SYDNEY, 20th January 2010 – Sony Computer Entertainment Australia (SCE Aust.) is revelling in the return of Sackboy, the small but mighty star of LittleBigPlanet™, as the much anticipated LittleBigPlanet™2 flies, sings, paints and creates its way back on to PlayStation®3 (PS3™) into stores across Australia today.
With LittleBigPlanet 2 there are no limits to where your imagination can take you. It’s an adventure that will never end as you share your creations with the world. You get to make any game or experience that you like, from customising levels and creating whole new games, to sending Sackbots down the catwalk in a fashion show with a soundtrack you’ve composed yourself.
If this alone hasn’t got your inner creative spirit pumping and ready to play, create and share, we can also now reveal that, along with over 3 million community created levels already available, the LittleBigPlanet 2 levels uniquely created by three of Australia’s cheekiest online personalities are now live on PlayStation®Network and awaiting your download!
Music enthusiast Danny Clayton, takes you on a virtual journey of his experience at a Daft Punk concert in 2007. Popular YouTube commentator, Blunty3000 gives you a glimpse into his day-to-day life as an online video creator challenging you to overcome evil spammers. And finally, Christiaan Van Vuuren, aka The Fully Sick Rapper, takes you on a rollercoaster ride of his time spent in quarantine as you battle viruses and try to escape from the hospital.
You can view all these levels as well the background stories on their development at the LittleBigPlanet 2 YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/littlebigplanet2au. Also, check out the video unveiling the three unique levels: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwSjE-TsUhw
In the world of LittleBigPlanet 2, it’s not just games you can create. You can set up a cookery competition, create a music video or craft homage to your favourite film scene. Design a new space suit for Sackboy, an anti-gravity machine, or a piano that plays itself – anything and everything is within your power. You have stickers, paint, metal, sponges, balloons, springs, engines, plasma rays, electricity and even photos you’ve captured using the PlayStation®Eye Camera.
Furthermore, you might want to give Sackboy a helping hand before you don your creative hat – join him on a crazy science adventure with up to four of your friends as he tries to protect Craftworld from the dreaded Negativitron, a giant, creativity-sucking vacuum cleaner. Bounce, swing and run your way through 50 mind-blowing levels. Create your own way around obstacles with Sackboy’s weird and wonderful Creatinator, or test out a host of nifty new toys like the grappling hook to help you face death-defying swings over hazards, or bounce pads that will fling you up to those hard to reach places.
If you need to give your imagination a break, explore the minds of players from across the globe who are uploading their creations to LittleBigPlanet community via PlayStation®Network. There are already more than three million levels created by players of the first LittleBigPlanet to get you started. Make friends worldwide, and connect through with them all via lbp.me – thanks to community features that help you find the games and players you love.
