User blog:TheBlueRogue/5 Things You Need to Know About LittleBigPlanet Karting

1. From the makers of Modnation Racers
United Front Games developed the hit kart racer, ModNation Racers. ModNation Racers focused entirely on the user-generated content of the racing, allowing players to design and create their own custom characters and karts. Characters can be outfitted with decals, skins, masks, facial hair and other details. The track creation allows for players to modify the landscape and direction of the course. LittleBigPlanet Karting offers these same features but within the realm of LittleBigPlanet!

LittleBigPlanet Karting has a plot that follows the exploits of Sack-Boy (or Sack-Girl) as they fight against the selfish Hoard. The Hoard all drive their own cars and gather to attack the Imaginarim. They wish to steal all of the thoughts, ideas, hopes, and dreams that make up the world of LittleBigPlanet. There are a total of 71 story levels, with most of the levels from LittleBigPlanet 2 being revisited. These 71 levels are boken into several eight person races and battle/versus tracks. Also included are VS levels, with timed races and other side quests also make an appearance at various points throughout the story.

3. Customization
LittleBigPlanet Karting includes a robust creation coponent. The only limits to the player's creations are their own creativity. One thing to remember is that all changes and customizations to the kart are purely cosmetic and do not effect preformance at all. That being said, the sky is essentially the limit with tools for creation. Sack-Boys can be customized, along with their karts, and specific tracks. The customization editor is so expansive that there are even ways to create full length games that have nothing to do with racing at all.
