LittleBigPlanet is a new, ground-breaking PlayStation®3 (PS3™) game, combining an amazing platform adventure with a huge social community. There are places to explore, creative resources to collect and puzzles to solve – all requiring a combination of brains and teamwork.

But that’s only the beginning. The fun really starts when you begin to build your own LittleBigPlanet. Using an advanced physics system which takes full advantage of the PS3’s power, players have the ability to design, shape and build both objects and entire locations for others to view and play, bringing together for the first time the three biggest elements in gaming - play, create, share. Even the game’s central character Sackboy is customisable.

When your world is ready, you can invite anyone within the LittleBigPlanet community on the PlayStation®Network to come and explore your creations, or go and explore everybody else’s - it’s a brilliant way to meet some new sack-buddies!

LittleBigPlanet, already garnering plaudits as one of the most hotly anticipated titles in video game history - is one of the year’s biggest releases. This October LittleBigPlanet is going to change the world of gaming forever
