Co-op

Playing co-op was fun at first and my girlfriend (who is still new to video games) could keep up and even play some levels on her own.
79 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The way music syncs with gameplay—especially in rhythm-based levels—is one of the game’s highlights, transforming stages into playable musical experiences that are as surprising as they are delightful.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
Unlike the Little Big Planet games, however, where players could create their own games and share them with the community, Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a pure 3D platformer with a focus on action and with a fun multiplayer mode.
