7. My Research What is it? Little Big Planet Where is it set? Some trippy version of Planet Earth Why is it good/bad? Because the repetitive nature can be annoying (I logged it) When is it set? No time frame, it’s a continuous cycle of no particular era How is the game made to look or be accessible? The award-winning design is delivered to allow everyone to play. The genre is platformer so it is very accessible! Bafta 2008 – LBP/mm wins award
