LittleBigPlanet Karting hits the track on 6 November

In a cunning attempt to distract attention away from the US Presidential Election, Sony has elected (sorry) to release LittleBigPlanet Karting on 6 November. The game is pretty much what you’d imagine a Karting spin-off to be like, with the addition of LittleBigPlanet’s trademark openness towards customisation. Players will be use the in-game editor to create their own tracks, Sackboy outfits, karts and weapons.

If you pre-order the Move-compatible PlayStation 3 title, you’ll get a bonus Kevin Butler Sackboy character complete with golf cart (above).

A new trailer for the game has been released too, which you can see below.
