Back in 2010, developer United Front Games released its debut PS3 title, ModNation Racers вЂ“ a kart-racing game with the emphasis firmly on customisation of vehicles, drivers and tracks. It's this sort of design ethos вЂ“ the 'Play Create Share' party line that Sony put forward for the PS3 in its early stages вЂ“ that runs throughout the game. So you're driving along the track and BANG! A spinning rainbow unicorn crashes into you from behind.' 'Last week I was playing around in weapon creation, and I took the missile and put a unicorn's head on it, then attached a rainbow trail to it, and then made it spin when it's fired. Those are just the weapons we've given you to play with. I overhear a developer chatting to the journalist on the console next to me.

After an enthusiastic presentation from lead designer William Ho, we're invited to play on one of three maps plucked from the game: a straightforward race track, a multi-level battle arena in the style of Mario Kart, and a vast airborne World's Fair-inspired course called Future Perfect. Little Big Planet Karting is, by all accounts, already pretty special.
