LittleBigPlanet, sometimes abbreviated to LBP., is a puzzle platformer and user generated content video game for the PlayStation 3, first announced on March 7, 2007, by Phil Harrison at the 2007 Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, California. It was developed by Media Molecule, and published by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.

The game revolves around the player's control of small avatars, known as Sackboys owing to their appearance, in a variety of platforming scenarios. Though the game features a set of pre-built levels for players to explore, of equal importance is the game's customisable nature, from altering the player's character and personal space, to building entirely new objects and levels, and then sharing and playing them online as part of the LittleBigPlanet community.

[edit] Metal Gear Solid: Paint of the Patriots

On December 24, as part of the weekly DLC for LittleBigPlanet, a Metal Gear Solid 4 costume and level pack was introduced. Available for purchase are 4 Sackboy costumes modeled after Old Snake, Meryl Silverburgh, Screaming Mantis and Cyborg Raiden. Each character costs $2 each. The four costumes will also be available in a pack together for $6 USD.

A level pack will also be available for $6 USD, featuring five pre-made MGS themed levels. A Paintball Gun, named the "Paintinator", will be introduced with the level pack, and 12 additional trophies are also included.

Raiden, Snake, Meryl and Screaming Mantis

Also included with the level pack are:

  • A 5th Sackboy costume based on the Gurlokovich Soldier.
  • 72 New Stickers
  • 12 New Materials
  • 10 New Decorations
  • 18 New objects
  • New background music tracks
  • 3 new interactive music tracks
  • New Metal Gear Solid themed ‘sound object’
  • New Plasma Ball ‘danger element’
  • New Laser Sight ‘gadget’
  • New functioning Searchlight lamp

[edit] Storyline

[edit] Levels

Here is a list of the levels featured in the pack.

  • Act 1: Introduction
  • Act 2: VR Training
  • Act 3: The Mission
  • Act 4: The Level Factory
    • VR Survival Challenge
  • Act 5: The Boss

All was peaceful in the world of LittleBigPlanet, until one day someone started spam posting their level 24 hours a day! It was up to the Sackboys (and Sackgirls) to find who was responsible and stop them with the help of Otacon's VR Training using a new invention: the Paintinator!

After infiltrating the Level Factory, the Sackboys discovered who was behind the level spamming. It was Liquid Ocelot! After a fierce showdown with Metal Gear REX, and destroying the level spamming machines, Liquid admitted that all he wanted was to be loved, if he spammed his level constantly, then more people would want to "Heart" his level.
