The sequel that fans have been waiting for will be treated with lots of new features and emphasis this go around with SackBoy and the crew at Media Molecule.

If you have been following ModNation Racers, you will be familiar with that heavenly expressed feature. What can you customize? That is your HUD.

As you can expect for a sequel, you will see improvements to the A.I, physics, and graphics. Now, things that gamers that played the first go around would want faster loading times in game and online as that would get kinda out of hand sometimes.

Everyone knows vast majority of levels have you PRESS R1 to do so and so action. Mark Healy created a car out of rubber wheels and a bottle and placed a direct control seat in it. After doing all of that, he brought up an interface that resembled a PS3 controller and assigned commands to buttons. A few examples was assigning the SIXAXIS tilt for forward and reverse and to make the horn sound off you would press X. Direct control seat’s control scheme is instantly accessible and you can attach it to only to whatever part you want on your creation to control.

Sound effects in LittleBIGPlanet 2 will not be limited by what ships with the game and/or DLC. You are able to record your own sounds and voices and then attaching to characters or objects. Magic Mouth will not make a return to the sequel.
