Man, you are really missing out! There are a ton of user levels that are even more fun and creative than Media Molecule’s story levels. There are a number of users creating their own mini series that are a ton of fun to follow.

I think the game is great, but I don’t want to wade through user created levels. I want more of the story mode and more ad-ons and costume packs don’t count! My wife and I had a blast playing through story mode together, but once we finished that we stopped playing the game. We’d easily pay 10-15 dollars for a set of coherent levels!

I don’t think we disagree – I was concerned that a game so many were calling a ‘system seller’ that hadn’t managed to sell a million in a month would be seen in a very negative light in this market and therefore killed as an idea.

I’m glad they understand that the market that has Mario Kart DS on the top 10 lists 4 years later is different than the typical console action game selling 80% in four weeks.

See, I don’t think the sales were THAT disappointing. Yes it was a hyped game, but come one, no matter how hyped it was a cute-looking platform game like this was never going to light the world on fire in a crowded release period with so many games in well established franchises coming out at the same time.

From the stats I’ve seen it sold over 600k in the US alone by end of December, and the last-minute delay/recall pushed it to late October and sapped some of the excitement out of the launch. I’d say that’s actually pretty damn good for two full months in a crowded market.

It is nice to see that it has solid support – sales were terribly disappointing, only a few hundred thousand in the first few weeks despite the high profile and position in the hot holiday rush period. It took months and months to crack 1 million …

I would agree with some of your points to an extent. LBP certainly hasn’t caught on with the mainstream as much as hoped for, but to me that’s more caused by a lacking advertising push by Sony than problems with the game itself.

And I think it’s far too premature to say SackBoy won’t become a star mascot. The PS3 cycle is really only beginning and I have a feeling LBP is going to be one of those games that just keeps a steady selling rate over the long haul.
