LittleBigPlanet 2

Date played: April 30th
Platform: Playstation 3
Time played: 60 minutes
Session fun rating: 8/10

I played a few levels of LBP 2 with my girlfriend today.  We are making our way through story mode and are in a world where it's all about vegetation.  One thing that always pisses us off is that you never know if you have the sticker to put on those special panels to open up new areas.  Sometimes you have it already, sometimes it's inside the level you're in and sometimes it's in a later level.  Pretty frustrating mechanic.

Giant flaming carnivorous plant of death
One level that stood out was a minigame.  Basically, We had to control two copies of our sackmen at the same time to navigate two mazes.  It was a really cool concept that took my girlfriend a while to grasp but we got through it eventually.  Oh yeah, we also destroyed a giant flaming carnivorous plant.  Good times.

Unfortunately, we still can't play online due to PSN being down.
