Little Big Planet on the PSP is a wonderful amalgamation of cleverness, cuteness, and fun.
You play as Sackboy. A little person with a big heart, as he goes from place to place doing his best to help those in need. This help could take form anywhere between helping a director make his movie to returning a dragon egg to it's mother.
Each chapter is broken up into levels, which have their own unique look. Each part of the story takes place in a different area of the world, which inspires the art for each stage. Each level is played on a two plane world of platforming adventure. That is to say, although you're essentially moving on a 2D plane, there is one level of depth allowing you to move one step away from (then back towards) the screen.
You'll be running, jumping, swinging and falling through this colourful land pushing and pulling various objects to solve a variety of switch puzzles. Flying tethered jet packs, and riding a crazy collection of creatures and conveyances also adds to the fun ways to get around. The developers did a great job at keeping the level design mixed up, and throwing in new surprises to keep the game feeling fresh.
The puzzles are usually simple but clever. The action and pacing makes for an experience that is most often light-hearted fun. However, going for the top score, and looking to collect everything there is to collect will keep you coming back for more as you try to up your skills.
Some items you'll be looking to unlock will be new wardrobe items for your Sackperson. This will let you change the skin (or cloth) colour of your character, along with the look of their hair, clothes, footwear and fashion accessories.
The most interesting thing I found to unlock were the bonus levels. These are unlocked by finding hidden items in the story missions, and usually consist of a mini-game (perhaps flinging cows around) or a race against the clock over treacherous terrain. It was in a few of these races where I found lay the biggest challenges in the game.
The story mode is relatively short, and if you're looking to simply make it from start to finish as quickly as possible, skipping the extras, you could likely do it in just 2-3 hours. Of course that's not where the developers intended on having the fun end.
In addition to the enjoyment the bonus levels add, you can also create your own levels. You can then share your levels, or go online and download from the library of levels other users have created. Sadly I didn't find the selection of user levels for the PSP version to be that grand; or at least the selection of levels that earned high ratings.
The controls are fairly tight, with little room for improvement. You can tell that quality level design plays a big role in making the controls work as well as they do. It was rare when playing through the story mode that I wished for a little more refinement with them, but more often this feeling came around when I was playing some of the lesser quality user-made levels.
I appreciated the sound track in the game, which came with fitting music and sound effects. It was all catchy without being tiring and repetitive. The voice-overs for your guide that comes around during any kind of tutorial was well cast and a pleasure to listen to.
Little Big Planet on the PSP is full of creativity, and serves as a great amalgamation of old methods meeting new ideas.
Cutting no corners, Sony Cambridge have managed to cram almost everything that made LittleBigPlanet such a loveable, charming game on the PlayStation 3 onto the PlayStation Portable. Visual polygon shifting limitations are one thing when porting in this direction, but the supremely talented developers have not only managed to overcome the PSP’s notably weaker graphical prowess but have also retained the wonderful sense of character that the PS3 version had, the same level of audio and, for the most part, and most importantly, the notion of Play, Create, Share.
Really, this is stunning stuff. Sure, Sackboy now only has two planes to move in and out of rather than three and the lower pixel resolution means you won’t get quite the same feeling that everything’s built from natural materials but apart from the surprising (and disappointing) lack of multiplayer, this is basically LittleBigPlanet 2, only on a handheld rather than a console. It’s a new story, with brand new levels, there’re new objects and clothing, new music, re-done voiceovers (again with Stephen Fry) and even a few new features of its own.
It’s hard not to be impressed, then.
Pros:
•It’s LittleBigPlanet, in your hand.
•Looks great, controls well enough.
•The Create mode is stunning given the host platform.
•You can make Sackboy look like the Prince of Persia. Or Crocodile Dundee. Or…
Cons:
•There’s no multiplayer.
•Some of the later levels needed a tiny bit more playtesting to smooth out the bugs.
•Load times can grate a little, even off the memory stick.
I have watched my nephews and son go crazy over playing this game. It looks very cool to play. I wanted to play it when I seen them loving it so much, but I guess they were into it to much they told me I could play it another time. Hehe. It was a HUGE hit for the Christmas lists this year for their PSP systems. Too bad it is not made for the Xbox 360..lol...
Definitely recommend this game :) Happy Holidays!!
The name of the PSP game got my attention by the cute sackboy on the front cover and the word planet in the title. I love the expressions of sackboy, i love the calm cute music. I love the game because it guides me along the way in simple descriptive directions.
I love the background pictures and how you can add your own decoration.
If you like little big planet for the PS3 you will like this one too. The only downside is once you are used to waiving your arms around in the ps3 version you keep trying to do it with buttons that don't exist on the PSP. It's fun you can make your own levels and play others levels, which makes these game the best ever in my opinion, they never get boring, there is always something new, I recommend this game for all ages my daughter has been playing the PS3 version since she was 4, her favorite part is dressing up sack boy, he has many different outfits and more will be coming. Buy this game and you won't be disappointed.
