Why It Rocks

 * 1) Amazing story that improves over the prequel with it introducing a new cast of charming characters with partial voice acting. The characters are fully animated NPCS and have bigger roles in the story along with more time to show their personality.
 * 2) More tools in create mode such as the ability to move textures, split chunks and changing material colours or the gravity of level.
 * 3) New mechanics, such as bounce pads, the Controllinator, and the Creatinator and other new powerups, changing the gameplay up significantly from the first game.
 * 4) The new worlds are gorgeous, highly memorable and enjoyable to play like steampunk Victoria's mansion or the arcade themed Cosmos. Thanks to said new features, levels are way more diverse in variety in which levels can range from saving robots, to shooter sections with controllable vehicles.
 * 5) New logic gates and the Microchip component allow for very advanced contraptions not seen before, such as moving vehicles, enhanced Sackpersons, and more advanced machinery.
 * 6) Sackbots and the previously mentioned additions allow for cutscenes and movies to be made.
 * 7) If your level is too complex, split it up into multiple levels and connect them up with the new Level Link.
 * 8) The new Music Sequencer allows you to make your own custom music tracks.
 * 9) A new game mode for your level, Versus, where the player with the most points wins.
 * 10) Much more costumes, objects, sounds, stickers, and decorations.
 * 11) You can transfer all your LBP1 goodies you collected in that game over to LBP2.
 * 12) Amazing soundtrack, with almost all of the original songs from the first game along with a selection of new songs.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The multiplayer issue is still present although thankfully levels have double life checkpoints to facilitate this.
 * 2) Just like its predecessor, the load times can take a while.
 * 3) On September 13 2021, the developers announced that LBP's servers on PS3 are shutting down permanently. This was due to modders posting offensive messages and Sony not wanting to patch it. This means that you can no longer download, post levels on official servers or play with your friends online. See here for more details.
