LITTLE BIG PLANET GAME OF THE YEAR GOTY PLAYSTATION 3 PS3

LittleBigPlanet is a platform and puzzle game where the player controls sackboys. It takes characters on an adventure through levels with different themes and settings, trying to reach the end of each level alive. The platforming is entirely physics-based where sackboys can push or pull objects, or generally manipulate them with their movement or weight. In addition to running, jumping, pushing and pulling, it is also necessary to master the grip of suspended objects and swinging to overcome certain obstacles and traps.

The game can be played by up to four players simultaneously with some puzzles requiring more than one player to solve. Levels consist of three planes: foreground, middle, and background, which can be traversed.

Next to the main game with around 50 levels, a large part is devoted to creating user-generated content. Players can design their own levels and design custom rules. The objects used to build the levels are largely based on the characteristics of real-world materials emulated by the physics engine.

During a level, stickers can be picked up for (mostly) decorative purposes or new items used to dress up sackboys or to be included in the player's own levels. User-created content can be shared via PlayStation Network.
