Looks good. I' m glad to see that Sony' s still got a heart for the age-old platformer.

Good find Duffman.

Looks like a great game to get 4 of your friends over to play.

Looks good, like Super Smash Brothers minus the fighting game.

Looks like a lot of fun. I like games like this, sort of Katamari Damacy meets Loco Rocco meets Prince of Persia. Really glad to see a unique game coming out, and having it 4 player single screen to boot. If it' s as smooth as the demo, I can' t wait.

Like a Sony version of Yoshi Story. The graphics, animations and physics look amazing but everything else fails unless you like 2d platformers. The music especially would drive me insane after about 10 minutes.

I' ve just seen the vid and I' m in love with it. A game like that would rock and I don' t know why the idea hasn' t bee explored already. A co-op 4 player side scrolling platform game. It looks beautiful and I really like the music. (It’s by a band called The Go! Team, I have their album, its ace.) The characters look a little odd but I’m hoping you can add your own bits and pieces to them.

The level editing part it a great idea too. Obviously there’ll be some rubbish levels but think of the current Line Rider craze but with some massively impressive levels showing an unfathomable amount of imagination. I really am quite excited about this one.

Yah I watched that after the demo bit of the map in action.

I have to say, I get really excited with this game.

I forget what they called it, but when they were working together and building stuff, the called it " communal design" or something, where friends would bounce idea' s off eachother, and work on eachothers stuff at the same time in the same space. This REALLY REALLY kicks ass IMO.

My long time gamer friend and I have made maps and mods for games on PC since we were kids, and it has always been a blast. Whether it be Moto, Worms, HL1/CS, Carmagedon, Starcraft and RTS games, we always had a shitload of fun, and came up with better stuff than we ever could have by ourselves. I have no doubt that he and I will spend countless hours playing around in this game and making some wacky levels.

I also think having world building in a game so visually appealing, along with physics(it really impresses casual gamers when they see great physics engines), and such unique characters and art direction, that it will draw in a lot of people that normally wouldn' t be interested in designing levels and maps in a game.

After seeing the video Bish posted, I have to say this does look impressive. Even if I don' t like platformers I would have a lot of fun just messing with the creator tools.

I can' t believe with all the games announced for the PS3 it' s this one I' m suddenly the most excited about. MGS4 may be fantastic when it surfaces but LittleBigPlanet (no spaces, right?) simply looks fun.

...it (along with Home) is also a great validation to that Game.3 idea

very impressive if you ask me... ..because you could potentially spend more leisure time in front of your PS3 than you do in-front of your Mac/PC...
