Level creation in LittleBigPlanet is arguably it’s biggest draws, and as expected, players have been re-creating some insane levels based on other video game properties.

Below you can view some user-created levels that the players themselves posted on the Internet for the world to see. These levels are based on Tetris, Gradius, Pac-Man and Mega Man and are truly sights to behold!

Unfortunately, Sony has intervened to remove many levels that they deem are copyright offenders. The big sticking point with this is that Sony has not explained why many levels have been removed, and they can be taken down for something as small as the name of your level being the name of a song or movie. It’s also quite sad to see that Sony claims ownership of all user-created content in LittleBigPlanet, meaning that whatever you create is theirs, not yours.

Of course, you can always do what the below players have done, simply record a video of your masterpiece and post it on youtube! Hooray for technology!

The Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu had an article where Konami revealed Gradius Rebirth for WiiWare. The shoot ‘em up is due this summer and looks similar to the original Gradius. No releases outside of Japan have been announced yet.

So expect to be upgrading your ship soon as you will once again take control of the Vic Viper and battle enemies such as Moai heads in an effort to take down the Bacterian Empire once and for all.

PS: While it looks like the very first games in the series it doesn’t seem to be a port or remake, but rather as the title hints another 8-bit rebirth along the lines of Mega Man 9 that’s also on WiiWare.
