Good thing LBP2 has the gameplay to back it up then. Its gameplay is in no way an aftethought, I had tremendous fun with the first game despite never creating a level.

Even if they fixed the broken gameplay of the first one this one still has to go against Galaxy 2, and I highly doubt that it will be that good.

Obviously you have no idea what LBP is about. It isn't just about creating. It isn't just about gameplay. It's about the sum of its parts which come together to create an experience that is not just creative but  inspires creativity by providing tools which fuel the community.

In response to the "broken gameplay" comment: Obviously you have some kind of vendetta against this game as you keep downplaying its features and outright insulting sackboy's jumping skills (not cool).

While Galaxy 2 is a creative and fun game it is not innovative, it takes no steps forward in its previously established gameplay methods, it does not foster creativity in its communtiy, it does not take advantage of any online functionality, and most importantly it is not nearly as accessible or as deep as LBP. These are the areas where LBP shines and to dismiss them would be a tradgedy.

The jumping skills need to be insulted because they are utterly pathetic.

I have already addressed this creativity. Going by your logic Half-Life 1 is the greatest end all be all game because it allowed CS, TF, and dozens of other mods to come out because of it. The editor has no bearing on the gameplay itself. As I already said before, there have been many many editors with far more moddability than this and their games were never rated on them. They were awarded because of their gameplay, not their modding tools.
