LAN or Systemlink: Co-Op Play is available over a Local Network or System Link Connection. Most likely a router will be required, but you may use a crossover cable in some cases.

Drop-In/Drop-Out: Players can join or leave a cooperative game session at anytime without disrupting an existing player's game.

Little Big Planet isn't so much a game as it is an interactive community playground. In fact, I don't even know how to begin to describe it. The game is whatever players make it to be. With up to 4 players working together to solve puzzles, build worlds, compete in races, and more; LBP is an incredibly ambitious title.

Great game for local co-op. Online co-op with strangers works pretty well, but one person has control over which level is played so there is a leader and follower relationship. The game is tricky and some of the levels are frustratingly difficult. I have gotten most of the collectables from the story mode and after I get the rest I'm not sure if the user created levels are enough to make me keep the game. If one gets into the user creation stuff I think this game shows its true value. Otherwise, it is a decent, if floaty, platformer, with tons of personality.

"I first played LBP with my fiance and thought it was a blast. Then I played with with my 14-year-old and her friend and it was even more fun. This weekend, we played it with a friend's 12- and 7-year old kids. It was a freaking laugh riot. This has really been one of the very few games I've found where age and gaming skill level don't matter. Everyone has had fun with it. Even though the 7-year-old had some problems with the trickier platforming sections, the many frequent respawn points meant the rest of us could get through a hard part, then she could join back in. LPB succeeds on so many levels. Graphically, it takes side scrolling platformers to a new level. The gameplay execution is near flawless. The music and sound dead perfect for the game. The only knock on it, for me, is that the included campaign is rather short. The user created levels can certainly extend play for many months to come, but I appreciate the multiple levels spanning a theme that the designers made. This is a must buy for coop players, especially those with kids."
how do you play local co-op with your friends and family i've been trying to play on the same ps3 as my friend but the manage players option in the start menu has a line through it an is disabled.
what do i do?

How do you play co-op offline, like with your family. I've connected other controllers and tried multiple places where they could join but no luck. But over all the game is an excellant peice. Its got awsome graphics and i very appropriate for everyone who can play the game. Its a child friendly game. Most games that are "all that" are high rated games, but this is fun, cool, and ok for everyone to play.
