LittleBigPlanet 2 review - Eurogamer

EG writes: "Few games leave no room for a sequel. It makes for poor business and, let's not forget, while the intended destination for most videogame makers is fun, the fuel that gets them there is potential profit. These days, if you want to make money from a blockbuster, the sequel is part of the business plan. But at the beautiful, altruistic core of LittleBigPlanet was the dream of a world that could not only nurture and grow life, but also sustain it. And nearly two years since its debut, this patchwork dimension is still achieving just that."

Oh Yeah! Day 1 with the Collectors Edition :)

PlayerX5014d ago

They gave this game the same score as Donkey Kong Country Returns. Just another bias reviewer.

danmachine5014d ago

is it really that ridiculous to think DKC is as good as LBP2?

OT: great score, the BETA is awesome. Day one.

Rage_S905014d ago

i think its a great score but i also think its better then donkey kong because of endless re-playability and community

KingZFlipper5014d ago

@PlayerX

Why do PS3 Fanboys keep saying that 9 is a bad score? IGN scores 9.0 to LBP and it means awesome. Are you expecting 10.0 from every site you watch? And they're not biased because they gave DKCR the same score... Reason A: There exists different reviewers, it isn't always the same reviewers... Reason B: 2 completely different games, it's like I would say that "IGN is biased because they gave Pac-Man Championship Edition DX 10.0 but not to Halo Reach"... And also, don't care about reviewers. They are a bunch of dudes who express their personal opinions on games. I've got lots of friends that hate Halo, Gears of War etc. and they also think CoD is the best game series in existence and my friends are not biased.. It's their personal opinion.

seij5555014d ago

Im a ps3 fanboy and even I think its ridiculous to expect all 10s.

iamnsuperman5014d ago

@seij555 I think no game deserves 10. 10 is perfection but there is always room for improvement

TheLeprachaun5014d ago

How the hell is that bias? Donkey Kong Country Returns is an amazing game.

RememberThe3575014d ago

Thats a great review form Eurogamer. It looks like this game is everything that people loved from the first, only better.

Older PlayStation games that we'd love to see on the PlayStation 5

From Xfire: "For a company with a three-decade-long history in gaming, Sony has done a crappy job at preserving its legacy. "

MGS, Silent Hill etc are no brainers, but you earned my thumbs up for our boi Croc. I talk about him all the time, it's an honour to find another man of culture.

Flawlessmic880d ago (Edited 880d ago )

Love to hear there other people out there that enjoyed the gem of a game that is croc 👌

RedDevils880d ago (Edited 880d ago )

Okami has HD version already. I want those Sly games though since PS3 and vita had it.

Flawlessmic880d ago

Yea sly would be cool, i never got into those so would be a good opportunity for me to do so.

An update on the LittleBigPlanet server and online services

Classic LittleBigPlanet servers are to be shut down permanently following hacks.
Sony’s drastic move comes after months of downtime for the older games.

darthv721109d ago

It was fun while it lasted. And some of the user created stuff was a blast to play with.

Snookies121109d ago

Whaaa-? That's crazy. Didn't expect it to be permanently shut down...

Teflon021108d ago

It's still up on PS4, they just shut down the PS3 end because hackers on PS3 can't be stopped and go on the game making announcements that can't be avoided without having to go back to all the old game codes and updating to remove the feature etc. It's one of those sad and garbage things where hackers ruined a good thing. I'm mostly sad about the Vita, I'm not sure if I have my music stages saved to my Vita, meaning they're gone forever if I didn't save them back to it. They were good too :(

Profchaos1109d ago (Edited 1109d ago )

Have to say I expected them to be permanently shut down problem would be in the underlying server architecture and possibly something like a depricated authentication protocol which has to be replaced that the PS3, PSP and vita can't support which is why they can't be securely restored on those consoles but the PS4 does support it.so lbp3 was restored on that.

Given the attackers were able to breach the server there was obviously a fear of lateral movement once inside their servers so I can't blame them for this and it makes sense despite the huge blow to the community millions of hours spent building that community.

Despite this blow I believe the millions of creations are going to be available via lbp3 and it's capability of backwards compatibility with user generated content so that's something to be thankful for still not a huge consolation to the many players who only own a older console but unfortunately that's the world we live in these games are old the older they get the more insecure the servers get which the company that make them.host them on and the more likely they need to be shut down.

MadLad1109d ago (Edited 1109d ago )

Feel bad for the people who dedicated so much time into this game.

Battlestar231109d ago

Nice edit to your troll comment.

MadLad1109d ago (Edited 1109d ago )

I reread the article, and changed it, to be as honest on the topic as possible.
Let's be real, it was an easy reaction to have considering their actions of late.

CaptainHenry9161109d ago (Edited 1109d ago )

He's been on a roll and it's comical 😁

RedDevils1108d ago

This guy love stealth troll on playstation article as I see the pattern, but he doesn't want to admit that he's a MS fanboy.

Christopher1109d ago

I am also sorry people enjoyed the online aspects of the game?

The man who earned a job by playing LittleBigPlanet
By GamesRadar Staff March 03, 2015
***“We've hired four people from the LBP community" reveals Alex Evans, co-founder of UK studio Media Molecule and creator of LittleBigPlanet. Including one lucky soul who dodged death to get a job on LBP2. Enter John Beech, or 'johnee' to his PSN friends. Two years ago John was a builder with absolutely no qualifications to speak of. But now? He's a full time designer at Media Molecule working on LittleBigPlanet 2, one of the most anticipated titles on PlayStation 3. This is his story.***

of course there is.. He was stealth trolling stating all LBP contributors wasted their time making levels for LBP... I pointed out that some of the contributors for LBP + Dreams have actually got JOBs because of the CREATIVE console. Just like Gran Turismo fans

Understandable they had to do this better to be safe then sorry. I just wish those right wing racists that hacked the servers and started posting homophobic slurs would get want they deserve a good few decades in prison.

Profchaos1109d ago (Edited 1109d ago )

That's the thing I guess if it wasn't them it would just be someone else and we would still be in this position regardless of their intent.

darthv721109d ago

What are you going on about?

Profchaos1109d ago

The attackers breached and manipulated the servers to place abusive messages all over the game ccontent https://www.ruetir.com/2021...
