Okay, so I've aced all the story levels in LBP2 (twice) and almost gotten all the prize bubbles (just need both sets of 4 player bubbles which i can't get till psn is back online) so I was wandering what you people think. I remember trying to ace all of LBP1 was SUPER frustrating, and took me for ever. You had tons of hard to ace levels, like the bunker, serpent shrine, and the fire jumping score challenge (OMG!) Whereas on LBP2 there really weren't many "hard to ace" levels. I mean I guess Full metal rabbit probably gave me the most trouble, but it still wasn't that bad.. I know I spent a lot more time trying to ace the construction site (not that hard of a level) than I did acing all of LBP2. So I was thinking maybe it is just that my skills at lbp are lightyears ahead of where they were when I was acing all those other levels, but (due to a ps3 issue I would rather not mention) I've been having to go back and play LBP1 again.. and nope It's still harder... Anyway what do you think??

I thought 2 was more difficult than 1. I haven't attempted to ace levels in either, but I had more problem getting through 2. I am terrible at this game though.

My opinion Lbp1 is by far harder to ace than 2. I guess to put it in a way you can understand, I thought 2 was much smoother and 1 was rough around the edges. Not in terms of the game itself. But by the game environments. It was just more raw. In lbp1 there are way more times you can mess up and everything is timing timing timing. If your not good at timing then 1 can be a nightmare. Just think timing: the wheel in bunker, the boss w/timed explosives in serpent shrine, the spinning wheels in the castle level(forgot name), and finally the collector he is all about timing. If you didn't do things in the order the game was made you would fail. At least in lbp2 you can do most things different ways. Yes there is a ton of timing to be done in 2, just not as bad. Lbp2 was a much is easier game but more complicated lol. I am so happy i took the time this weekend and aced both games and Dlc. Actually when we get back online and somebody wants to help on the 4x marvel Dlc. That's all I have left and I am totally done everything. Just a little FYI. Where is the world is Avolan centrifuge was the hardest for me to ace of all time.

I think One was harder than Two... since we are all more skilled than when we first found out about LBP at least a bit, and maybe because there weren't as much levels. Perhaps derailing off the topic a little here, but I also think that LBP1 was that little bit more... fun than LBP2. I mean, LBP2 is absolutely awesa-licious but I think that LBP1 is maybe equal, if not more fun because it was when we were all newbies, when we were all struggling our way through the gardens trying to grab anything but the block of sponge, or only getting 100 points before being blown off in Tie Skipping lol . It might have been because we didn't know what to expect from the game, where-as now we have all this talk of Larry Da Vinci and the Negativitron even before LBP2 was released, so we knew the characters and story were like.

Ok, so I started backwards. I bought LBP2 first and then just recently got 1. Since I already aced LBP2 in what seemed like no time at all. (This was on an alternate account. 3 away on new name.) LBP1 seems alot harder to ace. There are so many levels where it seems like they are out to get you. Although, Full Metal Rabbit is my rival. But still, In my opinion I'd have to say 1 is more of a challenge to ace then 2. Especially the Collector's levels and the Construction site and Subway level.

The most hard levels to ace are "LBP1 the bunker" and "LBP2 Where In The World Is Avalon Centrifuge?" almost ever other level were a cake walk~ But yeah, LBP2 may be just little more easy then 1 tho. *mew

I personally had a harder time acing the story levels in LBP1 than LBP2. However, I didnt think that "The Bunker" was the most difficult stage in LBP1. "The Bunker" was hard but I had a tougher time with "Sensei's Lost Castle" and the "Collector's Lair." I do have to say though that "Where In The World Is Avalon Centerfuge" in LBP2 made me pull my hair out. Lastly, the final boss in LBP2 was a lot tougher to ace than the final boss in LBP1..........

I would have to say LBP1, Especially "The Bunker"

@Denim... Yea I totally agree with you. When LBP1 released the most I had seen about it was a 5 minute video on G4 where they showed part of a level that later became Skate to the finish. I thought "that looks neat, maybe I'll check it out" and then the delay that had to do with the music? and then when It was released it was epic new and different... Part 2 was delayed FOREVER, and for like 8 months in advance of the release I was getting any news I could about it. So other than a couple of different changes to the levels I saw, and the majority of Eve's asylum (which I never really saw in any videos or prerelease stuff) there wasn't really much that was "unexpected" or "surprising". back to being ontopic @Metalpunks... Yea the timing thing has a lot to do with it. Plus I haven't had a glitch kill me yet in LBP2... Part 1 killed me all the time with glitches. Or the game would just break and become unbeatable. This happened to me twice fighting zapido or W.e. trying to ace the serpent shrine.. I would get him with the first 2 or 3 bombs, he would run away, but the barrier would still be there and I had to restart. BTW the first time through Where is Avalon was one of the hardest to ace, but second time around its not as bad as F.M.R. I think its just because I got tons of practice on that one... (Kinda like how I can still ace the bunker almost every time I play it, from practice) Another thing that made lbp1 more difficult was that for the ace trophy it required you to ace any level that was possible to ace (including score challenges) I know that most challenges on part 2 are either survival challenges or not hard at all to ace, you don't have the fire pits, or the level with all the wheels you get from boomtown..

Oh god, Boomtown. Thanks for bringing back the memories of trying to ace that level... I almost twisted my controller in half out of frustration. Stupid moving stalactites... ANd that one little bump in the floor! WHY IS THAT BUMP IN THE FLOOR!? ANd the fact that you have to ace the whole level leading up to it, just to get blown up by being a tiny tiny bit off during the very last section. I was sweating bullets every time in that section... There was really none of that in LBP2, most levels were relatively easy to ace. FMR gave me some trouble with the tracking laser beams but once you get the timing down they can be beaten. Other than that it was a cakewalk. I also found the final boss of the Serpent Shrine relatively easy to ace once you got the pattern down. It was the rest of the level that was the problem. ANd the stupid electrified wheel in The Bunker was enough to make me chew my own arm off in rage. But by far the worst offender in unbeatability was the stupid Sensei's Castle level just because there were so many cheap deaths. Like the chain lift over the electric clouds, that part was so hard to time. ANd the freaking two sumo guys, I kept getting caught inside their arms and squished by said arms flailing about like mega retardo-copters. But not just deaths were hard about that level. The stupid rollers... I HATE those stupid rollers. Especially trying to climb them in that huge room where they slide back and forth... I fell so many times off them, and opted to pop rather than try to climb my way back up. While the super-cheap deaths of boomtown were beyond frustrating, the rollers still haunt my nightmares.

Where in the World is Avalon Centrifuge continues to be the only LBP2 level I haven't aced. Those heat seeking cannons are always the death of me (whereas the huge robot is super easy)

All the LBP1 levels were pretty easy for me. The bunker was a little tough, but I got through it. On LBP2 though, I HATED Where in the World is Avalon Centrifuge. Those flamethrowers at the end... Grrrr

Finally beat Where in the World.....and have now aced everything

LBP 1 was harder for me, but It'sTrue because 'm Gold at the game now before the launch of LBP 2 I played all the story mode, and in The Bunker were I died many times one year ago, I aced it! In mu first try! After that I thinked that I'm now a LBP ninja!

LBP1 is definitely harder in my opinion. I feel like all the new upgrades made 2 a lot easier. I mean with 1 you had to grab everything exactly and couldn't be off by an inch. Now in 2 you can just get a grappling hook, jump anywhere near the object, and you are almost certainly going to grab it. The creatinator also makes it easier to kill badguys. No more having to touch their bubbles to kill them. Simply shoot them from a distance.

I think that in LBP1 there were more things that would punish you for making one mistake.

I personally found LBP2 a lot easier to ace then LBP1.

Acing LittleBigPlanet 1 was a nightmare. LBP1 did have a lot to do with timing and instantly punished you for making a mistake. LBP1 was also more raw and rough whereas LBP2 was more polished and consequently easier. I personally had a greater tine playing through and acing LBP2 because I loved the polish.

Just a little FYI. Where in the world is Avolan centrifuge was the hardest for me to ace of all time. lol funny thing is, i aced it without even relising it. i went into the level to colect all the goodies, i didn't even pay attention until i got to the end of the level and it said "ACED LEVEL" i spazed for about two minutes after that. XD so ya, i think lbp1 was harder in gameplay aspect, and lbp2 in the logic and create mode. gameplay because for the whole time i played lbp2 i've yet to repeat a story lvl due to running out of lives. create/logic because i once looked at this dudes level, and you could say my exploded after that... so many WIRES..... *shudders* ...lol... ...ps: i really can't spell XD

Little Big Planet 1 was by far harder. In that one I didn't even bother trying to ace the levels, it was too much work, and I occasionally hit a level that I had to play repeatedly to get past it, and it took me about 10 hours(?) to complete. In Little Big Planet 2 the levels were much smoother and I only had problems with the final boss, but the second time around I got it fine. I could ace it if I put in effort but I get too bored replaying the levels, and the story took me about 3 hours(?) to complete. Little Big Planet 2 was easier in difficulty, definitely.

LBP2 seems easier. I think it has to do with vehicles cutting down Sackperson's number of effective deaths (due to the health bar), and the relatively quick learning curve of LBP2 for a veteran of LBP1. I have to admit the grappling hook took me a bit to get the hang of - no pun intended - but everything else was pretty much the exact same. I wound up acing several story levels without realizing it on my first playthrough.

LBP1 was WAYYYY harder than LBP2

The first one because it was longer.

No more having to touch their bubbles to kill them. Simply shoot them from a distance. ^This. By making the power-ups more diverse and useful they cleaned up the difficulty. Also, LBP 1 was very much an "It'll do" game *** far as story went, as in it was designed to be challenging while LBP2 was designed more mainstream with a wider appeal.

LBP1 at the time was new, and not very many of us became good at it in a couple of tries. I would have to say LBP1 was harder to ace than LBP2. I was not really skilled, which may have contributed to the difficulty of acing all of the levels in LBP1. Well look at all of us now. All of us are much more skilled. The additional power-ups and the controlinater has helped a LOT to acing LBP2. The only problem is the ace whatever number of story levels in a row. THAT ONE IS KILLING ME.

I agree, I think LBP1 one is harder but that's just me... I mean my brother aced both games and got all the prizes for LBP2 in a short time so most people might say something different. (BTW you didn't have to ace the fire jumping challenge cuz it's just a minigame)

I find LBP1 more difficult. The physics are slightly different and cannot be altered. If you fall, you can't rely on a bounce pad or anti-gravity, you just die. It's simpler. It's realistic and crafty. LBP2 is only easier because of the new addition of tools, logic, and physics. But if you ever find yourself about to die...... ...put on yer cool face And then die.

Bounce pads made the game easier in that there's more room for error in the jumping, you could do a few bounces before going for it, line yourself up. That was impossible in LBP1. Plus, LBP2 uses double-life checkpoints when LBP only uses the single, more room for error.

id say there both equally as hard but lbp1 is the hardest. I hated boom town and the bunker I can ace in 2 tries. but with lbp2 the last boss almost made me sezure. Also I hate fireflies in eves levels. also it only took my 3 days to ace all levels in lbp2 and lbp1 took longer.

I found the Negativitron Boss fairly easy, it took me one go. But the Hardest are Full Metal Rabbit, Where is Avalon and That bee one. They are so difficult.

I really think that they babied the players this time around. A lot of the obstacles were given to you. In LBP1 if you didn't have the timing needed to get by, you wouldn't. Now you can rely on some sort of gimmick to help you out. As far as difficulty goes LBP1 > LBP2

2011-07-17 13:09:00 Author: Captain_Dinosaur Posts: 214

Well, many of LBP1 and 2 levels rely on rythm and decorating patterns to ace, like Serpent Shrine and the Negativitron. I had more trouble with levels whose enemies and contraptions you couldn't predict so easily, like Full Metal Rabbit, the Collector, and Where in the World is Avalon Centrifuge.

I happened to find those levels quite easy.... The hardest level in LBP1 was the wheel. (At least for me.) LBP2 I'd have to say....none are particularly hard. (Even though I'm too lazy to Ace story mode )

It's far beyond the capabilities of the average gamer to get all the bubbles form the Gobotron level alone. I know I had to go with two buddies to get them all and even then it was giving us a hard time. I also don't know how the massive lag didn't get us killed in the first minute.

2011-07-17 18:25:00 Author: SnipySev Posts: 2452

also think that LBP1 was that little bit more... fun than LBP2. I mean, LBP2 is absolutely awesa-licious but I think that LBP1 is maybe equal, if not more fun because it was when we were all newbies, when we were all struggling our way through the gardens trying to grab anything but the block of sponge, or only getting 100 points before being blown off in Tie Skipping lol . It might have been because we didn't know what to expect from the game, where-as now we have all this talk of Larry Da Vinci and the Negativitron even before LBP2 was released, so we knew the characters and story were like. I very much agree with this....I also feel that LBP1 had more of an.....almost more of an innocence, you know? Think of the end goal, how the LBP2 goal was so much more, I dunno, mature, whereas LBP1 was so...well, as previously mentioned, innocent! I don't wanna spoil anything, so I'll leave it at that. XD Cheers, flyinhawaiian

Just a little FYI. Where is the world is Avolan centrifuge was the hardest for me to ace of all time. yup, only lvl to give real trouble, had to retry 30 times probably and the annoying part was id often die to something silly, carry on the lvl for practice and not die again, so practically acing, without acing. Ofc now I can do it with my eyes closed! Can't wait to go back to lbp1 to ace and collect all =)

2011-07-19 19:50:00 Author: Masseyf Posts: 226

Without a doubt, LBP 1 was more difficult then LBP 2. Why? Well, let's just say that in the first game, you had to rely on timing a lot more than in LBP 2. You really had to time your jumps, be patient and deal with the pressure after passing through a really hard part. In the second game, there were often things around that could help you out, so platformerwise it was not at all that difficult.

yeah I think it was more difficult in LBP1. I learned a few more words with the bunker. I just finally aced where in the world is avalon centrifuge yesterday. all the other ones were fairly easy, but this one gave me a lot of grief for some reason.

LBP 1 was far harder than LBP 2, but I think LBP 2 funnier and there is more creative stuff to make in The Moon . Also think that are using to many "tiny" cheats like the costumes levels. Where people don't have to ace any level or play them and get every single costume! I didn't thought Serpent Shrine harder, but The Bunker is a totally different story I had to stop playing like for 1 month and then play it again to pass it!!! The Collector I passed it on my second time. On LBP 2 the hardest level for me was Gobotron (still didn't get the last bubble machine), mostly because usually I play alone. The "Where in a world is Avalon Centifuge" was kinda hard, and the "Full Metal Rabbit" wasn't hard, at least for me! The Negativitron (last level) was hard to memorize the pattern, but I did it!

Plus, LBP2 uses double-life checkpoints when LBP only uses the single, more room for error. Um, when I had LBP1, there were double-ring checkpoints AND infinite-life checkpoints (after I got the creator pack). I got the GOTY edition, is that why?

It officially took me 6 weeks to complete The Bunker. I did not bother trying to ace it.:d evious::deviou s: On a lighter note, I agree with practically everyone, LBP1 was definitely harder than LBP2. 1 would always punish you for mistakes, and the introduction was so plain. And as for two, it had credits! Awesome credits!!

2011-07-29 12:40:00 Author: Protoraptor Posts: 960

I think they changed the single life ones with double life checkpoints with some patch a while ago, but I had the same as Tecnoguy. Plus, once you had the red flashing checkpoint and got to another checkpoint, you wouldn't get your full ampount of lives back and it would remain red and flashy. I believed they fixed that not too long ago, as I recall struggling with that maybe a year back. Anyway, when it only just came out LBP 1 had indeed only single life checkpoints, which made the Bunker even harder to complete, let alone ace.

LBP1 is definetly more difficult, it also feels much more rough in its designs then LBP2's more padded levels. I actually aced the bunker and the negativitron on my first attempt to ace them, yet the collectors lair and victorias levels took me forever.

2011-07-31 07:04:00 Author: DarrienEven Posts: 217

---

One was difficult mainly cause it required skill unlike LBP2 which uses more logic and mechanics rather than platforming...but that's my opinion. Remember The Wilderness? Those were very difficult levels, I had a lot of trouble with The Bunker...as for the boss I can't say the same, cause I aced it on my first try when I needed to collect everything again.

lbp1 was harder but i noticed in davinci and victora lvls the boss was harder then the the factory boss it was just the wedding theme boss from lbp1 again but easier

I found that LBP1 was alot harder than LBP2. LBP1 took me three years to platinum but only took me 4 months on LBP2. They should of made it a bit harder.

2011-08-02 10:02:00 Author: POOP2002 Posts: 20

I'm going to go ahead and say that they're about equal difficulty but with LBP2 being slightly harder overall. Certainly LBP1 seemed harder to me when I first started than when I played LBP2, but that was naturally down to experience. When I went back to play LBP1 a couple of days ago, I thought 'Hey, this isn't as tough as I remembered'. Since then, in two days, I've aced all but three levels (the multiplayer challenges not done due to not having other players, but this is the case for LBP2 as well). There were levels that were tough to do it for (Dancer's Court, Serpent Shrine and Construction Site [the lattermost purely for Ze Dude] were the notable ones), but that still is more aced levels than I have in LBP2. I guess part of the reason is that the LBP2 levels are just so much...shorter. Most of the time, when I got to the end for the first time in a good while for LBP1, I was just wondering how other people found it so laborious.

I don't think either game is particularly difficult (never understood why people found levels like The Bunker so difficult?), but I think that LBP1 is possibly slightly harder. Although that could simply be down to the fact it was new when I first played it, and now I'm used to the slightly floaty physics. This talk of the LBP1 story makes me want to play it again so much. Serpent Shrine is still my favourite level. Ever. Btw, I think that LBP1 took me about 7-8 months to Platinum, and I still haven't managed it for LBP2. I've been waiting for the final two trophies for about 4 months now, though
