Honestly, I don't get the appeal of LBP. Played it at my brothers. Found it utterly pointless and boring although my 5 year old nephew has tremendous fun with it because he can't die. There's no enemies, no real objective, no challenge of any sort, I didn't see any levels that required 1 iota of thinking to clear. Just walk through them aimlessly to accomplish - nothing.

However the level editor - the main selling point - is extremely robust and there's nothing to match it anywhere. At least not in a platformer.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl has a decent level creator too, and while it doesn't have the fantastic up/down loading of levels like LBP (it does to a very limited degree) that is available online on some sites. However Brawl is a brawler not a platformer although it does have a huge single (or coop) platform story mode as well.

Never played My Sims - I don't think there's any level creator in that like in LBP but you do create homes and businesses from building it to designing. If you want to build stuff then My Sims is an excellent option. Plus is offers a story, characters, and a lot more depth that LBP doesn't - storywise.

 

I respect your opinion, but lets not again BS the OP.  LIttle big planet is without a doubt a unique experience not found on any other console other than the ps3(soon psp).  If you cannot afford a ps3 you can get a psp 169 new or 154$ used at gamestop for LBP psp game coming out sometime this year probably.  No disrespect to the mario, bloom box, and that pc game and the xbox game but they do not hold a candle (IMOB) on the creation side of things of LBP.  As for the story having no enemies and no dying you could "not" have played little big planet because the collectors lair levels are full of hazards and enemies that will kill you if you are not careful.  Plus the safari levels with the alligators are deadly as well, lets not let opinion become fact and mislead the OP.  This game is a unique experience that no true gamer should miss out on just like mario and all the games everyone else have suggested.  But they are not LBP and LBP is not what they are.
