Editor's note: As I mentioned in a recent episode of The Mobcast, it's hard to find good user-created levels in LittleBigPlanet. Lance's decided to share a few of his favorites with us. I'm eager to see if I can help teach my niece to read with the
On episode 16 of the Mobcast, Jason Wilson asked if anyone's still playing LittleBigPlanet. I think that I may be one of the few Bitmobbers who is still into Sackboy. Why? Because there's a devoted group of creators devising absolutely amazing content. Where else can you can find levels based on crazy original ideas like a psychedelic roller coaster or re-creating scenes from Dead Space, Star Trek, Shadow of the Colossus, and Contra?
So for those of you who have left LittleBigPlanet, here are three of my favorite creators. Any level by them will be fun to play, but I've included my top picks to get you started.
Level: LITTLE BIG BREAKFAST!!!
Creator: Stunkel
Stunkel has created a series of levels based on Sackboy shrinking in size and exploring various areas of a common house. Think something along the lines of Honey, I Shrunk the Sackboy. Stunkel's levels are not the most artistic, but in terms of pure fun, they're wonderful. LITTLE BIG BREAKFAST!!! is my favorite of these. It's a well-made, difficult level that has beautifully designed objects.
Levels: PSYCHO SOLO coaster, ABCs R Fun 4 Kids
Creator: ikilya-
PSYCHO SOLO coaster is an amazingly designed level with wonderful artwork. There isn't much gameplay, but just look at it! It's psychedelic! It has a roller coaster! What could be better?
ABCs R Fun 4 Kids is one of the best levels that I've found for children. Every letter of the alphabet has its own small section of the level, and each section has a different theme. For example, the "C" section (pictured above) features a crab and is set under the sea. I really enjoyed playing through this level, and I highly recommend it for children or the illiterate.
Level: Hell's Angels
Creator: poms
I've saved the best for last. Poms has made three levels -- The Bunker, The Miracle of Life, and Hell's Angels -- and they are all excellent. Hell's Angels is my favorite. In it, you travel from hell to heaven and back on a wicked chopper. However, describing the level doesn't do it justice. Go play it now! It's truly a work of genius.
The next time you're tempted to play LittleBigPlanet, be sure to check out these original levels made by the community. And if other creators or levels have caught your eye, please post them below!
