SummaryProduct Details

LittleBigPlanet arrives in a portable form with LittleBigPlanet PSP. On this LittleBigPlanet, the world is full of infinite possibilities, where imagination becomes reality and the powers of creation are firmly in the players’ hands.

The LittleBigPlanet experience starts with players customizing Sackboy, the loveable main character on LittleBigPlanet. From there, players Play and learn about Sackboy’s powers to interact physically with the surrounding environment while navigating through over 30 vibrant themed environments. Players make their way across these worldly levels, avoiding obstacles, solving puzzles and collecting items that can be used to make their own creations.

To Create, players use the simple 'Popit' menu system to make works of madness or genius, then publish and share their creative works with the community via the Playstation Network. Of course, they can download and explore other players’ creations as well, meaning LBP deliver literally limitless possibilities!

Make, Do and Mend

After a shaky year or two PS3 is now well and truly established in the market and is looking forward to a pretty stunning Christmas, software-wise. Not all the action is happening on Sony's black behemoth, though. Making the platform leap from PS3 to PSP is Sony Cambridge Studio's hugely successful LittleBigPlanet, and if you can ignore all the big PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii ad campaigns appearing on TV and in the press, it's LittleBigPlanet PSP that you should really be looking to spend your chrimbo budget on.

Something For Everyone

The game follows the trials of Sackboy, a cute little creature who the player is able to customise at the start of the game before embarking on his adventure. The idea is that as you play so you learn more about what Sackboy is capable of and how best to use his abilities. By using various tools and craft materials players can construct objects in order to help them solve puzzles, overcome obstacles and collect new objects that will become useful later in the game.

LittleBigPlanet features 30 developer designed levels that will test the skills of gamers of every age and ability.

This PSP version is no slouch when it comes to content. Spanning seven themed worlds, LittleBigPlanet features 30 developer designed levels that will test the skills of gamers of every age and ability.

Creating objects in the game is a simple affair. Using the Popit menu you can select Sackboy's materials, stickers and tools and then create, modify and move pretty much any in-game object you like. In addition, each material has realistic physical properties and will behave as you would expect it too.

Share and Share Alike

Once you've got the hang of the creation tools the real fun begins because not only can you make up your own challenges but you can publish and share them online via the PlayStation Network.

Even if you don't use the game's level design capabilities, you'll almost certainly head online to take advantage of other players' creations.

The great thing about LittleBigPlanet is that even if you're the sort of player who completes a game then stuffs it in a drawer, you might change your habits here. Even if you don't use the game's level design capabilities, you'll almost certainly head online to take advantage of other players' creations. What's more, if a friend has got creative on LittleBigPlanet's ass, he or she can effortlessly share their creations with you. In fact, the replay possibilities are practically endless.

There's very little negative to say about LittleBigPlanet PSP, except perhaps that not everything works quite as well on the small screen as it does in high definition on your telly.

That aside, Sony has created a beautiful and fascinating game, cementing the already good reputation of a modern classic. And if gamers have any sense at all, LittleBigPlanet PSP will surely be one of the big sellers this Christmas.
