Unfortunately, the game's real focus is this mundane "been there, done that" running game that doesn't offer much in the way of fun.

If it was simply about creating cute Sackboy avatars, Ultimate Sackboy might be a lot of fun.

Plus, the game lets players flex their own artistic muscles with Sackboy's near infinite number of accessories and other customization options. Sackboy's bubbly charisma and upbeat attitude also shine through with an almost infectious sense of joy. All the little seams, stitches, buttons, fabrics, etc., come together to give the appearance of an arts and crafts project breathed into life. From a style perspective, the game does a phenomenal job of recreating Sackboy and his setting. Ultimate Sackboy takes Sony's adorable mascot, along with the handcrafted aesthetic and charm of the LittleBigPlant games, and inexplicably slaps it onto a generic arcade running game. LittleBigPlanet's iconic Sackboy has made the (literal) jump from consoles to mobile, but the transition is a clunky one.
