There seems to be a line dividing those who find this game genuinely boring or genuinely fun. Of course, critics seem to like it, but otherwise, how do you all feel?

Fun for awhile, then can get a little boring. But then I take a break, and then it is fun seeing new user created content

I was addicted at first but then it got kind of boring. It's fun to play with other people, especially one you know, but it has been very very laggy when doing that, so I lost my interest in it.

I had a ton of fun with it last year. My girlfriend and I went through all the SP levels and collected everything. First time I've ever done that with a game. Had a blast doing it too. There are some truly amazing user created levels too. Do a Google search and you'll find lists of the best ones (I know IGN has done a few lists). The side mini games are also really fun.

So, overall, amazing game. Easily my favorite game this gen.

I found it to be pretty boring. I love platformers, but LBP just doesn't do it for me.

Cute? Yes. Fun to play? Not to me.

Jason looked the best in part 7, good choice. You a big fan of the movies? I grew up on them and dressed up as Jason at least twice as a kid, good times. Had a real machete too believe it or not, spray painted red for blood :P

By yourself LBP can get boring real fast, but if you do offline multi-player its probably one of the funnest experiences out there.

LBP is a great game if you have a creative side, or your looking for a game that the whole family will enjoy playing together.

terrible in my perspective. bought it and contemplating keeping it for the modnations beta. its okay but i can never see myself making a level, and the platforming is really far from decent. if i was gonna have fun with friends the new super mario bros wii would be 100x funner.

So you never played the game. The Bunker in the Wilderness levels? Try to ace that.

LBP is great. Literally millions of user-created levels, maybe only hundreds of really good ones, DLCs great if you're into it.

I got the Metal Gear Solid pack, it was great. The story in that is way funny, turns Liquid made a machine that spewed out copies of the same trophy levels all over the place.

Fun just to mess around with friends, internet's laggy until you get into the level, usually then it's fine. Hundreds of different stickers and decorations allow for limitless amounts of costumes and pod decorations. My friend made Link, Dark Link, Charmander, the Joker, and this cool red and black Sackboy. Music is great, as well.

The thing is, I don't find it fun when the point of a game is to collect stuff, I would rather a game's purpose be to test my skill. To me, the items are just a novelty that carry minimal weight. Plenty of other platformers are better because they challenge the player to make it through the level, Super mario world and Super mario bros 3 for instance, and I find it odd when people say the game is like mario when Mario is leagues better in terms of gameplay.

VERY fun game(see sig), it takes a while to create levels, but once you have done so, you play it and you feel a sense of accomplishment. if you know what i mean. and once you do get bored of it (which takes a while) just go for the platinum trophy(which i have cause im the best and coolest). 2nd fav ps3 game after uncharted 2. lbp is awesome + theres so much DLC (water coming out soon)

It's like a platformer version of the Sims where the only thing that keeps you coming back is there is more STUFF to collect and accumulate, or Animal Crossing, where you do repetitive tasks (all the levels are the same, they just LOOK different) just to get stuff to decorate your house.

At first it was kinda fun but after that the platforming felt clunky and i didnt like the 2.5 idea.

Playing with the user created levels was cool though.

I think it depends if your a fan of the editor, if you have any urges in physics/game design or inventions it can't be beat.

Is like saying is lego boring or fun. Depends on your imagination

i'm one of the rare few who find this game pretty boring. i played it on release day and havent touched it since. maybe i'm just not into platformers, since im more of a sandbox-type of a game player.

it's just sitting on the stand in the off-chance someone asks to play some levels with me.

Like other comments above, it boils down to your imagination, and how creative you are.

I think that the game is A LOT of fun. Every now and then, there are times when you can get bogged down, and it loses some charm. However, there's nothing more satisfying than making your own content.

The clever thing is how cute or twisted you can make it. Do you want to build flowers and bunnies, or blood stained walls, and slime? What about a battle tank or race car? Do you want to BECOME a character? The Playstation Eye allows you to stick your mug into the game.

I'm in the process of making a Halloween level, with no reference to work from. The goal is to stay away from as many pre made items. So far, there are custom made vampires, mummies and spiders. The player must grab onto squidgy eyeballs, drop items into a bubblin' cauldron, or pull teeth out of a skull shaped door for example.

In terms of locations, I've built a graveyard from the ground up, and it comes with added thunder and lightning effects. The rest of the game is set within the walls of a spooky hotel.

The lighting is pretty cool, once you learn how to exploit it. On the surface, a level can be pretty basic, but look amazing with the correct ambience.

Overall, I think that LBP is a good creative tool. Definitely charming and worth the time and effort.

I should add, the online should be smoother soon, I know they are/have been working on it, it's also getting online create so you can screw around with online friends in the editor (really cool) and the water is going to be worth the wait, you will see an amazing amount of cool water based levels

its great and it really makes people work together in co-op, best co-op ive seen in a while, just a few connection issues that need to be fixed up and create mode fixes and it would be even better
