Included are three exciting mini-games, starring some of the most popular Marvel Super Heroes and a wardrobe filled with new costumes you can use when dressing your Sackboy or Sackgirl.

In the original game, you get to journey and interact with LittleBigPlanet like never before using the touch-feely magic of PS Vita. The travelling planet of Carnivalia is a jam-packed playground where an Evil Puppeteer has brought doom and gloom. Can you unravel the mystery and restore this troubled planet to it’s former glory?

When you’ve done that, why not try out the create tools and conjure up your own levels and games, then share them with the rest of the world? If you’re not feeling incredibly creative, well that doesn’t matter as there are thousands of levels and games created by others for you to play.

The Marvel mini-games feature some of the most popular Marvel heroes, Avengers: Ultimate Escape, S.H.I.E.L.D Interceptor and Hero Rush. There are loads of stages to complete and tons of replayability, they really are perfect for bite-sized entertainment on your PS Vita. If that’s not enough…you get 18 Marvel character costumes plus loads of stickers, decorations, effects and objects to craft your own super hero adventures.

The game will be released on 19th November for the bargain price of €19.99. Check it out and we will look out for some awesome new creations online. Who knows, you might even get Team Picked and featured by our Community team!

This is smart. Capitalize on Marvel's success and put the heroes on the front cover.

Kind of strange how they didn't put Wolverine and Spider-man on there... They're far more popular than Hawkeye and whoever that chick is (Black Widow?).

Also would've looked better/more recognizable if they used the official MARVEL logo instead of that small gold text. But that's the graphics designer in me critiquing.

Not strange at all. Marvel seem to be pushing the characters they are making movies with and reducing emphasis on those where the movie rights are with another company.

I wonder how well this will sell. I thought anybody who had a Vita and interest in LBP more then probably already have a copy of LBPvita. *mew2014-09-11 20:04:00

They might just be trying to capitalize on the renewed interest in the franchise due to LBP3. I cant imagine that they expect record sales or anything. They probably only had to put a modest effort and investment into it. Moderate sales will probably be considered a success. I guess there must be a portion of people who would buy it but haven't yet and might have LBP on their minds.

If you already have the Vita version, but don't have those costumes, 18 costumes+levels+decos and such for $20 is actually a good deal.

LBPV is starting to die out, just like the Vita if it isn't dead already. I really don't see how adding in a bunch of DLC (which you can also get with the standard game) will add new life to the game.2014-09-13 12:39:00
