I rented LBP and it stinks.

So just like any other highly reviewed and hyped game...it starts out great, everything is new and it feels like the game will last a long time. Well it didn't end up that way really. I can say the single player campaign is just a novelty and a waste of time. Why is it a waste of time? Well because the gameplay isn't very fun. Picture it anyway you want, but it is ultimately a 2d sidescroller and I have been done with those every since I sold my Sega Genesis when I was a kid. So the biggest part of a game(gameplay) isn't all that great, that poses a big problem with me actually liking it. Been trying the level editor and it is really cool to use and it's great how simple they made it, but at the same time can be very in-depth. I finished making a level and I played in it. A problem came up, while the gameplay was still boring, the other bad part was I already knew the level inside out since I made it...so where does the actual fun come in? Well the actual fun is making levels rather then playing in them. The actual fun is, downloading other peoples' creations and seeing what they've made instead of actually playing the game. So what is this...a game? Well if you call this a game then you honestly have poor taste because I don't see where the fun is. I just don't understand how people can be having a fun time actually playing this game. I can even see the level editor getting dry and soon it will be a very forgettable game. Well good thing I rented it. I rented LBP and it stinks.
sackboy cant even double jump or even do a basic attack. The creation is amazing but the actual platforming gameplay is among the most shallow in platforming history.I rented LBP and it stinks.
Shame..
Uh huh... sure. LBP is fantastic. But hey, you're entitled to such an opinion.
Uh....I'm sorry you feel that way......?

Littlebigplanet is an incredible game. It's my favorite game of the year..so far.

Have to play it though, but looking at videos, the platforming aspects look boring and not that fun. Incredible presentation though and insane creation
I own the game and I like it. but you do have a point, part of the fun is downloading and trying other people's work.
look for other user created levels. that is where the game shines at. I Hope by the time I get a PS3 and LBP there will be a lot of good level for me to play.
cant say that i agree with you, but i havent got my chance to play the game yet
Blog it.
This game is incredible...... Its fun and so simple i can enjoy it with my 7 year old sister.
To each his own opinion, we all have different preferences. I play the game everyday. I don't create levels because all my ideas are done better by others online and the 4 player co-op is fun.
this really blog material
Ive been saying this for quite a while now, this game is fun for 2 weeks max while you play user created levles and after that you wont remember that wether this game ever existed or not lol.I will get this game later but only for user created levels
I think the game is great, however I have to admit that some of my excitement went away after publishing my first level. I still like it a lot and want to experiment with more level creations, but it's not quite as super addicting as I thought it would be.
Thanks for the advice. I'm glad LBP got delayed because I would've impulsed bought it. Now all the unnecessary hype has vanished in a quickness, renting this game or even waiting till it goes on the bundle bin or sales bin, is the best choice to get the game.I'll probably even ask somebody to get it for me as a gift because I would rather spend my money on other better games out there.
I say blog it.But, in the spirit of the topic, I have to agree with you. I have had second thoughts about this game since the day I bought it. Some days it is an amazing game, others it is just boring. To me it is an average game at best and is not what people make it out to be.
I agree. LBP wears thin after a short time. The emperor has no clothes.
