The original idea behind LittleBigPlanet, the largely user-generated platforming title from Media Molecule, was to give musicians a chance to jam with each other online over the Playstation Network. As it turned out, using the Playstation 3 as a conduit for collaborative improvisation and rehearsal was a trickier problem than expected. Luckily, a whole lot of new concepts arose out of the experiment, including the collaborative gameplay features that now figure as the title's central focus.
