I managed to get a beta key today.

So far we (my son and I) have only played it for 3 hrs.

Yes, it is a creative system. It is by far the best example of that on the console. My 5 and a half year old son was able to figure out the interface and was able to make a level.

Feels a lot better than Home, the only other “build your own world” type game I’ve used on the PS3.

It does have a bit of a learning curve, and the tutorials are drudgery, but once you get past that it is not too bad. So far I have not been able to test the online component, maybe it will work tomorrow (servers must be busy or something)

I was lucky enough to win a beta code over the weekend. I finally had a chance to download it later Sunday evening. I only played the game for a few hours, but the game managed to exceed my high expectations. I have to admit I only played a handful of user created levels, but there were a few gems out there.

The editing tools are easy to use, but the amount of creative freedom is almost over whelming. With some more practice, I think I might be able to create something worth playing myself.

Just to add some balance to the comments I must say that the user created levels in the beta so far really isn’t anything to write home about.

At some point there will definitely be levels worth playing, made by a few dedicated user, like in a number of (PC) games in the past, and I’m still buying the game, but only for the levels it’s shipped with.

I cannot wait. SO eagerly anticipated. My question is. Will this spur sales of the Playstation eye since I haven’t heard of any other way to get textures into the game?

I watched G4′s Xplay LBP special the other night, you can do so much with this game it’s impressive. It’s going to keep me busy for a while.

My Flipper Madness level was hearted over a hundred times^^ I didn’t even need 4hrs to make it… AWESOME

I used to make levels for Q3A (i.e. recreating local stuff like our trainstations etc.) as a hobby. Nothing professional, but it still was fun. LBPs MAJOR advantage is the ease of use. Q3rad etc. are very complex tools, but they allow you to do EVERYTHING you can imagine. In LBP you can’t… Even materials etc. are prepared, so you don’t need to worry about that.

It will sell like hotcakes over a very long time!
