> LONDON, England (CNN) – The release of one of the most hotly awaited computer games in the past year has been delayed over concerns some of the background music may offend Muslims.
> “LittleBigPlanet” has been delayed due to background music that Muslims may find offensive.
> “LittleBigPlanet,” described by review Web site [IGN.com](http://IGN.com) as an “instant classic,” has been pulled from warehouses after it was noticed that one of its music tracks contained words from the Islamic holy text, the Quran.
> The move is a blow to the Sony PlayStation game, seen as the console’s first launch of an icon to match Nintendo’s ubiquitous Mario, in which rag doll character Sackboy negotiates a lavishly designed world of platforms and challenges.
> “We’re sure that most of you have heard by now that one of the background music tracks that was licensed from a record label for use in the game contains two expressions that can be found in the Quran,” a statement on the game’s Web site said.
> “We have taken immediate action to rectify this and we sincerely apologize for any offense this may have caused.”
> It said the game, initially due for release earlier in the month, will now begin shipping in North America in the week of October 27.
> A statement on the Web site of Media Molecule, the game’s UK-based developer, said the company was “shellshocked and gutted” by the delay.
> “At MM, we were as shocked and dismayed by this as anyone,” it said.

Aww man… I saw a commercial for this and it looks like the most fun in a video game since Viva Pinata!
