Update 6/16/2014. See LittleBigPlanet 3. Sackboy has never had it better than in this second edition of LittleBigPlanet. There's a new story mode, with a bigger, reshaped world (Sackboy is the lead character and your avatar). Our testers found the game easier to get started with, and had a hard time leaving this game. Content includes 40 new story levels across six themes. A new Create Mode lets you make better levels and new games across multiple genres. Some features have been simplified. You can reset the controller button for any object and change the rules to any level using Direct Control. Other new features include four-player offline/online multiplayer that lets you include scoreboards and other elements in your creations. There are new gadgets including a grappling hook for swinging, and power gloves for picking items up and throwing them; Customizable Sackbots; a cinematic cut-scene maker; new create materials including Filters, Plasma, and Electrical Neon; and new create tools including a Level Link Badge to jump from level to level. LittleBigPlanet 2 works with content from the first edition, allowing you to play in the online community levels created with the original game.
