Pac-Man Meets Sack Boy
I have to admit that I wasn’t very impressed with Little Big Planet’s first outting. While the game gave us plenty of tools to build with, the platforming aspects of the game seemed a bit tiresome. After merely a week and half — I’m told it took some people less time than that — I found myself placing back on my shelf never to be played again. A shame really, considering all the hard work spent on creating countless user-generated content. Thankfully, the upcoming sequel, Little Big Planet 2, features a bit more than just your typical platforming.
Users are able to create roleplaying games, firrst person shooters, and can even go as far as to replicate classic arcade titles like Pac-Man, shown above. I’m sure there’s some legal issues involved that might prevent levels like these from being published outside the beta, but hopefully Sony and developers will simply see it as a form of flattery.
