Sony: “Don’t be ascared of Little Big Planet.”

Are you intimidated by all that you’ll be able to see and do in Little Big Planet? Don’t be, says Sony. Little Big Planet is tailored for ease of use and maximum fun and hugs.

Sony Producer Pete Smith talked to GameTap about the Little Big Planet’s conception. “We wanted to keep the gameplay simple, but also, the game is quite layered,” he said. “It’s the same with the creation tools. At the start you think, ‘Yeah, that’s easy. I get it. It’s just a 2D platformer.’ Then you start going, ‘I can do that and that and that,’ which is exactly what we wanted.”

There you have it. Official assurance that Little Big Planet will not hide in your closet at night and pant like a blood-thirsty werewolf. Something this cute couldn’t possibly be evil, anyway.

All is well. Be still as I lure you into a false sense of security. Oops, I said the loud part quiet and the quiet part loud.
