You’ll build a lot of, er… things during your first few days with LittleBigPlanet. If the public beta has proven anything, it’s that the world’s first inclination is to build an object – be it cube, arrow, or penis – and attach engines to it, just to see what happens. The initial stages will be spent dropping weird objects into barren wastelands and experimenting with how physics affect it once you hit the gas. Try setting up a winch that propels Sackboys hundreds of feet into the air and then into a wall of spikes at breakneck speed like a fuzzy-felt trebuchet. The options are virtually unlimited.
Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither are the finest creations in LittleBigPlanet. It’ll be hard graft to build Insomniac-quality, or even Media Molecule-quality levels, but it’s possible. Critically, giving life to worlds is fun; LBP’s level editor could have been a cumbersome chore, but instead, it’s as much fun to sit and build as it is to run around the completed work. The Popit menu (tap Square) works beautifully, every new object comes with its own tutorial, and a tap of Start will let you jump into and play your level at any time.
