LittleBigPlanet 2: Special Edition

About

This expanded version of LittleBigPlanet 2 adds bonus content to the already robust platformer puzzle game. Play as Sackboy navigating a world of physics-based challenges while battling a vacuum threat called the Negativitron. The core experience mixes exploration, creative problem solving, and cooperative multiplayer. Players can craft their own levels using the intuitive level editor or tackle user-made challenges. The Special Edition adds PlayStation Move support, a dedicated Toy Story level, and multiple costume packs including pets and animal themes. The game’s standout is its community-driven content which keeps the experience fresh long after the main story ends. With a 92% critic score on Metacritic, it’s praised for its seamless blend of single and multiplayer modes. The inclusion of Move-specific levels and Disney crossover content gives it extra replay value. Players often highlight the tactile joy of using motion controls to interact with the world. The 2011 holiday bundle inclusion shows its appeal as a premium PS3 experience with lasting creative potential.

Storyline

Players continue Sackboy's journey after the events of the first game and the portable version are brought to an end. An inter-dimensional vacuum cleaner called the Negativitron appears over the skies of LittleBigPlanet and begins to suck up its inhabitants, including Sackboy. Larry Da Vinci, the leader of a group known as "The Alliance", comes to Sackboy's rescue - saving him from the Negativitron. The organisation is dedicated to battling with the Negativitron and defeating it before it destroys Craftworld entirely.
