LittleBigPlanet was pretty much the cutest, most adorable, bestest game in all, ever, so how could something that keeps what we loved and then makes it all much better ever fail? The claims they make are pretty big, and we'll see if they deliver. The two big additions we need to see proof of are fully intelligent creatable creatures and games-within-games, where you can assign controls and literally make your own minigame within the greater LittleBigPlanet world. Of course new objects and powerups won't hurt, either. If it's playable at E3, it will be the greatest experience in the world.
