One of the Best games of 08, and you can live out your dream of becoming a video game designer
First off is a decent story mode, which should last a while, depending on who you are playing with and how skilled they are with platforming.
Although its short, the best part about it is that YOU CAN MAKE THE LEVELS.
yes, any level that you see made, can be recreated if you have the skill, time and patience
On the same topic, ANY GAME CAN BE "LittlebigPlanetfied"
whether it be a simple platforming game from Mario or Sonic, to uber violent/popular games like Resident Evil 5, Resistance 2, COD:WAW's zombie mode, EVEN LEFT 4 DEAD!
the amount of user generated content is amazing, not the mention there are over 1million levels made.
However there are many poorly built levels made by a variety of users, and even some annoying ones just for Trophy collectors
With that said, creating a level IS VERY TEDIOUS, however it can be rewarding if you do it right. Recognition may be minimal, but how would you feel if you successfully recreated your favourite game, or even did it for a good cause :P
In conclusion the game is an amazing and diverse game, which almost has no limits. The game's overall appeal to you will depend on how creative you got, how much patience you have, how flexible, and open minded you are and how much fun you will enjoy
