Expanded Description Sony's hit platform game that presented players with the tools to create their own levels returns to PlayStation 3 with LittleBigPlanet 2. Over 40 new story levels are included, with six new themes that range from steampunk and "hand-made arcade" to "neon propaganda" and "designer organic." Up to four players can once again work together online or offline, as they participate in new competitive and cooperative modes that incorporate puzzle, racing, action, sports, and adventure mechanics.
Sackboy also has some new tools to use in his travels, including a grappling hook, power gloves, and a "creatinator" that spits out whatever items players desire. The create tools have expanded to allow level designers the ability to reset controller buttons for any object or even alter the rules for any level. Multiple genres are now possible, and computer-controlled Sackboys can be customized in size, appearance, behavior, and given user-created voices. The editing tools can be used to design full-length movies, short films, music videos, or cut-scenes.
All-new materials to work with include plasma, electrical neon, holographic material, and an assortment of stickers, decorations, materials, bolts, rods, and more. Other notable improvements include a revamped graphics engine, new tools to expand and improve level design, and easier access to user-created levels from social networking site, LBP.me. LittleBigPlanet 2 is backwards compatible with the first game's downloadable levels and includes trophy support. As an added bonus, Sackboy's Prehistoric Moves is included on the disc to showcase cooperative play with the PlayStation Move.
This "Special Edition" includes the full original game, a full suite of new "Create" tools designed for use with Move, the "Rise of the Cakeling" expansion, the "Toy Story Level Pack," the "Toy Story Costume Pack," and all 12 outfits from the various pet costume packs.
