Sackboy, to me, is like a Lego block or a Mr. Potato Head. You're required to use your imagination to turn Sackboy into what you want. Media Molecule has provided Sackboy with nothing but the ability to play dress up. As a kid, I was okay with playing with Lego Blocks or Mr. Potato Head....but I'd always be more excited to play with a Tranformer, GI Joe, or Batman figure. Those where characters. Good game. Good Premise. Lame protagonist. |
Don't confuse backstory with character. You don't need to have a love interest to have character. He's obviously afraid of a lot of things - ghosts, death, etc. You see him being afraid a lot of times during the games.
