Causing offence
Sony has confirming that LittleBigPlanet is to miss its planned October 24 UK release date after Muslim groups complained about music used in the game. "During the review process prior to the release of LittleBigPlanet, it has been brought to our attention that one of the background music tracks licensed from a record label for use in the game contains two expressions that can be found in the Qur'an…" Muslim groups had complained that mixing words from the Qur'an with music is deeply offensive and demanded Sony take immediate action. We take a look at the game that’s tipped to become the poster boy for a new wave of user-created gaming.
There's a feeling that an awful lot is riding on LittleBigPlanet. Some have called it the saviour of the PS3. Others have labelled it the most creative game of all time. It's even being held aloft as the poster boy for a new wave of user-created gaming. For some it's just the game that is going to breathe life into the near-dead 2D platforming genre. Thankfully developer Media Molecule has delivered a game that succeeds on most counts, fails in only a few and offers enough to be enjoyed by just about anyone.
