This is pretty sweet.  Makes me wish I had a PS3 instead of a 360.
Thats ok though, I still have Gears of War 2 to look forward to.  If is wasn't for that, I would've already traded in my 360 for a PS3 for this game.

Thanks for the insight....

I know its early days and all that, but these levels hardly look exciting to play. 

How long do you think the novelty of playing  "themed" sackboy levels will last?

I can't see how this is anything more than a sloppy  platformer with a strong visual style and a level editor.

If you want to be proud about being lazy on the spelling and basically making the English language seem stupid, so be it.

Ah man, you gotta find the light saber level.  It's really multiplayer only but there are 2 sticks that are 1/2 electrified.  You just duke it out with the lightsabers and jet packs.  Last man standing wins.

World of Colour and Gladiators are great levels. There's an awesome Ninja Warrior level I was playing the other night that you should check out. If you haven't already.
Here's the you tube vid of it.

There is talk that some of the more involved levels like that Gradius one were actually done by developers and are viral marketing tools.  The reason is that they are a little too good for being available so soon after the game came out.

I'll again point out that if they made it a $20 DLC without the single player part it would be much more enticing to pick up.

Those levels are awesome!
ReTarDedFisHy will be sure to check those out :D

So has anyone made a Giant Bomb-themed level? That would be kickass, plain and simple.

I just love these kind of laid back videos. Fun to watch and it just feels relaxed, away from all the metacritic score raves and stuff like that. :)

Feels like coming home and just relaxing with something fun, natural and laid back. Awesome. This is why I love Giantbomb.com. It feels like the gaming world is out there doing all 100% serious coverage of everything and Giantbomb.com is over there with it's lucha-deer and just chilling.

Ah, floaty controls! GAH THAT WOULD REALLY SUCK if it was a platformer that relies HEAVILY on precise controls and jumps for the bulk of its fun. OH WAIT god damn it I can't beleive so many places have given it a 5 star and ALL EXPRESS that the controls are the utter shits as anyone in the beta(which I was) had found out.

Also "there are levels made to help you get trohpies easily, which is cool" to paraphrase the video maker. Uh sure so you get trohphies for watching a tech demo and now you'll get trophies because some kiddie made a simplisitic level. So what the hell is the point of trohpies then if they're watering them down so much?

Another good one, which alot of reviewers should retro-review this title is the nazi copyright protection in place now, where if you make a level with any copy righted assets or even SHAPED similar to something ie. Super Mario Bros your level will be nerfed. Ok sure "build anything" eh? What about a big ol' astrix there denoting that "anything" actually means things that aren't based on already proven fun platformers. Alot of people bought this garbage just to share they're pathetic remakes of alot of games, now they won't even be allowed to do that!

Also buying costumes LOL!

Btw that boku or bukkake w/e the hell MS is coming out with looks worse. At least this has some sort of style and substance.

I wish this was for the X360 also. It deserves better sales numbers than it got.
