LittleBigPlanet 2 now in stores

Sackboy’s newest adventure begins on Playstation 3 today

Posted on
Sony Computer Entertainment today announced the North American release of LittleBigPlanet 2 exclusively for the PlayStation 3.

“Since the launch of LittleBigPlanet, our online community has uploaded over three million levels to the PlayStation Network, with creations popping up everyday that continue to amaze,” said Scott A. Steinberg, vice president, product marketing, SCEA. “With LittleBigPlanet 2, players now have the ability to create actual games across different genres, so it will be very exciting to see what our community can come up with. LittleBigPlanet 2 also boasts a brand new story mode for Sackboy to explore that, coupled with the millions of user-created levels online, provides an endless entertainment experience that can be enjoyed by the entire family.”

LittleBigPlanet 2 begins with a new story mode that provides a beautifully reshaped world for Sackboy to explore. The campaign includes 40 story levels across six different themes; each level influenced by cultural high points in history. Sackboy will also have new tools and equipment to aid him on his journey, including a Grapple Hook, the Grabinator for picking things up and throwing them, and the customizable Creatinator for Sackboy to carry and can spew out anything a creator desires.

With the implementation of a new Create mode, the tools have evolved to allow users to make actual games, not just levels. Players can reset the controller buttons for any object and change the rules to any level using the Controlinator, and new multiplayer abilities advance the types of games possible for a social/competitive experience. Players can create racing games, flying games, shooters, puzzle games, sports games, action/adventure games, and more.

An enhanced Share experience will have gamers spending less time searching and more time playing the millions of levels and games created by fans around the world. With the unveil of LBP.me (http://lbp.me/), a social networking website, every published online level/game will get its own webpage, so users can search/find creations while online at home/work, mark them, and have these favorites queued up and ready to play when you return to your PS3 and sign onto PlayStation Network.

LittleBigPlanet 2 offers four-player offline and online multiplayer, a host of trophies to collect, and is backwards compatible with LittleBigPlanet allowing players to access the more than three million online levels created with the original game.

LittleBigPlanet 2 was developed by Media Molecule, and is in stores today for Playstation 3.
