Media Molecule’s LittleBigPlanet 2 promises to bring an enormous amount of creative freedom to the table, taking the original mantra of “Play, Create, Share” to an entirely new level. Recent creations from the ongoing private beta, such as a rendition of thatgamecompany’s 2007 PSN exclusive flOw, are evident of this.

The effort is spot on, retaining flOw’s tranquil atmosphere and relaxing charm.

Beyond that, however, it shows how powerful the creation tools in LBP2 are. After all, at its core. LBP is a platforming title. To see other genres pulled off with relative ease within its creative landscape is quite an impressive sight. January 18 can’t come soon enough.
