With the recent announcement of EA’s upcoming game Create, the similarities to Sony’s LittleBigPlanet sprung about like wildfire. So we got in touch with EA to get a word on what it is that makes Create so different.

“Create is its own unique entity. It is an imagination product and gives kids and families a way of exploring their creativity both visually and through creative problem solving,” an EA rep told us.

“It’s a multi-platform game, offering an inventive experience to players on Wii, 360, PC, Mac in addition to the PS3. There have been several inventive, contraption, puzzle solving games over the years. Each one brings something unique to the genre overall. Create has an interesting mix of visual creativity and creative thinking.”

By the sound of it, Create is more of a puzzle solver and creator rather than a platform for games such as LittleBigPlanet.
