LittleBigPlanet Preview

From the moment it was first revealed, LittleBigPlanet has been getting a great deal of buzz. The central character, Sackboy, is nothing more than a bit of stuffed burlap, but through the sheer genius of Media Molecule, this is a game that everyone will be talking about

Why? Because it is, at once, one of the most creative games in terms of creating puzzles and puzzle solving, while nailing the word "endearing" with its central character. Sackboy is unlike anything you have ever seen. It (this is a non-gender specific character despite the name) can take on a variety of costumes; you can alter its mood with the D-pad and use the thumbsticks to take individual control over the arms. You want to emulate John Travolta from Saturday Night Fever? It's entirely possible.
