LittleBigPlanet 2’s out in a couple of weeks, but yesterday the first reviews went live (including ours) and, as of writing this, there are only four games ahead of it in the PlayStation 3 Metacritic chart.
At the moment, after fourteen reviews, Sackboy’s latest adventure is sitting snugly at 94% – and the praise for the game is overwhelmingly good, with the lowest score a still fantastic 85%. Most critics have high hopes for the Create mode, with magazine GamesTM saying they “can’t wait to see what LittleBigPlanet 2 has evolved into in a month or three, when we can truly measure the impact that these tools will have had on an already ultra-creative community.”
Eurogamer felt the same way as us about the single player game – it’s good, but the strength of the title lies in what the user can do. “Strip away the relentless good looks,” they said, “and the generous open-source playpen, and the bare, underlying platformer’s shortcomings may hold it back from classic status. But as a package, as a concept, as an unfinished story, LittleBigPlanet 2 is a world apart. ”
We can’t wait to see what TSA’s community comes up with – let us know if you’re pre-ordering the game and where from.

I got a Game voucher at Christmas, so I’m going to use that to buy LBP2

Got mine pre-ordered at ChoicesUK. Not expecting day one delivery, but at £28.99 I can live with that.
The price has since gone up and they’ve even sent me a letter asking if I’d like to cancel due the delayed release.

I will buy LBP2 eventually(read; next 2 months), but right now, I’m on a budget and I have to stick to it.

Wow, I’ll probably have to get this but I’ll only have a couple of days (maybe even just one) with it online for the first month that it’s out. We’ll see.

Good to hear, it was bound to be good the first one was.

Hello, people of TSA.
This, I’m pleased to say, is my first post. I’m quite excited to finally be a member – i’ve been a regular reader for a couple of months, but have never had the urge to sign up.
I’m really excited about LBP2. As seems to be the case for many others, I didn’t really get my creative juices flowing through the first one – I didn’t have an internet connection at the time, but really enjoyed the story. I pre-ordered the collectors edition from GAME; i really like the look of the Vulture costume!

Welcome, fella.
My flat mate and I are really looking forward to LBP2 as well. Funds permitting, we’ll get it this month (going halves helps so much!).
I tried creating stuff but didn’t have the mental energy to so I’m happy enjoying MM’s own levels and whatever the cream of the community happens to be.
Played the demo a few times and it’s great.

I am going to get this but am unsure if I should pre order it or not. It’s a tough decision for me as I absolutely loved the first one but there are some old DVDs and games that my mate is selling and I havent got the money to get both of them.
