In-depth LittleBigPlanet Hands-on

So over at LittleBigPlanet Central, ConfusedCartman goes and gets his hands on LittleBigPlanet at Comic-Con five times. So he’s got this game down now!

Just some nice nit-picks:

– There is a Tron suit you can wear in the game, along with a killzone helmet and mask.
– Not only that, but there are about 25 different materials and designs that you can choose to have your sackboy made out of, including 3 types of camo.
– There are held items that you can choose from, such as a wooden sword and a magic wand(a stick with a star on the top). You can’t use them as weapons, but when you slap while holding an item you hit them with said item.

– For those of you that don’t know, you can switch back and forth between flying and running around by pressing *down* on the d-pad.
– Anything you can think of, you can make. Just be careful when making a “Sonic” level or a “Mario” level, because that won’t fly on the servers. Name it something generic that won’t warrant deletion.
– The size of your crater on the moon corresponds directly with the amount of items you can place on a level. This way you can have a minigame taking up a small crater, while a full, hour long level would take up one of the largest craters.

– The developers love to hide goodies that you have to find later. I didn’t notice all the stuff I could eventually collect until the third playthrough. If you’ve ever played Portal, and you know that usually there is more than one way to beat a level, the same applies here. The more difficult task you accomplish, the more collectibles they reward you with.

And then as for emotions in the game, you can use the D-pad’s up, left, down or right to change the mood of your Sackboy and you can press each up to three times, sad, angry, happy or fearful. Pressing and holding R2 and L2 allow you to move the Analog Sticks with their corresponding direction. The SIXAXIS allows you to move the head and when pressing L3, you can move Sackboy’s hips!
