Sony today announced the North American release of the highly-anticipated LittleBigPlanet, exclusively for PLAYSTATION 3.
In LittleBigPlanet, players start by entering Story Mode and can begin playing the first of 50 pre-loaded levels to learn the various game play mechanics, tools and more. Players quickly begin unlocking various tools and accessories needed to customize their own creations and levels. Soon after, players can access the simple level editor to begin their own creation process, building everything from large, complex environments, clever mini-games to even smaller objects such as wall graffiti or rocket-propelled vehicles. Additionally, LittleBigPlanet supports the PLAYSTATION Eye Camera so players can take photos of real-life objects or creations and import the images to the virtual levels they are creating.
The impressive thing about LittleBigPlanet is the fact that the the tools provided to the player are the same design tools, materials and stickers Media Molecule built the actual game with. All that time spent on creatnig an awesome level won't go to waste however, as the game includes the ability so share your creations with the LittleBigPlanet community online via PlayStation Network.
Not only can players publish their original levels for everyone around the world to see, but players can also provide feedback on shared levels that they have played. Additionally, LittleBigPlanet features a tagging system where players can choose from an infinite catalogue of "tags" that place their customized level in a specific category, so when players search for levels in a "tag" category, their level will automatically appear.
Adding to the fun, LittleBigPlanet also features cooperative multiplayer gameplay allowing up to four players the opportunity to play and complete their levels offline with friends at home or play online with other members of the community.
