A LittleBigPlanet game has many moving parts, and LittleBigPlanet 3 showcases what can go wrong when they aren't quite properly aligned, despite a valiant attempt. New developer Sumo Digital created an enormous puzzle-platformer with equally enormous scope for creation and an enjoyable single-player...

Gorgeous; imaginative worlds; Beefed up creation toolkit; Great new power ups

Curiously limited co-op; Game-breaking bugs

It's not often that I can forgive a game for throwing me through the geometry to my doom simply because the game itself is just too damn delightful. I am not the most fast-fingered of platformer players, but when I'm guiding a tiny creature made of wool and stuffing through a maze of fire and...

New; creative gadgets allow for and encourage deeper exploration; Intricate stage decoration and quirky NPCs adeptly world-build; Background music perfectly sets ambience and tone; adds to the playfulness of gameplay; The level editor is a rabbit hole of creative possibilities; There is a Pug...

Where and how you can use new characters is extremely limited; Bugs are problematic enough to hinder progression in some areas

Since 2009, the LittleBigPlanet series has been a dream come true for creative gamers and platforming fans alike. Sackboy's cute face and Stephen Fry's amusing narration gave single-player fans something to enjoy, while players with a green thumb for game design could make platforming stages and try...

After a surprisingly short delay between announcement and release, LittleBigPlanet 3 has made its way to PS3 and PS4. It's the first console iteration without Media Molecule at the helm, and any fan of the series will tell you, Sumo Digital has quite big shoes to fill.

Concept: LittleBigPlanet treads familiar ground with some new gadgets and three new playable characters Graphics: The cloth textures and infectious art style are gorgeous, but the nature of ?

Its an okay game.... but not really the fun game to play for hours. I spent hours on this last holiday and didn't really play it much after that. I hope i'll play this game again soon.

If you have the time to learn it, this is a game that makes it feel like almost anything is possible.

So much potential; the only limit is imagination; Some great tutorials to ease new players in

No guidance for much of the harder stuff; The new characters; though cute; don't fit in

Sony have tried to get a mascot that can match that of SEGA and Nintendo ever since they stepped into the console market. Jak, Daxter, Ratchet, Clank, Crash and more. All of those are good characters but none as iconic for Sony as Mario and Sonic are to their companies.

+ Fresh new gameplay ideas; + New mode to introduce you to creating; + Backwards compatible DLC
