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.

Comrade Toya...

Part of me wants to just take the leap and get it because I haven't bought a game for the PS3 that just blew me away since Call of Duty 4 (which destroys the XBOX 360 version BTW, which I also own). Also, I didn't really like Gears, so that's not too much of a selling point. Most of my Clan-mates also own LBP but no one seems to really be able to explain what makes the game so good... or really what the game is.

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.

It's a pretty basic platformer, there's tons of jumping involved, along with some enemies/obstacles - just get to the end of the level to finish it. Some of the level designs are really cool. Most stuff looks like cardboard cutouts. There's a few random switches and objects to pull/grab to get through some areas, along with items you can collect to unlock stuff. Some levels require 2 players to unlock everything....you might have one player pull a switch while the other does somethin else. LBP's level editor is insane - there's so much you can do and build with it. At one point I spent hours for a few days straight just trying to make a tank'ish vehicle. After abit I got a little frustrated with the camera....but that was when I had a horrid 27 inch box TV (CRT?) so I might have to try it again. Considering what you can do with the level editor, I think the story mode could've done a better job at creating more complex situations. The game itself seems a tad bit more targetted at younger players. When I heard of unlocking costumes/etc, I didn't expect half the stuff I'd get to be bunny tails/pink glasses/cat ears/"cute" this n that, etc. A little annoying when you're trying to customize your sack thing. Of course that didn't stop me from playing it. It's a great game, but I honestly think some people here overexaggerate it just a bit. I wouldn't say it's so great that it's an absolute must-buy for everyone, but definitely worth a try for most. My only issue really is not being able to use the D-pad to move - in a game like this, sometimes I get a little frustrated constantly moving the stick from left to right. Again, good game but just hasn't caught my attention too much, though it is alot funner with 3-4 players. I'm also a CoD fan (Waw) so I'm usually playing that most of the time.

Even that isn't a very good definition, imo.

Really, you have to play it to truly understand it.

This is the problem Sony is having with sales.  People that go into a store and see the game have no clue what it is.  The box has as best a description of the game you could probably come up with, but it's not enough. 

Ultimately, word of mouth and people playing the game at a friend's house is what will get sales going, and when they play it, 95% of the time they WILL want to buy it, and this (combined with extensive UGC, giving the game long lasting appeal) is why I've been a firm supporter of the notion that LittleBigPlanet will have long legs since months before it even released.
