LittleBigPlanet

Creating a fun platformer that’s accessible while having its own unique hook is no easy task, regardless of the console generation. But LittleBigPlanet wasn’t just seeking to provide a new 2.5D platformer with great music and cute visuals to enthrall PS3 fans. It also introduced a robust toolkit that allowed for creating everything from individual levels to full-on mini-games that players could tackle solo or with friends. In many ways, it helped popularize the whole formula of “Play, Create and Share” while introducing a lovable new mascot with Sackboy.
