In this amazing brawling game you fight against your friends with beloved characters from various Playstation hits, play as your favourite playstation character and fight against your friends. This game is heavily inspired by Nintendo's Smash Bro's series, the only twist with this game is you don't knock the opponents off the maps to take off a life, instead by getting hits on them you fill a super bar, the bar can be used once filled once but the attack for level 1 is difficult to hit. If the super hits your opponent loses a life, however you can save up your super and fill the bar again to get level 2, and also once more for level 3, this is the last level and if you save up for level 3 you will land a devastating blow to your opponents.

littlebigplant

LittleBigPlanet (LBP) is a puzzle platform video game series created and produced by British developer Media Molecule and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Most games in the series put a strong emphasis on user-generated content and are based on the series' tagline "Play, Create, Share". The tagline represents the three core elements of the series: playing alone or with others locally (on the same console) or online, creating new content using the in-game creation tools, and sharing creations and discoveries online with other players. This game is amazing in many ways, the fact that players can create their own levels and share them to the public so that anyone can jump in and try players whacky levels, it is a lot of fun with friends as the game encourages team work.
