A Whole New LittleBigPlanet Adventure
-------------------------------------
Join Sackboy in a completely new platforming adventure, spread
across 50 levels.
Some time has passed since the events of the original game and
its PSP sequel and Craftworld is in trouble. An evil device,
force, thingy known as "The Negativitron" is threatening to suck
up everyone and everything, including Sackboy, into the void.
Only an intervention by a rebel organization known as "The
Alliance" saves our hero. And with that Sackboy decides to lend
his creative platforming powers to the cause. Along the way he'll
discover new abilities, gadgets, gameplay rules and innovative
tools to get the job done.

A Platform for Games
--------------------
LittleBigPlanet 2 is about more than a game storyline. It is
about player creativity. Loaded with a powerful new set of tools
that vastly widen the of possibilities in-game,
LittleBigPlanet 2 moves far beyond familiar level editing and
delivers the power to literally create whole games. It is in
fact, a platform for games. Whether you are talking racing games,
mini-games, action/adventure games and even multiplayer shooters,
using the Direct Control feature you can create/recreate a
ping for objects and abilities from the Sixaxis controller for
use directly in gameplay. You can also link levels to extend the
fun and/or create a new gameplay experience. Bring your
characters to life, compose your own music, direct cinematic
masterpieces, wire controllers directly in to your contraptions,
connect easy to use switches, microchips and circuit boards to
build epic bosses, vehicles, machines, and puzzles. All the tools
are at your fingertips. And with custom heads-up displays (HUDs)
for scoring and game data exported to a game ending grid,
allowing winners in created multiplayer games to celebrate while
nents look on in shame, the sky is truly the limit.

-------------------------
LittleBigPlanet 2 is fully backwards compatible to the original
game. With millions of creations existing in the LittleBigPlanet
universe and millions more to come, finding the experience you're
looking for is important. With that in mind the developers of
LittleBigPlanet 2 have expanded Share functionality to enhance
