super fun with a few friends on the couch, as a straight up platformer its pretty good, but the real enjoyment for me at least is the level editor, tonight I built a replica of my dads tractor and then my bf built working steam engine (no motor bolts!)

it is indeed the ultimate lego kit.

im not even gonna talk about the water update thats coming :p

It's lame. The only thing to do is jump, pull/push, and collect stickers. The appeal wore off after 5 minutes for me.

I thought I was really going to like it, but came away disappointed. Barely lasted a week for me, core gameplay is just boring. Very overrated if you ask me.

I love LBP. So much fun to play with my sister and her boyfriend over PSN.... also a great game by yourself. Very creative design and originality along with terrific gameplay.

Same. The game isn't any different if the sackperson is wearing a helmet or just not wearing anything at all. It adds nothing to the gameplay. Really, all it is is a dress-up game with a level editor. I have not even attempted the level editor and I probably won't. I wasn't even impressed by the "objects" I was collecting throughout the level. "Oh here's a skull for a level, here's a lever, etc" didn't exactly make me want to make my own level. Such a waste of money for me.

If you like platformers and you are a bit of a fiend about collecting things and you appreciate cuteness, you'll love it. It's absolutely hysterical if you've got someone else to play with. There are a lot of levels and they're imaginative and challenging. Plus you can play tons of fantastic levels created by other people for free. And they actually are great. If you're gonna buy it, get the GOTY edition, because it includes the Metal Gear levels (and thus more trophies too) as well as more costumes.
The game isn't any different if the sackperson is wearing a helmet or just not wearing anything at all. It adds nothing to the gameplay. Really, all it is is a dress-up game with a level editor.neo_starwind
Lol what were you expecting? You think the wings will actually allow you to fly around the level? They're called costumes for a reason. It's the equivalent of customising your character. Wearing different costumes in RE5 doesn't change anything. Making your char look differently in RPGs doesn't change anything either. I think you had extremely unrealistic expectations of this game going into it, judging by what you thought costumes would do. And since you think it's merely a dress-up game with a level editor, I can only conclude that you haven't actually, you know, played the game. Because there are levels and platforming and sharing and playing together and stuff like that.

Same. The game isn't any different if the sackperson is wearing a helmet or just not wearing anything at all. It adds nothing to the gameplay. Really, all it is is a dress-up game with a level editor. I have not even attempted the level editor and I probably won't.

Such a waste of money for me.

I just made a thread about this game...... I was actually the same way at first. I bought the game and played the levels that came with the game and was not impressed and was thinking of trading in the game asap, BUT then I used the level editor and was blown away and played some levels online from other people and loved it. You have to try everything and it should impress....if not then you have no patience or imagination to create or enjoy this gem.

I enjoyed it when I first got it but I got quite bored of rather quickly after going through the main levels I haven't really created any levels I'm too busy with other stuff. I guess I would like it more if I could find some people to play it online with usually when I've found someone I'm kicked from the game then I never find anyone for ages. But I do like some of the creations people have made especially this Olympic themed stage I came across it was fun and impressive but some pointless stages like just having photos in a stage and nothing else which is just dull. As much as I like platformers though I've played better like DKC which will always be my favorite. But LBP is fun playing it everyone now and then.

Because there are levels and platforming and sharing and playing together and stuff like that.

First off, I didn't expect costumes to do anything and I don't know where you're getting that from, and secondly, you obviously didn't read my first post in this thread. Also, changing costumes in a game like Resident Evil 5 may not change the gameplay, but at least there's different gameplay there. LBP is just jumping and pulling and putting on a silly hat on the sackboy. That's it.

And what RPGs are you playing that changing a characters appearance doesn't change anything? All the RPGs I've played, if you change a weapon, armor, skill, whatever, your stats go up or down, thus, affecting gameplay. So clearly you don't know what you're talking about.

And since you think it's merely a dress-up game with a level editorclicketyclick
Also, besides core gameplay, provide me one example of something you can do in LBP that doesn't

A) Involve dressing something up

B) Creating a level

I loved Mario, so I thought I'd love LBP too. That wasn't the case.. The Jumping and Running in LBP doesn't feel good to me. Kinda slow or whacky..

Mario used to be my favorite Platforming game until I played LBP. LBP is the only game I've actually wanted to play again in order to get all the collectibles. I think it's awsome how even after beating the game in story mode you can go online and play other peoples levels so you never run out of new levels to play... which was the biggest selling point for me, a game where you never run out of new levels? awsome The game isnt too difficult in story mode single player, its a little tougher with multiplayer because you share lives and the screen stretches out more. The challenge comes in trying to beat each level without dying once and finding all the hidden items. (I'm doing this right now and it isn't easy) Me and my girlfriend love this game, we play it all day. The first several levels are real easy and simple but as the game goes on the levels can get crazy hard.

Whoa! thanks for all the responses lol :). Well, to be honest i was expecting the majority to say its a decent game, but its a mixed bag of comments...well too late now i bought it! I have 2 say, i thought it looked childish, but with all the levels u can download, and being able to create levels sounds awesome, would be great if i can find other people who play it when i get it ^^. Im hoping i havent wasted £16, but then again i wanted to try something new instead of just playing shooting and racing games xD

First off, I didn't expect costumes to do anything and I don't know where you're getting that from,neo_starwind

You said "the game isn't any different if the sackperson is wearing a helmet or just not wearing anything at all. It adds nothing to the gameplay."

This leads me to believe that you expected the costumes to change the game and alter the gameplay. lol

LBP is just jumping and pulling and putting on a silly hat on the sackboy. That's it.neo_starwind

Have you ever played a platformer before? Let me help you out there. from Wikipedia: "Platform game, or platformer, is a video game genre characterized by jumping to and from suspended platforms or over obstacles. It must be possible to control these jumps and to fall from platforms or miss jumps. The most common unifying element to these games is a jump button; other jump mechanics include swinging from extendable arms, as in Ristar or Bionic Commando, or bouncing from springboards or trampolines, as in Alpha Waves. These mechanics, even in the context of other genres, are commonly called "platforming," a verbification of the term "platform."

Does LBP involve the jump button? Yes. Does it involve swinging from things? Yes. Does it involve bouncing off springboards and trampoline-type things? Yes. Is it a Platformer then? Yes. That's what a platformer is. That's the definition of a platformer. What did you think it was? An RPG? If you don't like platforming, then don't buy a platforming game! You won't like it!

It's annoying how you have to do story mode in order to make a good level, because I made a new PSN account and lost all my data

absolutely amazing game. the single player is awesome (i love collecting all the items and trying to beat each level without dying) and the multiplayer is phenemenol. there areA LOT ofreally good user created levels online, and it seems like people just keep pumping them out. creating levels is a blast too, it's just tough at the beginning.

feel free to friend me my psn is atmos_phere. check out my level called T'S FUN HOUSE

enjoy lbp, it is truly a gem with unlimited replay value

I thought the game was great fun, the online is awsome, especially with a couple of friends by your side. It let's your imagination run loose. Fantastic game indeed, i reccomend it to anyone who owns a PS3 ;)

Creating is fun but to make something great takes quite a while, but can be fun.

User levels are great.
Overall its just a good game for everyone.

A break from all thekilling in shooters and monsters in hack n slash games.

True. It is a game that has the most replay value because people can just make new levels for you. Unlike other games where the replayablity means you can go online and shoot people over and over in the same modes and areas.

It's the best strait up platformer thats been released in a long time. I really wish I had time to play it more often, but I have too many games vyingfor my time right now.

I find the game too easy and it seems to be less about actual gameplay and more about collecting stuff, so I couldn't get into it. It's cute and charming, but the whole 'stuff' factor overshadows the gameplay and platforming factors.

Dude, get ready to have a blast. Its just pure jovial fun. Level creator is a work of art and i promise you will feel like a genius after putting a decent one together. Its also best to play with people, you will laugh your bones out.

Its a good game but it might get boring for some. I wish it had some deathmatch or booby trap aspects. I got bored of running through peoples levels collecting those orbs.
