Slap Fight!

Caught a link for this GameSpy bit on the Sony PS3 game LittleBigPlanet. I guess they are showing the game off at the CES 2008. I have to admit the video was pretty slick.

The little characters are ridiculously amusing to look at and appear to have some decent customization. The game has level creation including sculpting, cloning and rotating shapes "in world". The creations look crafty in the same demented cute fashion as the avatars. Something akin to a Stewart Little workshop. Could be some fun to mess around with.

However, being only two and a half years old, the thing that grabbed my attention was this comment

the developers have also added "slapping" since we last saw the game. Tapping a button will brutally backhand your buddy, hurtling him or her across the map (and potentially into the clamping jaws of an obstacle). Slapping is accompanied by suitably ridiculous sound effects and even the dev team couldn't help from busting out into goofy four-way slap-fights while they were supposed to be giving the demo.
Now we're freakin' talking! Slap fight, dood. I'm on it.
