Story
★★★★★
"Solid"
A universe made of fabric, cardboard and tinkered objects: everything evokes a sewing workshop turned playground, of irresistible tactility. The handmade charm of the settings and the roundness of Sackboy overflow with tenderness. This art direction, warm and inventive, makes the game a visual object apart.
Eclectic and warm, the soundtrack blends jazz, world, electro and licensed tracks in a joyful patchwork of irresistible whimsy. Each world has its own sonic colour, underlining the handmade, good-natured spirit of the game. This musical generosity, creative and sunny, instantly lifts the mood.
Gameplay
"Excellent"
Fun
"From the very first seconds"
The sequel transcends the concept: the creation workshop now lets you build not just levels, but entire games, from shoot'em up to puzzle. The joy of playing and creating reaches new heights, carried by intact charm and joyful co-op. Charming, generous and infinitely rich, a limitless playground of expression that turns every player into a true creator of worlds.
Addictiveness
"Obsessive"
To the mischievous levels is added an even more powerful workshop able to create almost any game, feeding the urge to play, make and share without end. Testing others' creations and refining your own endlessly restart the session. The slightly soft physics can hinder, but the overflowing inventiveness and the community content sustain a remarkable replayability.
Difficulty
"Balanced"
Lifespan
"Massive"
The Move Pack grafts onto LBP2 a whole dimension of creation and play built around motion detection, with its dedicated levels and exclusive objects. To an already colossal foundation, an editor capable of building whole games, millions of shared creations, local co-op, it adds yet another layer to explore. An edition that pushes the limits of replayability even further out.
A Special Edition of LittleBigPlanet 2 with collector packaging and exclusive bonuses, rarer than the standard edition and particularly tight in its Asian cut. Its appeal lies in this refined packaging and a limited run, making it a target for fans of fine editions and the Sackboy mascot. A sought piece among the game's physical variants.
Better with friends
A creative platformer of irresistible charm, built for four-player local co-op where you help each other through levels packed with traps. Mutual aid takes on a joyful chaos: shoving each other by accident, fluffing a jump together and laughing at the wipeouts is the whole spice of it. The shareable, inexhaustible creation tools extend the fun and make it an endless family playground.
Is LittleBigPlanet 2 - Special Edition still worth playing in 2026?
This edition of LittleBigPlanet 2 enriches the experience with costumes and additional content included from the start, without touching what makes it strong. The core remains this creative revolution where the editor, a true game engine in disguise, lets you build entire adventures well beyond simple platforming, from shoot-em-ups to puzzles. The charming campaign carried by Sackboy and the worldwide community sharing stay intact. The additions are mostly cosmetic and will appeal to the newcomer wanting to start with a little more material. To discover this creative masterpiece with a few bonuses, this version is a good entry point.
