Little Big Planet 3 Launch Edition - PlayStation 4

Ridiculously-Amazing
(Purchased the Plush Edition which is why it's not showing as a Verified Purchase)

Sumo Digital has taken Media Molecule's masterpiece to a whole new level. Right from the start, you can see how much brilliance they've added to this game. The challenging campaign is simply off the charts this time around, with so much going on, in every delicious layer. Trust me when I say, if you're a fan of the series your jaw will be on the floor the entire time. The new, crazy weapons, inventory-style system and quest objective list really transforms this into an grand scale adventure. Forget just platforming, wait until you see how many RPGS the community comes up with this time! Not to mention, a whole new array of shooters, puzzle, pinball, sports, and other games which will exceed anything created with the previous version (and those were superb!).
Check out the campaign maps which will remind you of moving from level to level in a Mario World game. I also love the fact that...

I absolutely love this game

I absolutely love this game. They market it like it's a kids game but it really isnt. The game is far from easy. I grew up playing Mario 1 on Nintendo and having a side scrolled type game this good at 30 years old brings a smile to my face.
This game is way better looking then the first 2. The jumping doesn't feel as floaty and going up and down on a level is a lot smoother.
I bought the game digitally for numerous reasons.
1- the community is simply amazing.
2- online there are new levels all the time
3- the best level creators can do some amazing things, the community makes this game shine
There are always new levels to play online. What you get is worth the $59.99 you spend, more so then any other game I have played.
hope everyone has fun with this game for years to come, I know I will

Tons of fun but quite a few irritating bugs
My kids love the Little Big Planet series. When I surprised my daughters with this game today, their eyes lit up like it was Christmas a month early. The game installed with the usual first update upon launch. The update file is a little over 300MB. Graphics are decent and there are a ton of new effects and features, many of which was previously only available through DLC purchases in earlier games. For instance, environments like the rain effect are now standard, as are several other items and effects that previously came as DLC or add-ons. Speaking of which, you can import your LBP2 content, profiles and purchased DLC. More on that in a second. Regular gameplay is pretty cool and my kids love it. If you've played Little Big Planet, it's more of the same fun gameplay just with better graphics, more content, new characters and more things to do right off the bat. If you've never played, the best advice I can give you is to view a few online gameplay videos. It can give you an...

Little Big Planet 3 - PlayStation 4

A worthy entry, but falls short from the first two.
LittleBigPlanet 3 is a fantastic game, and I enjoyed the time I spent with it, but the time I spent was very short. You could easily beat this game within 4 hours. The game itself consists of three chapters. Every chapter is played out as a giant hub world connecting you to other levels and story missions. Honestly, I really wanted to like this game, but I just couldn't after I completed it. It still stands strong, but not strong enough to stand against LittleBigPlanet 2 or even the first one.

As you may already know, there's four characters within the game: Oddsock, Toggle, Swoop, and of course, Sackboy. You unlock each character as the game progresses, but the character really aren't used very much. It's a missed opportunity. Each character only has about 2-3 levels to themselves, and 4-5 if you count the final level and boss.

A lot of people have said this game had a buggy release, but I purchased the game after the patches and I've yet to see any game...

Great for Co-op

I originally bought this game to have a game to play with my girlfriend. I'll go through some pros first then hit the cons

Pros:
- Every level is coop
- All the characters are super cute so my girlfriend loves it
- Each level is fairly short
- Dressing up the characters is actually fun
- The difficulty increases but not an insane rate

Cons:
- Many of the later levels require pretty exact button sequences, something my girlfriend is not great at considering she didn't grow up playing videogames
- Some levels have parts that automatically move your character really far by taking one action. While this is cool it also isn't great for coop if the other person isn't ready.
- Death limit on levels. (At least give an unlimited death option)

All in all we have a ton of fun playing this game and would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a light hearted game.

so much fun, i don't care if i'm being childish- what's ...

so much fun, i don't care if i'm being childish- what's wrong with being a kid, anyway!? My only complaint is I wish you could turn the voices off and just keep the music. Also, the swoop levels are sort of buggy imo. But still worth the price of purchase for me.

PlayStation 4 Black Friday Bundle - Lego Batman 3 and Little Big Planet 3

Review

Amazing Bundle on the PS4!
I have been waiting for the best time to get a PS4. This is an amazing deal! I personally <3 LBP games from the PS3. My kids love playing them too. It's a big discount since both games would be $59.99 each! I cannot wait until this comes! It's a "Christmas" present for the kids but they're going to share it with me too. ;-) Now will I be able to stand the wait or will Santa come early this year...

**Update** Well this was connected the night it was delivered. There was no waiting until Christmas for the PS4. It came with a $10 voucher for PlayStation Network. I downloaded the LittleBigPlanet 3 game. If you have played LittleBigPlanet games then you know that Stephen Fry has been the narrator. I was pleasantly surprised that Hugh Laurie does the voice for a main character in the new game. It's great that they're doing something else together. To get the PS4 with two games and a voucher for $399.99 is a great deal. The kids play LBP and other games I have...
PLEASE READ FIRST
Awesome deal. I had been waiting for a good time to buy a PS4 since it launched last year but I was holding out for a bundle of some sorts. I chose this over the GTA V and the Last of Us bundle because I had played GTA (perhaps too much) on my Xbox 360 and had no interest in getting it again.

However, I was very excited to play Little Big Planet 3 and Lego Batman 3. I've been a fan of both since the first LBP and Lego games and these do not disappoint. Haven't had much play time with Little Big Planet yet since I've been addicted to Lego Batman but from what I can tell, it plays just like a LBP game should play.

Also I want to point out explicitly that it says right there on the box that Lego Batman 3 comes as a physical disc copy while you must DOWNLOAD Little Big Planet 3 with the included download code found in the plastic sleeve along with the quick start guides/etc.

Please do not be mislead by some of the other reviewers saying they were cheated...
The Perfect PS4 Bundle for a Family or Younger Audience
To parents and adults who are contemplating on buying a Playstation 4 for a younger family member or relative: If you were waiting to buy a PS4 but were not sure if the ecosystem would have enough children and family friendly games, then this is the bundle for you.

The Playstation 4 is known primarily as a "mature" video game console, like the Xbox One, and very different from the Wii U. But don't be fooled, it has its share of really good kids and family games. I would go as far to say it is more family and children friendly than the Xbox One, because here is a great example.

It has many Lego games that are fun for the whole family, and the Lego Batman 3 game included is the latest in the Lego DC comics franchise. As with Lego games, this game is filled with fun and sly/cynical adult humor, but in a good, light-hearted way - nothing offensive.
There is also the Lego Hobbit franchise, the Lego Marvell comics franchise, and the Lego movie game.
