LittleBigPlanet 2 Special Edition

SCORE: 92

I have never personally been a fan of special edition versions of games. Especially if you already purchased the first version. With that said LittleBigPlanet 2 Special Edition includes over thirty-five dollars of bonus content. The Playstation Move compatibility has also been added. These two change a few things. If you have not previous played LittleBIGPlanet 2, then you definitely want to check out LittleBIGPlanet 2 Special Edition.

The concept behind this franchise is pretty simple - Play, Create, and Share. Play LittleBIGPlanet 2 Special Edition and collect various important items. These can be ways to modify your SackBoy, stickers, decorations, and/or creation items. Once the player has collected enough items, they can start to create their very own levels on their personal moon. Then you can share those with other players. Or you can see what others have created.

The graphics are very impressive in LittleBIGPlanet 2 Special Edition. Players need to jump on certain enemies to get rid of them, and to throw items at other enemies. This is the extent of the violent content in LittleBIGPlanet 2 Special Edition. I honestly expected a lot more violent content, and find LittleBIGPlanet 2 Special Edition to be very safe for most ages of the family.

The music and humor stick out for me. The characters do not take themselves too seriously even though The Sucker could remove them from this universe at any point in time. The music is very diverse in LittleBIGPlanet 2 Special Edition. I found certain levels that I did not want to leave because I enjoyed the music so much. When it comes to level creation time, there is a Music Sequencer in LittleBIGPlanet 2 Special Edition. This allows gamers to design their own custom music with multiple instruments.
 
Getting to use the Playstation Move with LittleBIGPlanet 2 Special Edition is wonderful. I really enjoyed how this changed the controls in the game for the better. They were not just tacked on either. Sony obviously thought about what they were doing. This enhances LittleBIGPlanet 2 Special Edition in some neat ways.

I am recommending LittleBIGPlanet 2 Special Edition to family and friends who have not played LittleBIGPlanet 2. This Playstation 3 game exhibits many of the good points of the video game industry. Getting to create your own content and share that with others is fantastic. LittleBIGPlanet 2 Special Edition fleshes out a story much more than the original. Sure it may be tongue in cheek, but I believe it helps start the creative juices flowing. It was a real pleasure and a joy for me to play and review LittleBIGPlanet 2 Special Edition. Players get to help out the Alliance in their time of need, which is a nice lesson.

LittleBIGPlanet 2 got a perfect one hundred score in the replay section. Our review scale does not go any higher. So even though there is more content, the score in that section can not be effected at all. Still there are months of replay in LittleBIGPlanet 2 Special Edition. If you enjoy creating things you will get your moneys worth out of LittleBIGPlanet 2 Special Edition.
