Little Big Planet Beta First Impressions

So after the rush of realising that i'd actually managed to get and download the Beta of the game, i thought i'd get stuck into it. There are 4 levels of the story mode to play through, well, 3 and a level that's nothing more than jumping over a skipping rope basically. They were all really fun! Nothing too taxing as it's so early on, and i'd seen most of the levels before, but it was still so enjoyable to finally play.

Next, the creator thingy:

So i think i've sat through about 2 hours of tutorials tonight and there's still tonnes more. There's so much to do it's unreal, the only problem with it seems to be my imagination not being up to scratch. I managed to make some Pacman like ghosts that chased me and jumped, after tweaking their brains. I was fairly pleased with that! Also managed to make a see-saw after seeing it on the trailer for it from a while back.
It seems like if you're gonna get anything worthwhile from the creation side of things, you need to put in a massive, massive amount of time into learning all the tricks. I mean, i've been spending all evening trying to figure out how to put wheels on something so that they actually rotate rather than stay glued on. (So any tips would really help!)

There are problems however, and i'm pretty sure it's just cos this is the beta (or demo) version of the game. There have been 3 or 4 instances tonight where the game's frozen during a loading screen, or it just refuses to load a level. That's kinda annoying, especcialy when you've spent ages creating a wooden pacman. Also, the "undo" option on the creation section takes AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGES, even if it's the tiniest of things that you're undo-ing. For example, i made a big smiley face tonight, and put a little sticker of a hat on its forhead, in hindsight i didn't think it looked that good so i clicked undo, it took about 20-30 seconds just to undo this, so imagine what it's like for massive things.


But all in all, i'm not dissapointed at all with this game. It's just annoying that we gotta wait another couple of weeks to get it!
