EA's customizable puzzler 'Create' coming this holiday
EA's hoping you'll take off that silly santa hat and don a thinking cap this holiday, when you play "Create," a new game from its Guildford-b Bright Light studio. "Create uses families' imaginations to develop new ways to play together that are both fun and challenging," said Harvey Elliot, VP and general manager of Bright Light.
So, the game's about ... inventing stuff? Not quite. The actual nuts and bolts of gameplay are about completing "level-based challenges" and solving Rube Goldberg-esque puzzles in ... creative ways. The more you complete, the more objects and tools unlock to customize the environment.
The game is set to launch on PC, Mac, Wii, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Create supports the PlayStation Move, though no indication is given that the Xbox iteration will employ Kinect. Based on the first trailer (see it after the break), the game seems comparable to LittleBigPlanet -- though it's lacking that adorable little sack guy -- and The Incredible Machine. Create will arrive at retail sometime "this holiday."
