Oooooh!We’re about to give birth to our second baby, and we are some seriously proud parents right now. I hope you don’t mind if we gush uncontrollably for a little while?

LittleBigPlanet 2 is nearly upon us. By the end of the week you should all be able to walk into a store and pick up a copy! we’ve poured a lot of time, love and energy into it, and we think you are really going to like it.

Reviews have been popping into existence all over the internet recently too, a really positive response, check out some of the wonderful things people have been saying.

“With this sequel, Media Molecule gives players a bottomless toybox, and I can’t remember the last time a game had such a relentless grip on my imagination.”

- Game Informer 9.5/10

LBP2 represents a dazzling new opportunity for creating deep, diverse and ingenious play”

- Edge 9/10

“This isn’t just a superbly presented game that incorporates multiple genres and comes packaged with a powerful creation suite, it’s your doorway into a wonderfully charming, vibrant, and ever-changing universe where almost anything is possible. “

- 9/10

“We 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. We predict that it’s going to be like setting off an atomic bomb. LittleBigPlanet 2 will see an explosion of hobbyist game creation that could – in an even bigger way this time – send shockwaves around the industry. Duck and cover people, Sackboy is back. And in a world obsessed with identikit sequels, that is something worth believing in.”

We’re so, so very excited that you’ll all get to play the game soon, and cannot wait for all the amazing creations we know are just around the corner. Please feel free to blow our collective mind to smithereens.
