I really hope it doesnt :(

i mean, its actually something new and undeniably charming and I'm certainly going to preorder it...BUT

how long do you think people are going to play this when the vast majority of users will painfully discover in the first week or so that they aren't nearly as creative as they would like to think they are?

And is the platforming really going to be that good that it will keep people coming back for more?

And what is this I've heard about good users being approved to sell their content. Does that mean that the few creative guys that come about will eventually be able to go back and charge for the levels they already created? or can they only charge for levels they create after being approved.

either way, I doubt I'll ever pay for a level

also, I'm just going to go out an a limb here...but probably 90% of all the levels that will be uploaded will either be utter crap or will be penis shaped or something like that. How will we ever find the good ones? Well ok, I'm sure people like us will find them, because we actually talk to each other and let each other know whats good and whats not...but what about more casual users?

Then again, I haven't exactly kept a hawks eye on this, so perhaps there are systems in place to stop all of this. If thats the case, please enlighten me

From my understanding, there is a comment system where you can tell whether a level is good or not.

Also, you can report levels, they can be removed by moderators.

They have to have some sort of system in place.

That's easy. A ratings system were users vote on a scale of 1 to 5 (or 1 to 10) for a level and those user ratings get averaged together. It would be a breeze for Sony to implement it.

I read somewhere that LBP will have a rating system for it's user created downloads similar to Halo3s. so the top rated levels should be on top.

Nice job dissing people's creativity. When Doom 2 came out, people made very creative levels. But it just won't happen for teh LittleBigPlanet because you assume there is no creativity in people? Wow...

It's not my kinda thing but who knows if it ends up being a big deal and is really great or something I will buy it a few months down the road.

Letting other people be the guniea pig ftw.

There will always be someone creative out there. You actually believe that people won't be able to make creative levels in LBP? Why make such an assumption?

I dont see how LBP is going to fail. I think the reviews for this game will be obviously AAA, and the worst thing I can only see happening is if sales aint as high as it was anticipated by sony, but I even doubt that will happen since we all know sony is going to advertise the living hell out of this and resistance 2 and any of its major games.
