LBP may not be the casual-core bridge sony wants it to be.

LBP is a platformer, lol. Its not all about building maps, its about playing the millions of levels that will be created. 50 levels come with the game at launch, this was more than enough to keep players occupied during the Mario days, was it not?

I think a lot of you are missing the point of this game in a lot of ways. Just because you don't like one aspect of the game doesn't mean its going to fail. This isn't only for the hardcore like shooters are.

Some people will buy these games just because of the sackboys. Some for the platforming capabilities of the game. Some for the community aspects. Some people for the freedom on being able to build anything you want. Other people just for the hype.

Also, have you ever heard of LEGO's before? If you enjoy building levels its not about the finished project, but getting there and trying out new ideas. You dont have to start all over again on ever level, you can edit other levels and add your own twists to it.

And in a lot of cases, you are not building a level entirely by yourself. In my case, I will be building this levels with my GF most of the time (LBP is the game she is most looking forward to this year.)

This game is absolutely going to be a hit. I have no doubts about it. It will be the most talked about game this year. (Yes, more than Gears 2)

Another great post from someone who "gets it"
