Can I really take SackBoy on the road?
by Joey Davidson
Nov 17, 2009

Finally, it's undeniable the LittleBigPlanet owes a massive portion of its own success to its charming presentation.  SackBoy's the perfect character to exist in the crafty, creepy world of LBP.  But pulling off that SackBoy look is a little tough on the PSP.  Sony Cambridge mostly succeeded in this aspect.  They keep the camera out far enough so that the resolution of individual pieces can be kept low enough for glory, but if you ever do get close enough to a sticker or other such object you'll quickly notice some jaggies.  It's to be expected, so no bad marks for this.  The graphical presentation is rock solid, so don't get hung up on losing that LBP look.

The music isn't nearly as amazing as it was the first time around.  Granted, it's all in song selection, I just happen to think that the song selection for the PS3 version was much better.  Sound effects and voice work are both spot on, the music misses the mark by a lot in my opinion.  The best sign of this fact is that I never once found myself humming the themes away from my PSP.

And, as a note, using the PSP-3000 I found that headphones are absolutely mandatory.  The game is quiet, the music is quiet and the voice work is damn near inaudible.  Even with the volume maxed, I was struggling to listen even in relatively silent rooms.  Bring your headphones, especially if you need the spoken tutorials.

When all is said and done, Kudos go out to Sony Cambridge and Media Molecule for pulling this off.  I started out iffy, and I wound up enjoying LittleBigPlanet PSP as the on-the-go package it was meant to be.  If you think you'd just die without SackBoy on your next trip away from home, LittleBigPlanet PSP is a near perfect solution.

CraveOnline Rating: 9.0 out of 10
-1 if you miss the multiplayer.
+1 if you can't get enough SackBoy and NEED him for traveling.
