You do know that it has a little feature about a creation tool, right?

And if you bothreed to read my complete post you will see where I clearly stated that maybe there is more to it and the fact that I also stated that I have not been following this game.:roll:

Maybe you should spend 5 minutes reading about the game before you bother posting. :roll:

I preordered mine from gamestop and i have the code for Kratos so if someone wants to trade me after we activate it for a different code i will(supposedly we can use the code 5 times)

dude, get the lego games. lots of fun with the wife with those games.

Well, you seem awfully confused over a 9.5 score, but didn't bother reading the actual text of the review instead of posting here.

Sorry I hurt your feelings. :confused:

would I enjoy this game even though I have no interest in creating my own levels?

Not as much, but if you like platformers than hell yes. You should be able to download maps made by others too, so the fact that YOU aren't making the maps doesn't mean the game is really any more limited.

Word on the street is if you pre-ordered your copy from GameStop, some GSs will have LBP available for pickup tomorrow.

A guy down the hall from my got his copy early from Newegg (Wednesday). I've been playing and creating quite a bit...and yeah, it definitely deserves that 9.5 completely.

Anyone know how the downloadable content will work for this game? Will everything user created be FREE (maps especially)?

Has Sony said they plan to charge for new maps, or do we get free community-made maps for a lifetime with the purchase of the game?

Because the LBP servers won't go online until Tuesday, the official release date.

Just came back from GameStop. Pre-order pickup confirmed. I didn't get the call, just walked in and told the guy I pre-ordered LBP and here to pickup and he took a copy out from a draw and rung it up for me. Also picked up BioShock. I'm such a flip flopper. hehe

I've got some games to trade in, so I'll be getting this with the money. Can't wait; looks fun.

I just finished the game today. Some of the later levels have amazing design and creativity. I mean, really...a lot of it was extremely impressive, especially considering you can make it all with the creation part of the game. Speaking of that, while creating takes a long while to get used to (and creating takes a LONG time), it's fantastic, really. Even without servers being up, I'd still say this is worth the $60.

My only real gripe is one I've read other places as well: it's frustrating to have to replay the level if you run out of lives at a specific checkpoint, and the controls don't feel perfect. Jumping doesn't feel completely right...it feels like it's barely delayed and like something about the speed, distance, etc is slightly off.

That's about it, though.

And to think, MM could probably release more features/tools/levels via a patch down the road.

FYI: LBP servers will be up on 10/27, at which time you can connect to the server for online multiplayer, download and share user created content (hopefully free), AND redeem your Kratos and Nariko codes.

I've seen so many "OMG, I can't connect to the server" and "OH NOES, my Kratos code's invalid" threads at the playstation forum, I have a feeling some of these people are retarded. People don't even read the 1st page before they post their question.

So where were you supposed to get the Nariko codes? If the rumor about each code being able to be used 5 times is correct, I'll gladly trade my Kratos code for a Nariko code.

k, just redeemed and downloaded Kratos and friends + stickers using the gamestop code, and Nariko using the BB code. I'll take requests if the rumor of 5 uses per code is true. Stay tuned.

If the rumor turns out to be true, I'd like a crack at a Nariko download. I'll hopefully have my LBP copy in the next couple of days.

EDIT: I'm guessing you can probably download these without actually having the game....

I'd like a crack too. Just picked up my copy during lunch today. 7hrs to go. :[
