LittleBigPlanet 2
LittleBigPlanet 2 is a puzzle platformer video game centered around user-generated content, first announced on May 8, 2010 in the June 2010 issue of Game Informer magazine. The game was developed by Media Molecule and published by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe for the PlayStation 3 console. It is the last major Little Big Planet game in the series to be produced by Media Molecule, as the sequel Little Big Planet 3 will be produced by Sumo Digital, Tarsier Studios and The Station. Unlike the original LittleBigPlanet, which was marketed as a "platform game," LittleBigPlanet 2 was marketed as a "platform for games." The game is 100% backwards compatible with all user-created content (including personal profiles) from the first game. It is a direct sequel to LittleBigPlanet and the third game in the series. The disc also includes Sackboy's prehistoric moves, a ModNation Racers demo and a tutorial video for PlayStation Network.
Story
Players continue Sackboy's journey after the events of the first game and the portable version come to an end. An interdimensional vacuum cleaner named Negativitron appears over the skies of LittleBigPlanet and begins sucking in the inhabitants, including Sackboy. Larry Da Vinci (Robbie Stevens), the leader of a semi-secret, semi-organized group called The Alliance, comes to Sackboy's rescue and saves him from the Negativitron (Jeremy Mayne). The organization's mission is to fight and defeat the Negativitron before it destroys Craftworld (alternate name for the game's setting). After Sackboy passes the tests in Larry's lair, he tells him that they need to get to the lab of Victoria of Bathysphere (Judy Sweeney) because she has built a Sackbot army for the Alliance.
