    I popped in LittleBigPlanet earlier today. Naturally, I went to check out the user created levels. A high percentage of them were survival levels (tired of those damn bomb levels!) and levels based on other games. I'm really starting to think that the people who still play this game forget what this game is all about. Original levels and platforming. Does anyone else feel this way, or am I crazy? Wait, I already know I'm crazy, so does anyone else feel this way?

    @Bucketdeth: That's probably true, but the front pages should have some of the best levels, and not the recycled ideas.

    Well, seeing as how "losing it's cool" is a saying about someone getting angry, I'd have to say no.
     
    But really, of course a game that has been out for over a year now will have its player count dwindle, but those still dedicated and talented enough to make these levels still do, so no worries.

    I feel like the community is about equal to what it used to be.  Right when it came out there was a bunch of crappy achievement levels that were popular.  The stuff on the 'cool levels' page always sucked.  It's one of my biggest complaints about the game.  The system for finding good levels is absolute crap.  I really like the game overall, but if I could easily play excellent user made levels the game could have been something extremely special.

    @Whisperkill: you can't understand why people like platformers? or a platformer where you can share your level with others? Wow. Your gaming frame of reference must be very narrow.

    I felt this way about 2 weeks after it came out and I bought it. I would have loved this game if it weren't for the dying for no reason bit, the clunky ass controls and terrible online play where incompetent people take all your lives at a checkpoint. I just wish they would have spent a little more time making the Sackboys a little more precise. I know it's physics based but that doesn't mean they have the feel like they weigh 150 lbs.

    Played it for a few days since I got it with my PS3 Slim deal. I thought it was okay, it's only Stephen Fry's voice that held my attention for long. My main gripe is controlling the little bastard, it's like he's covered in butter or something.

    I totally agree. that was what made me sell the game afterwards. I just got tired of finding boring level after boring level in the excellent sections. I decorated my pad, left and never talked about it again, until now.

    yeah exactly my thoughts.  
    if all you could find was stupid unoriginal levels than you suck at searching.  
     
    do yourself a favor and go to the neogaf forum thread for LittleBigPlanet, they do an excellent job of constantly keeping people posted on the latest and greatest user-created levels.

    I played it at Christmas and it just felt like an average 2D platformer with a lick of paint and a patronising voiceover. No amount of user generated content could make it worth playing.

    There are very few well planned levels... theres many beautiful and artistic levels but few that are much fun and that is probably due to the games complete lack of mechanics... grab, jump and shoot is your lot and only the shooting feels right (this has all be said  a million times before by a million people..but yknow)  
    It's a distraction game... theres no real meat to it... pop it in mess with it for a bit switch it off then go play a  proper game.  
    I built a level... I spent forever checking and rechecking it so it was finishable without suiciding yourself or getting stuck in scenery... nobody has played it....and if they have I dont think theyve finished it because the game STILL doesnt have a leaderboard  for your level on the title page. along with many many many other things they said were coming/going to be fixed. 
     
    the lag is still pretty fun.
