pretty much LBP1 except toned down. not a lot of online connectivity making the whole user-created appeal of the main games relatively moot. Consider this the "Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS" of the littlebigplanet universe. there is a single player to earn items for your own levels but without the ability to freely share your creations, or play online with friends, there's not much of a point imo. LBP games are more about the community than the campaign, so this game focusing on the latter more is just kinda eh.
