Play.tm: LittleBigPlanet Review

As someone who's bemoaned the number of ports in the PSP's library as much, if not more than the next person, it comes as something of a shock to realise that by being exactly that, a beautifully accurate port, LBP somehow becomes a better game in the process. Its core concept of an ever expanding universe filled with bite-sized platforming chunks dovetails perfectly with the pick-up-and-play nature of handheld gaming to the extent you start to wonder if it was actually always meant to be played this way.

Obviously if you loved the original then this fresh slice of near identical pie should delight you once again, if however, you loved the ingredients but were left a little nonplussed by the whole thing last time then this second helping could convert you.

Yeah really. I've been kind of skeptical about this version of the game for some reason. I love the PS3 game to death but I haven't decided on getting the PSP one yet. I still don't know if it's entirely needed in my library. I don't really play my PSP or DS too much, I'm more of a console gamer.

Yeah, I wasn't sure about it too but it looks like it came out good. I just want to know if it'll work with a hacked PSP.

I wanna get it but I don't want to buy it before I know that. Anyone know?

To be crystal clear: I do not, do NOT, condone piracy.
The PSP hacked is just a better music player. So, anyone out there, do you know if I put in a legit umd copy into my PSP, would it work?

Please

it depends on the custom firmware you are using and if the game is compatible to the custom firmware i believe.

5.00 m33 but I'll change to another if it means playing this and Jak and Daxter.

I was very skeptical. Was afraid they compromised too much. Still I think this will end up averaging AA (80s). Great score nonetheless. Media Molecule sure have made a mark.

Tempted to pick this up - could even see it helping to move people to buying into the PSP system (3000 way to go) given the popularity of its big brother.

It's an incredible achievement to be able to port this successfully to PSP with the only real downgrade being the visuals (which don't seem to have even taken much of a hit!).

I was really worried because of the amount of physicsy goodness the PS3 version had that I doubted could run on the PSP, but great to hear it's all intact!

Makes me wonder how much the Wii is capable of, since creative games like this would be perfect for the Wii's target audience AND work much better pointing with a wiimote for level building...

When I think about it, LBP does fit more to the PSP than the PS3 counterpart.
