LittleBigPlanet Karting retains that Sackboy charm, according to latest story trailer
I just don't know what to make of it...
Upon first hearing the announcement of LittleBigPlanet Karting, it wouldn't be unfair to sigh and moan, "Not another carting game." LittleBigPlanet Karting, however, seems like anything but just another carting game. The latest trailer, focusing on the game's story and structure, is eye-drawing in that it really captures that LittleBigPlanet sense of charm and innocence. Honestly, it's difficult to tell where the LittleBigPlanet ends and the Karting begins, which is hard to be discouraged about in this age of racing game homogenization.
Of course, one might point out how foolish it would be to make such an assumption of the game so the developer's name is quite clearly stamped on it. We're talking about, no, not Media Molecule -- we're talking about United Front Games. The United Front Games that have made the best carting game this generation, in my humble opinion -- ModNation Racers. Combine their work with Media Molecule's charming Craftworld setting and LittleBigPlanet Karting may be the king of kustomization.
LittleBigPlanet Karting is set for release on the PlayStation 3 starting November 6 in North America, November 7 in Europe. The game features 1-4 players local or 2-8 players online and apparently has a great story on top of its cooperative/competitive carting gameplay. Look forward to it.

I played the beta once and you can customize your car and character. I hope you can put all your costumes from LBP1 and 2 onto the game, and using decorations on your car. Maybe not decorations though, but just stickers. You can change the color and use car parts on your car anyways, I hope there is a lot of DLC for the cars! There will be too, LittleBigPlanet games always have TONS of DLC.
You can only have 4 people/friends on the other games ofc, but 8 random people/friends is going to be so much fun. I probably won't pre-order this game late, but I will get it soon after it releases or just at Christmas time! Anyways I am definitelyyy getting this game and I can't wait! I love the LBP series.
