We're usually hesitant to spend real-life money on virtual clothing, but you can bet we'll spring at the chance to purchase the recently revealed Sonic the Hedgehog costume pack for LittleBigPlanet. See, if we dress ourselves up like the series' speedy, cerulean protagonist, then play one of the many, many Green Hill Zone stages crafted by the LBP community, we can pretend that we're playing a decent, current-gen Sonic platformer.
We've contacted Media Molecule to try and find out the North American release date and price for this costume pack. We shouldn't let the developer hear us say this, but we'd pay anything for that beautiful illusion.

I thought this must have been the water add-on, from the first part.

The only way to get a good Sonic game is this apparently.

Looks cool, even though I've already made half these costumes in my museum levels. Also, Werehog = fail. That 5th spot should have been saved for Shadow, possibly Amy to get a girlie costume in the mix.
Either way, I think Mm lied to us when they said they have level designers. I'm absolutely convinced they all quit after December when the MGS levels came out, lol.

So if you want to play a newish game that includes sonic, don't play a sonic game, play LBP!

So, this is the best Sonic game since Smash Bros. Brawl.
Sounds about right to me.

So, everyone else basically agree that this needs an official level pack with something to make it seem more like sonic levels?

I hope there's levels involved. Any platformer mascot should have levels!

Where's Shadow? =)

I welcome the addition of other franchise mascots as costumes...a little too late for me. I sold the game when I found out making a good level took hundreds of hours.

wsere getting this before we get the Marvel costumes. fuckin' lame. i think ive lost too much respect for sonic over the years to care about this pack...oh yeah and i agree with DarkSan00; where the fuck are our could and sephiroth costumes. i guess i should be glad that were getting content again but sreriously MM, sonic? c'mon i dont even have enough respect for him to capitalize his name...

So when they add the water addon, will they have to put the countdown numbers over there heads or what? It seems like a cool idea if you want to add some realism, but I haven't got that far into LBP. Is this possible?

It's a small comfort that Sackboy dressed as a Werehog will be able to run faster than the real thing :)

Oh, shaddup. Sonic Unleashed literally wasn't HALF bad (daytime levels were excellent, werehog levels were meh). Prolly the best Sonic 3D platformer since Sonic Adventure.

well.... pat_boy2008 is right... there should be Shadow for rebels, and Amy rose for girls.
