LittleBigBadguys: The enemies of LittleBigPlanet

LittleBigPlanet surprised us all at Gamers Day and wowed us again at E3 by showing off its "Create" aspect. Yet throughout all the platforming, teamwork and creative game design that we've been shown so far, nobody has actually seen any enemies. Eventually people just assumed there wouldn't be any. However, EGM has appeared to prove this wrong.

In an interview with Media Molecule, the game's Senior Producer Pete Wilson said, "It's funny -- I don't think we actually mentioned this previously, but yes, we will certainly have enemies in the game; I think that's a fundamental part of good gameplay. They will range from little robots that simply roam from left to right to spectacularly complex beasts that pose quite a challenge. We've recently built this big, huge giant, and, as with other objects in the game, he's composed entirely of materials that you wouldn't expect. He's quite intimidating, and shows the possibility of what designers can create."

Hopefully we'll see these LittleBigBaddies at the Leipzig Games Convention or the Tokyo Game Show.

    How will we have to fight these baddies though? I can't see this game having you jump on their heads to kill them, but maybe using objects to trap or kill them.

    Ok. I am just watching the trailer for the game for the first time, and my jaw has literally dropped. This has to be one of the coolest games coming out. This and the one with the stick man where you have to get him from one part of the screen to the other. Looks like a sweet puzzle game. Way better than sudoku hehehe Loving Little Big Planet. Loving Sony and PS3 even more :D

    Something extra to get you into the game while having tons of fun is what this means fo all of us. This is a great way for all of us to be able to try hands on game design. I am glad everyone is excitied about this as I am. Sony is delivering what they have promised. PS3, it's in the box.

    This would own bad guys in lbp especially the skills gamers will develope to take down bosses such as for example making a see saw and then tossing something large at the boss and the boss explodes into little particles.
