To start with I have to say I am a Huge fan of this game since before it was released. But it truly is an amazing game and a reinvention of the classic side scrolling game. I am going to break my review into sections talking specifically about those topics.
Game play:
The game play is Very simple: you run jump and grab onto things. the difference between every other side scrolling platform game is there are 3 planes. and you can go between them at anytime. You will have to use the planes to get around objects, avoid enemies, and collect items. The only drawback to the mulit plane is sometimes the game will do its own thing. You also have the option to play the story levels by yourself or online.

You also have the option to play the story levels by yourself or online.
Collecting items:
In every level you can collect a variety of things. there are Costume pieces, stickers, Level creation items and material for level design. And if you make it through the level without dieing (called Acing a level) you will be rewarded with additional items. Some items can only be gathered when playing multi-player. There are TONS of stuff to collect in this game. and as the levels go on they get more challenging, so collecting everything and acing levels gets harder and harder. But the rewards are worth it.

Customization:
This game allows you to customize your sackboy how ever you would like. by collecting new costume peices you can change the look of your guy whenever you want. and there are so many options you will never get tired of customizing him. You can place stickers where ever you want throughout the level or in your pod (where you select your games).

Creating Levels:
Creating levels can be very challenging and sometimes difficult and time consuming but it is up to your imagination to create as big or short of a level as you like.

Online Play:
There are hundreds if not thousands of levels other people have created online for you to play on. You can play online with friends or random people or by yourself. You can search based on ratings or newest levels so that you can easily play levels you like. you can also bookmark levels for later play.

Downloadable Content (DLC):
Since the game has been released there has been a large number of downloadable content. Some of it is free while the rest you purchase. And it doesnt look like Mm will be stoping any time soon. On Dec 23 they released the Metal Gear Solid pack allowing you to play 5 new levels, a slew of new stickers and level creating goodies and a paint gun. the new add-on I hope this is an indication that LBP will continue to grow, change and keep things fresh.

Overall this is a great game for every age. Its a great mulitplayer game and with all the customization and DLC it will be fun to play for a long time to come. It is a must buy for all PS3 owners.

This is a great game! If you are up to a challenge and love action / button masher games this is perfect. it is difficult, if you are a average gamer you will die many times (like me). But overall the graphics are wonderful especially on a HDTV. The new techniques you learn along the way keep the game varied. the only problem i had with it was the camera. I have played a lot of game with worse camera control but this one did get annoying on occasion. but it was infrequent and not long lasted.
What's great about it: Graphics, Difficulty, varied
What's not so great: Story is cheesey and camera controls could be better

SynopsisYou've left the Frontier behind and now the Medieval world unfolds around you. You pick your way through the halls of the castle with caution. With your trusty bowling ball in one hand and a fire hose in the other, you're ready for any challenge. You remember only too well how those chickens almost got the best of you last time. But wait, what's this? Monkeys have launched an attack and suddenly you're being pelted with baseballs. You dodge the baseballs and unleash the fire hose to give those sneaky monkeys a taste of real hydropower. Quickly you make your escape, but what awaits around the next corner?An entirely different world awaits you in Boom Blox ~ and there are actually five different worlds and no less than 300 levels. Brought to you in cooperation with renowned director and producer Steven Spielberg, Boom Blox is a creative thrill-ride filled with zany characters, mind-bending challenges and bizarre new places. Explore richly imagined environments, including, Tiki, Medieval and Haunted, and utilize crazy virtual tools ranging from fire hoses to lasers to blast your way through hundreds of exciting challenges. Encounter characters the likes of which you've never seen before, such as baseball-throwing monkeys and Blox-laying chickens. Make the game even wilder in Create mode, where you can unlock characters, worlds and props to build virtually anything you can dream up. In the thrill-a-minute settings of Boom Blox, the only limit is your own imagination.

If you are a fan to fighting games than this game is for you. It has a large roster of characters, you can create up to 50 of your own and lots of unlockables. The graphics look great. It only go up to 720p but even then they are very crisp and clear. Fighting wise there is a lot of depth to each character. The story mode is the only thing that is a bit of a let down. Story mode consists of 5 matches and then you are done. Over all i would give this 4 1/2 stars - 5.
What's great about it: Lots of Characters, Create a character, graphics
What's not so great: Short story Mode
