You are simply wrong, the gameplay is great. Make no mistake - this is a fantastic game and those who've spent time with it by and large love it. This is not just game websites, not just media outlets, those in the beta are especially having a ton of fun. Since you're so convinced that this game sucks, and with the unfounded comparisons to lair, haze and perfect dark, what do you see this game reviewing at? Just curious.

The problem with this level is it's trying to force super mario brothers into the LBP engine. In the form shown it clearly doesn't work but give them time and they might come up with something better.

or It is my opinion and by nature of opinion I can't be wrong the way I see it is simply people being in awe of the game, right now the precieved possibilities and the excellent visual style of the backgrounds overwhelm peoples senses and they are amazed,

I'll reserve final judgement untill it is out, but from what I've seen I think the gameplay looks aweful, and without more control over the gameplay model the creator is basically decorating media molecules games,

and frankly I'm getting sick of the elitist attitude that certain playstation 3 fans are getting were they've decided their opinions are empirial scientific fact, especially about little big planet and TalkingParrot's Resistence 2 threads about how the game is the biggest thing since sliced bread, it's your opinion and only your opinion your entitled to it, but you know what I can have my mine aswell and given the nature of opinion it inherently isn't wrong

and personally I think little big planet's gameplay looks aweful,

The difference between your and TalkingParrot's opinion however is that he has actually played the game, same with a couple people in the beta from the forums while you have solely seen videos. Logically speaking if I were to choose whose opinion is probably more based in fact and experience, I would have to choose them.

yeah and at a time so was lair, and so was haze, and so was perfect dark, and so was blinx, and so was samba de amigo, and so was rise of the robots, and so was blasto  and so were dozens of other bad games,

praise from websites ultimately means little,

I know people seem to forget when games for their system of choice is praised untill it actually materializes,

I don't care what magazines say, the gameplay looks aweful, and the only thing moving this game is the interesting graphics style, so I'll reiterate, unless gameplay can be heavily modified by the end user the community creations will never be great as the core gameplay looks plain and simple terrible

Yeah, specially that pseudo-3d plane they are using. Platformers work better when they work on a straight 2d plane.
