General gameplay of LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet is a platformer with a heavy emphasis on customization and making your own content. The game will come with a set of in-house developed platform levels and minigames which you can play but also copy, make it better and share it with others. Or if none of those levels are
your cup of tea, build your own from the ground up. Everything you see in the pre-made levels will be available for you, along with many other stuff. Your creativity is the limit. Build your own enemies, your own tank or your own fortress with a nice river made of flames.
Make your level challenging so people will be fighting to get first in your level. With just a few button presses you can add a start line, finish line and an online scoreboard. Reward your players with all kinds of stuff you think they deserve. Build up a reputation as a level builder and get your
very own beta team to try out your latest levels before the public gets to. Or if you don't want all the attention, invite a few friends and let them mess around in your level while you're creating it! - Make that wall a bit higher please!
Even if you're not a big platform fan you can still enjoy this game by making your own minigames. Again, your creativity it's the limit!
