Little Big Planet is truly a world unto itself creating a unique genre of creative gaming where players learn how to manipulate the mechanics of the game during their first play through and then move on to create online worlds of their own afterward. A truly unique and engaging experience for children of all ages.

Released in 2007 this charming adventure game quickly became popular among children and adults alike. The player controls a sack person with innocent, little, button eyes who embarks on a journey of incredible peril to save its toy friends from the clutches of a fiendish collector.

As missions progress, players collect stickers and game play items that can be stored for later use while designing your very own playable levels that can be shared with other players online. The online community provides for near infinite replay value, encouraging players to design their own levels and providing feedback through a player rating system.

The downloadable content for this game may be the most impressive aspect yet, offering far more downloads including costumes and levels more plentiful than I have ever seen for a disc based game. Even now, in 2010, while we are seeing promotions for the sequel, they are still releasing new expansions for the original. Bravo!

I highly recommend this game. Even after completing this game and playing many user designed levels I know that I still have not seen all that this game has to offer and I still have a long way to go before unlocking all of the achievements. This game provides some serious challenges and encourages creativity in a refreshing way that should be adopted by more game creators. I will definitely be buying the sequel.
