Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment America Developer: Media Molecule Platform: PlayStation 3 (PS3) Genre: Creative Gaming P_layer_s: 1-4 P_layer_s Rating: RP for Rating Pending Overview Developed by Media Molecule, LittleBigPlanet is a new PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system community-_base_d game with a hugely innovative concept behind it. P_layer_s meet on a blue and green planet scattered with individual plots – and use their character’s amazing abilities to play, create and share what they build with other gamers throughout the world via PlayStation Network. The LittleBigPlanet experience starts with p_layer_s learning about their character’s powers to interact physically with the environment. There are places to explore, creative resources to collect and puzzles to solve – all requiring a combination of brains and collaborative teamwork. As soon as p_layer_s begin their creative skills will grow and they will soon be ready to start creating and modifying their surroundings – the first step to sharing them with the whole community. Characters have the power to move anything in this glued and stitched-together 3D landscape; they have the power to design, shape and build both _object_s and entire locations for others to view and play. There’s no complicated level editor; all of these skills can be learned by simply playing the game. Creativity is part of the gameplay experience and playing is part of the creative experience. P_layer_s can make their world as open or as secretive to explore as they like. When it’s ready, they can invite anyone within the LittleBigPlanet community to come and explore their patch – or can go and explore everybody else’s. Feature # There’s not just one way to play.
