This bestselling title from Sony Computer Entertainment Australia (SCE Aust.) allows players to build their own levels and share them via PlayStation\u00aeNetwork.

Many are inspired by films, TV shows and games titles, including levels \u201cLittleBigPlanet Takeshi\u2019s Castle\u201d, \u201cLBP Jurassic Park\u201d and \u201cLBP-MotorStorm\u201d, while others use in-game tools to show-off impressive engineering such as the \u201cLittleBigCalculator\u201d, circus-themed \u201cUncle Fritz\u2019s Funhouse Frenzy\u201d or LittleBigPlanet community favorite \u201cHuge Pinball Machine\u201d. Some players create music levels, requiring the player to push buttons to create a song, while Japanese rock-pop group the Beat Crusaders recently developed their music video for Phantom Planet with LittleBigPlanet. Others play tribute to family and friends, hobbies and passions, while levels like \u201cIllumina Garden\u201d come only from the most active imaginations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SYDNEY, 2 April 2009 &#8211; The critically-acclaimed LittleBigPlanet\u2122 for PLAYSTATION\u00ae3 (PS3\u2122) has marked the coming of age of gaming as it moves into a new realm defined by creativity and community.
