8.5/10
+ Campaign. Great narration, really fun, lots of hidden items/unlockables, some incredibly addictive minigames.
+ Co-op. It's so much fun to just jump online with a friend or two to check out new levels.
+ Local/online mixed play. Play with someone online and locally simultaneously.
+ Large variety of quality user made levels. If you can't find the good ones you aren't trying hard enough.
+ Very flexible leaderboard comparisons. Compare against other people on your system, on your friends list, and overall. Every game should have this functionality.
- Netcode. Really crappy netcode. Random disconnects, unbearable lag when playing with some people. Sometimes it takes a long time to load user made levels.
- Media Molecule deleting levels. There were some griefers who got some good non-infringing levels deleted which was stupid. This is mostly resolved now.
- Plane switching is not completely reliable. Sometimes you don't end up where you want to be.
- Playing with random people is a complete crapshoot.
I had it rated higher initially, but this is a based on my entire experience with it thus far.
