Okay, will someone please explain this game to me? I won't buy yet, because no one seems to be able to explain what the game is about and what the goals of the game are...?

It's a 2D side scrolling platformer. 

 Edit:

There is a very loose story that ties together the developer created levels, but it is a trivial story line.  You can collect bubbles within the level which are the equivalent of points.  Also, developer created objects are available to be collected in the level that can be used in other levels or your own creations.  The story mode will last between 7 - 8 hours and the multiplayer mode is endless.  The game also includes a very good level editor that will allow you to create your own levels.  If you enjoy platformers and enjoy puzzles then this game is probably a very good fit.

 

So it's a customizable Mario-style game then?

I guess that is a good way to describe it at its simplest level.  If you enjoy platformers, then there is a very good chance that you will enjoy LBP.  There are leader boards associated with each level.  Your score is determined by a combination of points and objects collected.  It is very difficult to explain what makes it fun because there really isn't anything like it on PS3/360.
