Um...no it's not.
@everyone: A lot of you are really missing the point of LBP. It's a basically a tool to allow you to create whatever you want. You can create a racer, like kingofwale said, or you can create some other form of playstyle. Technically, the "level" you build could have no objective at all. It could just be a place to roam around and mess with stuff. Or it could have a "boss" that you must defeat, one that you could create yourself. Or it could involve collecting as much sponge as possible. Or anything else that you could think of. The entire point is to allow you to do what you want.
It is the ultimate level editor, with a very streamlined and easy to use control scheme.
The only common characteristic between everybody's levels will be that they are 2.5D, and that you traverse them primarily by running and jumping.
Everyone should watch this video to get a basic idea of what LBP is all about:
