Not Sure - Little Big Planet — 

I really wanted to like LittleBigPlanet, it's is a massive game, one that is essentially two parts intertwined so well that they're practically inseparable. Media Molecule has created a brilliant platformer, and then given you the tools to recreate the whole thing over again, or better yet, to create your own ideas from scratch. It's not perfect - - the controls could be tighter, automatically shifting between planes can be problematic, the editor isn't quite as robust as you might hope -- but there's a massive amount of content.

Lots of people love the game but it just wasn't for me. I generally like platformers, too. The controls were probably the biggest problem for me, I always felt like i was struggling with them. It's definitely cute and there is a ton to do and play with but it just never clicked with me.

Level editing was something i was really interested in but it was too much of an investment in time for me to get what I wanted out of it.

Kids will likely love it but Little Big Planet is not for everyone.
