Is it still worth playing?
Sackboy comes to Carnivalia, a fairground world, to face a puppeteer named Franklin and his Hollows in this 2012 platformer for the PlayStation Vita, released in September 2012. The Vita's screens are part of the levels: the front touch screen moves things in the world with a finger, and the rear pad pushes platforms out of the scenery from behind. As on the consoles, you build your own levels from a huge selection of materials, gadgets, tools and stickers, and the community features carry over, so you can search for, play, rate and favorite other people's levels. Touch brought new tools, a motion recorder, touch sensors, tweakers, a cursor and a touch material, and the Memoriser keeps data between levels and sessions, so a level can remember its player. Four can play online. Pushing scenery out from behind with the rear pad is still its own trick today.
