So if you start up this and can’t find something to do, I really don’t know what to tell you. The backward compatibility also extends to the Community section, as you can play every fan-made level from the first two games in this one. Or, if you aren’t new to the series, it will automatically pull in items from the previous entries for you to play with. You can use the items and materials you collect in the story to make your own stuff. Players looking for a quick fix can scoot over to the Community section and play levels that other people built, or they can work on their own creations.Īnd it’s in the Create area that the real breadth of LittleBigPlanet 3’s content becomes visible. If you don’t want that, the game also includes 14 standalone puzzle levels that also give you a basic rundown on how the level-creation system works. Laurie plays Newton, a hapless creator who is this game’s version of Portal 2 villain Wheatley.

If you want a story, it has a 10-12 hour Adventure Mode full of levels to complete, items to find, and new abilities to unlock, along with a great performance from narrator Stephen Fry’s old comedy partner, Hugh Laurie. You’re not going to run out of things to do in LittleBigPlanet 3 any time soon. And that giant, blank screen will probably scare off a lot of would-be level designers, but even they are all set because. The new, item-wheel-like “Sackpocket” lets players carry multiple items at the same time, and the “Organisertron” enables for an open-world mission structure with players tracking several open tasks (e.g., main story and side quests) simultaneously.Īll of these options and features make Create Mode sound really intimidating, and sure, it will take a lot of fine-tuning and fiddly work before you have something you’d let other people play, but it offers you plenty of help along the way by introducing you to the basic concepts to get you started. Other features that open up a ton of possibilities include support of up to six levels arranged around a single hub world, which means that you can effectively create complete games with multiple stages in LittleBigPlanet 3. The different characters effectively mix up the gameplay, and more important give creators a lot more options when they’re designing their masterpieces. Finally, Swoop is a bird and can fly over hazards and through winding passageways that the other characters can’t.

Toggle is a brute who can move heavy objects, break glass objects, and weigh down platforms, and he can also turn into a much smaller version who fits through tiny spaces and can run along the surface of water. You also have Oddsock, a quadrupedal creature who can run faster, leap higher, and jump between walls like a puppy ninja. The biggest new feature this time around is your ability to control characters other than Sackboy/Sackgirl, each of which has its own special abilities. It is simple, effortless, and infectious, and it really just wants you to be happy.


LittleBigPlanet has always looked a bit odd next to other big releases with their brooding antiheroes, big-ass guns, and exploding helicopters packed with brooding antiheroes and big-ass guns.īut I’m fine with that because it’s always been nice to know that in the middle of all of those bleak and cynical blockbusters, a game exists that lets you change a small yarn-person’s expressions and move their arms around for no reason other than that it’s fun to do.Īfter too much time playing games that are all about punching/stabbing/shooting everyone between Map Points A and B for revenge/fun/frontier justice, games like LittleBigPlanet that celebrate creativity, sharing, and just plain happiness provide a welcome escape from the more brutal escapist entertainment that lines the shelves of your local big-box.Īnd it does it all with some elementary school-level construction materials and a little stuffed guy whose smile is as big as his comically oversized head.
