LBP is easily one of the best platoformers for a variety of reasons, but its best enjoyed with other people
Graphically, the game looks great. Everything is very polished and detailed. Gameplay wise is where this baby really shines. THe mechanics built in the game work very very well. The main character(s), the sackboy/girl is completely customizable. You can change eyes, attire, and color.
Of course thats where this game really shines, customization. You can create your own stages!! BUt this takes a while, so i havent really made any stages. The game really shines in mulitplayer, especially online. Thats right you can fly through other peoples created levels, with other people.
The downside of the game is the story is short and difficult. Its really tough to beat some of later levels. I was warned about that before I bought it. Yes this game is awesome, but it's a lil overhyped. Ultimately its a great game though. If u got a PS3 and like platforming get this one
