Little Big Planet (LBP) — a PlayStation 3 exclusive game — revolves around the player’s control of small avatars, known as Sackboys. When you see their appearance, you will understand.

The game features a set of pre-built levels for players to explore, but game’s customizable nature is where it really shines: from altering the player’s character and personal space, to building entirely new objects and levels, and then sharing and playing them online as part of the Little Big Planet community.

The LBP experience begins with players learning about their character’s powers to interact physically with the environment. The players learn by exploring places, collecting creative resources and solving puzzles.

This game has no real creativity constraints. If you see something, you can enhance it. If you can’t see it, you can invent it. And you can also make your world as revealing or as private to outsiders as you’d like.

Positives
Developing creativity from a non-competitive setting is a great plus.

Negatives
It’s not available on all platforms.

The Bottom line
This PlayStation exclusive app is unbearably cute and loaded with fun. If you want your kids to develop a positive constructive foundation of creativity, Little Big Planet is the tool that will guide them along. It is pure unadulterated fun for the family.
