The Best Game Music of 2011: LittleBigPlanet 2

As a game, LittleBigPlanet 2 was all about motion and physics. It was a Rube Goldbergian dream diorama, a series of flipping levers, bouncing springs, swinging doorways and tumbling blocks. The game had a heavy thunkiness to it that unfortunately was its undoing in the gameplay department—it was so dependent on its physics engine that the basic platforming never felt quite right, and didn't come close to the kickass bounce of Super Mario 3D Land.

But boy, was this game musical. It was another one that I had a lot of fun reviewing, largely because it was a a game whose aesthetic charms pushed it past its gameplay shortcomings and won me over.

The music in LBP2 was disappointing compared to LBP1.
I guess its all down to personal preference but personally LBP1s music had me captivated. I couldn't wait to see what lbp2 had in store for me and in the end I was very underwhelmed.
Don't get me wrong i LOVE LBP2 and at one point was an avid creator, The music just sucks. -edit it doesn't suck, its just not great.

Check this out if your a lbp2 fan :D

... the music in LBP1 was alot more special to me than LBP2's music.

... LBP2 has the better gameplay and creation-tools, but LBP1 had the better SP and music as far as I'm concerned.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution had an amazing soundtrack.

ironfist924888d ago

Agreed.

I honestly cant tell which is my personal GOTY 2011.

Its a tight toss up between Revelations and Revolution (lol).

Both games were epic, had amazing stories, gameplay, characters, soundtracks, and both were emotionally and psychologically astounding.

I'm a HUGE AC fan, and found Revelations to be the best so far, but I just finished Revolution a few days ago...and my god....its astounding.

rmedtx4890d ago

Definitely one of the best game sound tracks out there.

Kyosuke_Sanada4890d ago (Edited 4890d ago )

Play Shadows Of The Damned, Catherine or Dark Souls then call me in the morning...I really think Akira Toriyama, Shoji Meguro and Motoi Sakuraba brought their S game this year in OSTs. A very close second is Ace Combat: Assault Horizon.....

Listen to this track G-Drive from SotD and this is just the opening menu!

TheLastGuardian4886d ago (Edited 4886d ago )

LBP2 has one of the greatest soundtracks I've ever heard.

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. "

Flawlessmic1106d ago (Edited 1106d 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.

Flawlessmic1106d ago (Edited 1106d ago )

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

Flawlessmic1105d 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.

darthv721334d ago

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

Snookies121334d ago

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

Teflon021334d 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 :(

Profchaos1334d ago (Edited 1334d 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.

MadLad1334d ago (Edited 1334d ago )

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

Battlestar231334d ago

Nice edit to your troll comment.

MadLad1334d ago (Edited 1334d 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.

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.

Christopher1334d 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.

Profchaos1334d ago (Edited 1334d 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.

darthv721334d ago

What are you going on about?
