LittleBigPlanet

LittleBigPlanet (or LBP) is a side-scrolling adventure/platformer where you control a sackboy. The game features a story mode, a level editor, it's own community and DLC. DLCs include level packs and costumes.

The story mode
The story mode includes a lot of pre-made levels made by Media-Molecule. This is where you get most of the beginning stuff, however, it is recommended to not use these in your own levels and publish them, because you break rule 3 in SfP LBP rules: "Do NOT, under any circumstances, use creatures/creations made by Media Molecule in your published levels!"

You start off in the garden where you meet the king, and then you travel across a desert, through a dangerous canyon, over the japanese islands and even all the way up in the northern tundra.

Level Creator
The level creator is possibly the most popular feature in LittleBigPlanet. It is a pretty stable Level Editor and you can make almost everything you want to, except a few things not fitting inside the editor, since it's a three-layer editor (like the whole game). thumb|300px|right|This is an example of what you can start making when oyu first bought the game:

Community
The community consists of over 27/second passed and passed one million levels not long ago.

If you play a level, when you finish it, you get to rate it from 1-5 stars and mark it (like "beautiful" or "braaains..."). You can also comment.

Materials
This should've been in the level editor section, but whatever. This game features not only a lot of special gadgets, but also has a lot of (60+) materials, ranging from the weak polysterene to the strong metals.

Facts about materials in LBP

 * Weak materials like swamps and poly break quite easily, while metals are nearly impossible to crush and/or blow up.


 * In the new Water DLC waiting to be realeased, metals will sink and lighter materials with float.


 * Dark Matter does not move at all, even if you put infinite weight on top of it.


 * The heavier materials are, the more the special gadgets will be affected.

Special Gadgets
Special gadgets are special items used to connect or make connections between objects. Currently there are:

Connectors

 * Ropes: Including string and elastic. Binds objects together unless broken/removed.


 * Springs: Like a normal spring. Can be used to create suspension in cars and trampolines/springboards.


 * Steel Rods: Binds items together permanently. Cannot be moved/destroyed; unless the object(s) it is connected to is destroyed.


 * Chain/Tether: Used to create elevators and cranes.

Bolts

 * Normal: Creates an axle for the objects to spin around. Used to make spinning platforms and trapdoors.


 * Spring: Like a normal bolt, but with a spring. Used to make limbs on ragdolls, diving boards etc.


 * Motor: Used to make bolts spin around indefinetly. Used to make cars, bikes, trikes, tanks etc.


 * Wobble: Excellent for pendulums or turrets.

Hazards
This game also has a few hazards. There are only three at the moment, but maybe there will be a fourth sometime in the future.

Fire
Burns Sackboy, but it's not an instant kill; he jumps up in the air the first time he touches fire. If he hits it twice in a row, he will be killed.

Electricity
As opposed to fire, electricity kills in one hit. When you touch it, SackBoy emits a pressure cooker's whizzle, and he explodes.

Gas
Like electricity, but can float in the air without any support. When SackBoy touches this element, he vaporizes into gas and dies.

Properties
Unlike the other materials, you can change the gas' colors. To do so, simply press (square) while pointing at it, press Square, and then you can just pick what color you want.
