The first LBP didn't do much for me, but I am head over heels in love with the sequel. Everything just feels much tighter and the visuals just pop, giving the whole package a much more cohesive feel. The single player story levels are up there with some of the best 2d platformers around-- I'm constantly getting Super Mario World vibes because of the way they've mixed freedom with ultra-tight controls (especially when I'm grabbing and throwing objects). It's worth noting that World 3 is an homage to Brazil. FUCK YES I SAID BRAZIL. And the downloadable levels? Already I've played countless amazing levels that go far beyond anything I could imagine a game like this having.
As someone who has already played, completed and loved Mass Effect 2 five times now, I feel comfortable saying LBP 2 has already proven itself the superior game. Since they both came out this week on PS3, I have to recommend getting LBP 2 over ME2. I have a feeling that barring any surprises, my game of the year has already been chosen. This is a system-seller folks.
