What is LBP?LBP is a platform game based on the awsome character sackboy. You can play
community levels, story levels or even create your own. Get creative and get
ready!
Story plot (WARNING: Wall of text)LittleBigPlanet is a world full of creations made by the eight Creator
Curators. However, the eighth Creator, a rogue Creator called "the Collector" is
stealing the other Creators' creations and not sharing them with the world
(sharing is one of the core elements of LittleBigPlanet), and later, the Creators
themselves.
The player starts out at The Gardens level, where the player's Sackperson meets
the King, one of the Creators, the Queen, Little Xim and Big Xam, in charge of the
Mini Levels; and their servant Dumpty. The player heads for the Savannah, where
the next ruler, Zola, resides. When the player accidentally breaks one of Zola's
statues, the player is asked to investigate what's scaring his buffalo; in return
for his forgiveness. The culprits turn out to be fire and crocodiles, and the
player has to clear a crocodile's name accused of eating Meerkat Mum's son, Stripy
Tail. The player finds out that Stripy Tail is actually at a club with some female
meerkats, underground where the meerkats live. After the player returns Stripy
Tail to Meerkat Mum, the player does a favor for one of Zola's servants and goes
to The Wedding (a story arc with a Day of the Dead theme), where his friend,
Frida, is about to wed with her bridegroom, Don Lu. However he's gone missing;
therefore the wedding is at stake. Later, with the help of his dog, the player
finds him in a dark cave. Don Lu explains to the player that he got lost, and got
tired that he couldn't find his way out. Getting him back to the wedding, Frida
thinks he jilted her at the altar, gets her Skulldozer, and starts to bulldoze
everything in sight. However, when she sees her bridegroom waiting for her, she
realises it was just a silly misunderstanding, forgets everything, and they wed.
Don Lu takes the player to the Canyons, where Frida and Don Lu have their
honeymoon and the player meets Uncle Jalapeño. The player frees Uncle Jalapeño,
who was put in prison unfairly by the evil Sheriff Zapata. Uncle Jalapeño
throughout the Canyons levels teaches the player about explosives. After the
player chases Sheriff Zapata into a temple and defeats him, Uncle Jalapeño takes a
vacation into the Metropolis, taking the player with him, where they meet Uncle
Jalapeño's friend, Mags the Mechanic. She trades the player for a new car for
Uncle Jalapeño's car, and the player can edit the car to their liking. The player
next races Mags's nemesis, Ze Dude, who stole her car, and after the race drives
it into the sewer. The player then goes into the sewer and retrieves her car, then
stops Ze Dude and his bouncers, who were wrecking Mags's construction site. Ze
Dude, defeated, praises the player as a worthy foe, and lets the player take his
private jet to the Islands to train with Grandmaster Sensei, his martial arts
teacher. Grandmaster Sensei trains the player to defeat the evil Sumo, who took
over Grandmaster Sensei's castle and her talking flame-throwing cat; and the
Terrible Oni, with the help of her cat.
From there the player goes to the Temples, to get their very own talking flame-
throwing cat, the Great Magician's latest creation, who is the master of emitters.
After speaking to The Goddess at the end of the Dancer's Court she guides the
player to The Magician himself. After the player overcomes his toughest obstacles,
he asks to defeat the Collector, which would be the player's "greatest challenge".
The player, with some help from the general and a bear whose family the Collector
has kidnapped, infiltrates the Collector's bunker, gets past his army, and frees
the following who were kidnapped by the Collector and locked up: The King and
Queen, Big Xam, Little Xim, Zola, one of Zola's servants, Meerkat Mum and her
babies, Don Lu and Frida, Don Lu's dog, Uncle Jalapeño, Mags the Mechanic with Ze
Dude and one of Ze Dude's bouncers, Grandmaster Sensei, The Goddess, The Magician,
and the bear's family. As everyone escapes, they thank the player, and wish him
good luck as the player goes to confront the Collector. After the final big boss
battle with the Collector, the Collector is revealed to be a little, lonely man
who only kidnapped everyone because he didn't have any friends, and hides in
shame. However, everyone, including the player, offers to be his friend. He
accepts, and everyone holds hands, beginning a new friendship.The sequel
The sequel is coming soon to the PS3 and its hot! The story follows as
Happy that no more demands are being made to him after his successful adventure to return sharing to LittleBigPlanet, it’s all going swimmingly for Sackboy... That is, until a some kind of inter-dimensional, hyper-spatial, 1800 watt Vacuum Cleaner appears in the skies, causing quite the ruckus and sucking Sackboy up into its musty bowels. All jolly sinister and most inconvenient.
Happily, a jolly nice fellow named Larry Da Vinci intervenes and rescues him from what has come to be known as The Sucker. Da Vinci, it turns out, is in charge of “The Alliance”, a semi-secret, semi-organised group devoted to fighting The Sucker before it destroys the whole Cosmos.You’re about to get recruited, I’ll bet my teeth! A grand adventure is afoot, with a butt-load of new themes, toys, enemies and all manner of shenanigans.

Introducing the Extended LittleBigPlanet Family
Mm was founded four years ago by a group of friends with an intention make innovative and creative games, and to do so in a small team to retain a close knit family vibe.
When we released LittleBigPlanet in 2008, our plans to remain small were shot out of the window somewhat, as we were swept up in a torrent of love and excitement that you guys had for our game! Thanks to all that love and support, we’ve been working flat out to update LittleBigPlanet, create an absolute ton of DLC, and all the while work on LittleBigPlanet 2, which we’ve nearly finished!
To do all that at the same time would be a momentous task for any team, let alone an ‘ickle one, and so we’ve had to expand a bit. We still managed to stay small enough to keep the family vibe alive however, there are about 40 of us now, which is tiny as far as development studios go! So how on earth did we manage to stay true to our ideals of staying small, and get all of that done at once?!
Well, we did it all with more than a little help from our friends. The folks below are our much loved extended family, the unsung heroes of LittleBigPlanet. We’d really like you to meet them, so please allow us to introduce you all to the full LittleBigPlanet team!
Testology
http://www.testology.co.uk
Without these guys, we’d never have shipped LittleBigPlanet! A permanent fixture in the studio, the Testology gang form the majority of our QA testers here. Testology are an award winning QA outsourcing company, founded by former Lionhead employees, just like us.
Tarsier Studios
http://www.tarsier.se
We first formed a friendship with Tarsier when they started work on the PSN re-imagining of Rag Doll Kung Fu, but it wasn’t long before we roped them into helping us out with making various DLC Packs for LittleBigPlanet. Hundreds of costumes and assets later, and after putting together the LittleBigPlanet Playground for PlayStation Home they have recently been busy with some mind-blowing costumes for LittleBigPlanet2!
Fireproof Studios
http://fireproofstudios.com
Fireproof are based just around the corner from us, and have been responsible for rendering those fabulous backgrounds we’ve been putting in our DLC packs; from the Metal Gear Solid Level Kit, all the way through to the recent Marvel Level Kit, if a pack has included a background, chances are Fireproof made it for us. Their new backgrounds for LittleBigPlanet 2 are simply stunning, just you wait!
Leading Light
http://www.leadinglightdesign.com
Leading Light first started to work with us on the History pack designing some fab-tabulous stickers, and have had their sticker sets included in many of our DLC releases since. They are another Guildford based company, which is really very handy indeed.
Supermassive Games
http://www.supermassivegames.com
Supermassive are yet another local gang, just a stone’s throw from here. These guys were the creative talent behind the levels from numerous DLC kits, such as the Pirates of the Caribbean and the recent Marvel pack, they are also working on the bonus Move levels that will ship with LittleBigPlanet 2!
Maverick Media
http://www.maverickmedia.co.uk
Maverick worked with us to film the footage used in the intro video, and the in-game tutorial videos for both LittleBigPlanet and LittleBigPlanet 2. We have been known to call them the Maverick Angels!
You!
Then of course there’s you… LittleBigPlanet has more content to play than pretty much any other video game out there, and that’s all down to you and the incredible things you create. You’re a much loved part of our extended family too, so pop on over for a cup of tea any time! Not all at once though. :)

Important news regarding the release date of LittleBigPlanet™2
LittleBigPlanet 2 is a crazy dream, a dream to allow players to make whatever kind of game they want, but also to play though a great adventure of drama and excitement, power-ups, and cinematics. But like all of the most ambitious ideas, it can be a considerable challenge to turn these dreams in to fun games. We’ve all been working like powered-up space ninjas and we’re almost there, but because we love what we’ve made, and we love our little sack-friends, and most of all we love all our fans out there, we couldn’t let you all get together until we knew we were giving you the best experience imaginable. Which is why we’ve taken the hard decision to delay the worldwide release of LittleBigPlanet 2, originally slated for later this year to January 2011.
We know this will come as disappointing news for all you LittleBigPlanet fans, and believe us, we are disappointed too. We are a tight-knit team and we take enormous pride in our work, so to raise the bar we’ve set with the original LittleBigPlanet, a game that has been so embraced by all, we’ve agreed to allow ourselves a bit more time to deliver the experience that our great fans and community deserve. We are truly sorry, but hope you understand that we have to build the best possible game, as it is the foundation of our community.
On the upside, we are going to find a way to give more of you a taste of LBP2 prior to launch, so stay tuned.
Thanks for your continued love and support, it won’t be long – we promise.
Lots of love from all at Mm
