LittleBigPlanet (PSP) > Reviews (5)

The version I am reviewing is for the PSP.

INFO

Little Big Planet PSP is a single player game needing a minimum of 12mb memory.
It is from age 7 & up.
This copy was brought for me for £14.99.

THE GAMES OBJECTIVE

You play Sackboy, a stitched character (that looks a bit like Zippy from Rainbow) in discovering new lands (Australia, India, Switzerland, USA) and collecting objects so as to make your own game later on.

PLAYING THE GAME

The analog button makes you move in the direction you want and the control buttons (X, O etc) make you jump, grab etc.
The arrow buttons control your facial features.
You first start off in Australia where you explore the land.
Here is where you learn to use the different functions such as jumping.
The narrator (which I think is Stephen Fry) tells you that you can complete the game as a hero because you are not like everyone else, you are you.
Collecting bubbles helps you mount up points. Along the way you pick up bigger bubbles which contain various things that will help you develop your own levels later on.
As you progress, new sub levels appear and extra levels to give you more points.
As you finish each country, a new country is opened.
This is a platform game and is similar to Sonic The Hedgehog.
You can change the appearance of your Sackboy by giving him new clothes, hairstyles etc with more and more accessed throughout the game.

THE GRAPHICS / EFFECTS

The graphics for the game are pretty standard and nothing special.
You can choose to have music playing but I found this pretty annoying as it just repeats the same music throughout the level.

MY THOUGHTS

The game is addictive but can be frustrating on some levels.
However, there are plenty of save spots so when a difficult part of the game comes up, you dont have to start over again.
Some of the levels are really difficult with timing being essential.
It didnt take me very long to finish the games levels and although I did have a look at making my own levels, in the end, to be honest, I just couldnt be bothered!
You can connect to the internet and down load new levels and even share your own level with others but I did not attempt this.
It's not a bad game but can become a bit "samey" and repetitive.
