LittleBigPlanet to Have Enemies

Media Molecule Producer Pete Wilson has revealed to EGM (as reported by 1up) that LittleBigPlanet's level can have bad guys. "It's funny -- I don't think we actually mentioned this previously, but yes, we will certainly have enemies in the game; I think that's a fundamental part of good gameplay," said Wilson. "They will range from little robots that simply roam from left to right to spectacularly complex beasts that pose quite a challenge." An awesome concept just got cooler.

Enemies fundamental to gameplay?

I don't think enemies are fundamental to good gameplay at all; a vast mumber of games don't have opponents.

Challenges are fundamental to good gameplay however. An 'enemy' is just one of the many ways of representing a challenge.

So, it's a real game now

I watched the preview videos when it was announced, and I mean sure it looked cool (and very technologically impressive), but as a game it was unspeakably dull. Now I'm more interested in following the game's progress - if there will be enemies, then at least something engaging will be going on.

Has it been stated whether or not the game will ship with a pre-made campaign / "story" mode, or will it be entirely make-your-own-sandbox?
