[edit] Gameplay
As in previous titles in the LittleBigPlanet series, players control a character named Sackboy through a variety of worlds utilising the character's various abilities such as jumping and grabbing objects. It also features various non-platforming mini-games. Numerous multiplayer options are available. As well as up to four-player online competitive or co-op gameplay, the PlayStation Vita's multi-touch display can be used by two players for competitive games. "Pass'n'Play" is also available, enabling turn-based gameplay.[8] The rear touchpanels present on the PlayStation Vita is also used for pushing objects toward the player, creating platforms out of parts of the world.[9]
[edit] Content creation
Players are able to create their own levels and share them online using the PlayStation Network. The PlayStation Vita's touch-screen display can be used to directly draw objects and platforms in the game world. As well as unique creation tools such as these, the game also includes all of the tools available in LittleBigPlanet 2. Costumes used to customise the player's character are transferable between the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita games.[8] Content can also be shared over both Wi-Fi and a 3G network.[9]
[edit] Additional tools and material
The PlayStation Vita version of the game has tools from previous versions of LittleBigPlanet that have been adapted to suit the Vita's control system, as well as new tools. The Controlinator along with The Motion Sensor, The Touch Sensor, The Touch Tweaker, The Touch Cursor, The Layer Tool, provide players with touch controls.
New tools include a tool to make a jelly like substance that Sackboy can pass through and a sticker removal tool.[10]
[edit] Additional content
A pre order bonus with BioShock costumes will be included if the game is preordered. The pack includes a costume of a "Big Daddy" and a "Little Sister". A "Knights Of Old" Pack has also been announced, allowing you to dress as a knight, dragon or a princess.[11]
