este ojala que siga en aumento juegos como este de parte de SONY.

La integracion de este juego con los jugadores es muy buena, es super divertido y le encantara a cualquiera que aprecie los juegos de calidad, no importa la edad que tengas.

Creo que este juego es una joya que todo jugador o no jugador debe tener.

Estoy estremadamente satisfecho y feliz con este juego...
