After seeing everyone who got into the LBP beta and came out loving the game despite their previous reservations, I was really excited for the game and when I finally got a chance play the beta (thanks to USA Today) I was ecstatic.
I played through all the single player levels available and was left unimpressed. The levels were charming and introduced the gameplay in a fun way but the actual platforming fell short for me. I guess I was expecting more than just jumping and holding on to things. Also, I felt the jumps were imprecise and jumping on a small ledge could be a real pain.
To see if it was only a problem with the single player levels, I then went to try some of the user created level. I have to admit some levels were really cool (a MSG1 level comes to mind) but after trying a couple of them I quickly got bored.
I didn't really try the multiplayer aspect of the game because online multiplayer was just an unplayable lag fest. So maybe there's something more there but I don't know...
So am I dead inside or did anybody else fail to fall in love with LittleBigPlanet after the beta?
