Those levels are there for two reasons:

1. So they can say you're buying a game and not just an editor (even though you really are just buying the editor)
2. Give you a template

They may turn it into a campaign, they may add a story, and I'm sure they will show some cool things but that still doesn't change the fact the focus on the game is creating.

And it's funny that you bring up Mario.  Super Mario Bros. has 36 levels and can easily be finished in a few hours.  Would you pay $60 for that?  Of course not.

So why would you pay $60 for 50 levels that you could more than likely finish in a day?  You wouldn't unless you are in fact an idiot or just don't care about the money.  You're spending $60 because you want to buy the level editor and share with other people.  Again, look at the focus of the game.

 

if you have to call it something call it a game maker.. cause you don't just make levels. you can make a lot of different gameplay and gametypes, and you can alter your sackboy aswell.. so calling it a level editor is undermining what it is. It's a creative tool for sharing and having fun.... and a game. ;)

Fine, it's an editor (not a game maker).  :-p
