Littlebigplanet: Official Strategy Guide

If you're like me, playing little big planet is fun, but you get annoyed when you can't find that last little item. This book is FANTASTIC. It is high quality paper, high quality color pictures, and gives complete details on where stuff is and how to unlock secret stuff. I love it, but it can be easy to want to take a peek before you even start the level, so be careful not to use it as a crutch! The makers of this book sure didn't skimp on quality like some others do.

the guide is very much in detail. it would have been nice to have an overall map of the whole level but the book is 300+ pages with everything else include. so the full map is just minor compared to the overall guide.

I want and wanted to get all price bubbles in the game, but I wasn't sure to buy the guide at first. After asking in ps3Forums about if the guide was deep enough, I decided to buy the guide and for my luck it is extremely awesome. The guide does tell you were are all the price bubbles and their secret locations, it also provides you with maps of each level, which makes hardly to get lost with in the game. There are lost a pages dedicated to the level editor tool too, the guide provides description of all the options of movements, materials, create creatures and that stuff, well detailed and helpful. Last but not less, is also includes the list of all trophies and the way to unlock them all. Off-Topic: LittleBigPlanet is a life classic game, if you have a PS3, you must own this game.

First of all, this is a beautiful guide. Every time I pick up one of the Brady Games guides I'm impressed with the quality of the actual item. Nice smooth pages, great colors, etcetera. About 66% of this guide deals with the story mode. This involves a checklist of items for each level, as well as hints and tips on completing them successfully. The remainder handles the level creation tools, which is really where the replay value of LittleBigPlanet is going to be. Once you've read this, you'll be able to create your own level with relative ease. Of course, LittleBigPlanet itself has tutorials for most of the items you can use to build levels, but having it in one place for future review is timeless. So, all-in-all, a very solid book. The minor issues I mentioned in my review title are solely that: a) There's no overview map of the story levels. Granted, these levels are rather large, but I'd still like to see a couple of pages near the beginning, with the full maps. b) A comprehensive checklist of items. In other words, here's all of the stickers, and where you can find them. Etcetera. I'm also not seeing a listing of items you receive after doing the tutorials. I can't remove an entire star because of these two minor issues, so 4.5 stars is rounded to 5. You'll use most of the guide for 100% completion in story mode, once, and refer to the rest for as long as the level creation functionality keeps your interest.
