Fans of the Playstation 3 game Little Big Planet have been able to play as Solid Snake, Kratos, and Chun Li, but starting July 7th, players will be able to download costumes that will let them play as some of their favorite Marvel heroes and villains.

Marvel has announced that they will begin selling costume packs for the popular platform game over the Playstation Network. There will be four packs available with five costumes in each pack. In addition to the costumes, Marvel will also be releasing special super-hero themed levels to download for the game.

For those who haven’t played Little Big Planet before, the game is your classic running and jumping platformer, but one of the biggest draws of the game is the ability to dress and customize the main character, known as Sack Boy. The game allows you to change the look of your Sack Boy and Sony has released a variety of downloadable content with costumes from other video games. The other big draw of the game is the ability to create and share your own levels with other players, essentially making this a game that you can never complete all the way.

Combining Marvel’s characters with the unique look of the game is a great thing, and I can’t wait to see the actual costumes. It may be enough for me to break out the game again. Go to Marvel.com for the full list of characters, as well as art and further information on the game.
