LittleBigPlanet 2 might have unintentionally oriented itself toward a more elite playerbase than it realized, but you can’t mistake the good pedagogical intentions of its developers. These games are meant as Western child-rearing in a nutshell, deliberately multicultural and gender-inclusive, actively encouraging self-discovery and mutable identification.
There’s just the little problem of its execution. Or rather, how it sets up and fails to deliver where it counts.
