LittleBigPlanet 2 has a release date of November 2010 announced Sony.
The game is the sequel to the hit original game which is set to take the franchises to all-new heights as players are given the ability to create entire videogames (multiple levels strung together) in multiple genres (first-person shooters, RPGs, real-time strategy games!) instead of being bound to creating simple platformers.
The game has also been upgraded and enhanced in almost every way possible with all kinds of fun new toys to play around with that allow you to create all-new means of gameplay not available in the first title. Best of all, everything from the first game including any downloadable levels will work with LittleBigPlanet 2! And appear in upgraded form so they look even better visually.
“LittleBigPlanet 2 begins with a unique story mode that provides a beautifully reshaped world for Sackboy to explore and play. Each story level is influenced by cultural high points in history.
Players can reset the controller buttons for any object and change the rules to any level through an ability called Direct Control and multiplayer abilities advance the types of games possible for a social/competitive experience. Users are able to link levels together to provide longer gameplay experiences without the breakup of going back to the Pod and can see what LittleBigPlanet 2 levels/games their friends are playing via activity steams. ”
