Sony Little Big Planet - PS 3

LittleBigPlanet is a 2008 platform game developed by Media Molecule and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 3. The first game of the LittleBigPlanet franchise, the player character is Sackboy, a brown ragged doll with the ability to create. The level editor is the main focus of the game, allowing the player to create levels and publish them online. The premade levels in the story mode are built around Sackboy's basic control scheme. They are grouped into areas, each centring around a theme. The story mode revolves around Sackboy helping various Creator Curators around LittleBigPlanet before facing the Collector, who has been kidnapping and stealing creations. LittleBigPlanet is a physics-based platform game that is designed around the tagline "Play. Create. Share". The player can play the levels in the game, create levels, and share them online. The pod, which takes the form of a cardboard ship, serves as a hub to these options. The ability to play other levels is on the planet known as "LittleBigPlanet", where story mode and published levels are available. The level editor is on MyMoon, which also allows the player to publish levels onto LittleBigPlanet. The player character is a brown rag doll named "Sackboy" which can be customised through the use of costumes. Sackboy can run, jump, and grab objects that are made out of certain materials. He can also grab jetpacks to fly, move between the three layers of the game, and access a menu known as the "Popit", which has the appearance of a floating vertical rectangle connected to Sackboy with a filament. The Popit is the source of customising tools, stickers, and objects. The player can give Sackboy one of four emotions; happy, sad, scared, and angry; with varying degrees of severity.
The story mode of LittleBigPlanet consists of eight themed areas, each with three or four main levels. Keys are hidden throughout the main levels, which when collected unlock bonus levels. This adds up to a grand total of fifty levels.[4] Each level is designed around the control scheme of Sackboy and the themes of their area. For example, the Metropolis involves navigating sewers and hopping on subways. Although the story mode is in sequential order, each of the levels can be replayed to collect prize bubbles, which contains items, including costumes, stickers, songs, and objects. There are also score bubbles, which when collected in a chain, can grant a multiplier to the amount of score gained from the score bubbles. Each of the levels also contains checkpoints, where Sackboy can respawn if he dies. Each checkpoint has three available uses, or in some cases, six available uses. If the last activated checkpoint runs out of uses, the level ends. The player has the ability to play the game with up to three other players. Some puzzles for finding prize bubbles in story mode require more than one player.
