Little Big Planet 2 will feature a diverse level creator that goes far beyond that in the original game, according to a report.

As we noted earlier today, the latest issue of Game Informer provides the first details on Media Molecule's sequel. Hours ago, a user on the NeoGAF Forums posted information allegedly from the magazine's feature story.

According to the post, Little Big Planet 2's brand new level editor is "not just a tool to create platform games," but instead "encourages the player to create game types." Possibilities allegedly include shooters, racing games, puzzle games, Space Invaders clones, and RPGs. The post even claims that a Media Molecule employee "has created a fully-functioning Command & Conquer clone" using the engine.

The deep customization engine is alleged to allow a customizable HUD, fully customizable controls, recordable sound effects, and even control over the character's jumping physics.

1UP was unable to secure a copy of the magazine at press time, but we will have more information on the game soon.
