What SPORE did for Civilization-type games, LittleBigPlanet is going to do for platformers. Nobody will play the game the same way you do, and the longer you play, the more the game will become a unique reflection of your own creativity and the things YOU find fun. Joe, June, Jane and Jack can play it some stupid boring way, but you can skip all those parts and just bring the FUN ones into the game. Or make your own. Or take someone else’s and change it.

Because LittleBigPlanet isn’t just a game, it’s a thousand games, and you get to choose which ones become part of your own planet.

While I sit and stew because I can’t play Rock Band 2 on my PS3 yet, news comes that LittleBig Planet, the multi-player platformer where building your own levels is part of the game, will be out in less than a month.

It’s a game that, like Spore, runs on player creativity. Good stuff :) I’ll definitely be checking it out.

They have some early adopter rewards — you can see those and get more detail at the writeup on Wired.com.

(Oh yeah — Rock Band 2 for the PS3 is supposedly out October 19, so, busy week that week.)
