LittleBigPlanet 2 Mini-Games: 10 Of Our Favorites

G4TV: By now, you’ve, hopefully, had a chance to check out our review of Media Molecule’s newly released and brilliantly crafted LittleBigPlanet 2, because if you have, you would know that one of the game’s most profound achievements is how it uses the impressive new list of tools and features to create entirely new games and genres within the LBP2 world. Nowhere is this better evidenced than in the game's fantastic selection of mini-games, which not only get those competitive multiplayer juices flowing but also demonstrate the wide spectrum of possibilities available via the game’s expansive tools set. So to keep the LBP2 love train rolling, we thought we’d put together a little video collection of 10 of our favorite (in no particular order) LBP2 mini-games for your ocular enjoyment. So…enjoy!

just got LBP2 ... maby mass effect 2 next ... gud to own ps3 rite now

TheLastGuardian5217d ago

I just beat the LBP2 story mode. These MM levels are fantastic. I wasn't expecting the story to be this much better than LBP1. I don't see how the LBP community is going to top MM's levels.

showtimefolks5217d ago

late next month hopefully by than many great games will be there to play around with.

smash TV should be remade using LBP2

Biggest5217d ago

Too late in your thought. There are at least three that I've seen already. lol

showtimefolks5217d ago

i never played LBP 1 because it never interest me. but with LBP 2 you can create complete games and that sounds interesting there are some very talented gamers out there who have some great ideas so can not waite to try those levels hopefully sooner than late next month

just have so many games in my back catalog that i need to play its like buying everything but not having enough time to play everything

LF915217d ago

Getting this game tommorrow when it releases in the uk, can anyone tell me what are the community levels like on lbp2? Is there any great ones yet that really stand out?

Raendom5217d ago

Put simply... Yes. The tutorials in this game are MUCH better than the first, the tools are so easy. I've been surfing by "newest" and there are maybe 5 good levels to 2 bad ones.

But if you surf by MM picks or "cool levels" boy howdy... There is some AMAZING stuff in there. Some twin stick shooters that are better than full retail games on PSN.

The single player levels imo are much better, the grabinator and grapple hook along with the creatinator(absolutely a BLAST when making your own levels) make it just an extremely fun experience all around.

LF915217d ago

wow that sounds amazing, my levels weren't too good on the first but with the better tutorials I should be able to make a half decent level. Thanks alot for the reply, bubbles for the detailed and quick reply!

R_aVe_N5217d ago (Edited 5217d ago )

One of the best player made games I have played on LBP2 was a tower defense game. Man that was really well done. I had no idea that could even be done in LPB2.

Bathyj5217d ago

I'm gonna make a 2D side scroller shooter, ala Bionic Commando with grappling hook.

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. "

Flawlessmic1100d ago (Edited 1100d ago )

All the mgs games, all the ape escapes, silent hill 1-4, croc 1 and 2, legend of dragoon, tekken 3,tenshu, bushido blade, vagrant story, okami, ico, crash bash, gt4.

Thats just off the top of my head that i would play immediately, still so many more though that id love.

Welshy1100d ago

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.

Flawlessmic1100d ago (Edited 1100d ago )

Hahaha yea was one of my very first games i owned on ps1 as a child, great memories!!

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

RedDevils1100d ago (Edited 1100d ago )

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

Flawlessmic1099d ago

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

But yea theres so many games in sony catalogue we coukd be here all day listing titles.

Hopefully we all get the ganes we are hoping for.

outsider16241100d ago

Tenchu 1 and 2
Socom 1 and 2
MGS 1-3
MGS4
ICO

seanpitt231100d ago

RDR2 for me they can boost that up to 60fps with better graphic settings than last gen

Luc201100d ago

Folklore. It was such a unique and beautiful game. Great soundtrack. I still have my PS3 copy

The_Hooligan1100d ago

YES please! Also I would love to see Warhawk come back. Such an awesome game.

moriarty18891100d ago

The Resistance and a killzone series for me.

Bigman4k1100d ago (Edited 1100d ago )

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.

darthv721328d ago

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

Snookies121328d ago

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

Teflon021328d 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 :(

Profchaos1328d ago (Edited 1328d 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.

MadLad1328d ago (Edited 1328d ago )

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

Battlestar231328d ago

Nice edit to your troll comment.

MadLad1328d ago (Edited 1328d 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.

CaptainHenry9161328d ago (Edited 1328d ago )

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

RedDevils1327d 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.

Christopher1328d 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.***

lol
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.

Profchaos1328d ago (Edited 1328d 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.

darthv721328d ago

What are you going on about?

Profchaos1328d ago

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