To start things off you play or take control of a character called Sack boy who could be customized in different ways such as outfits or sticikers but mainly outfits and some of those resemble characters from different franchises though and they're downloadable content.
What can I say this game is for people who love to create or just play 2D plat formers, and the story line's platforms are decently challenging but the most fun aspect of this game is creating your very own puzzle and stage then upload and share them with the community in LBP you could play other people's stages and have fun or make your own and play by yourself.. Forgot to add that you could play stages with other players including the storyline stages and User Created..
The only negative is you have to play through story mode to unlock items for creating your own stage decoration wise mostly but that too could be an annoyance so jut play for fun or create for fun..
