It seems that everything I've seen and read about LittleBigPlanet thus far has only focused on the level/character creation aspect of the game. Granted, this is a very large part of the game... but what about the gameplay?

In all the videos I've seen, the gameplay honestly looks quite sub-par. Any time developers have demonstrated levels, they have difficulty jumping up even small little ledges, often resulting in death somehow. And I have yet to see any enemies in the game (though I seem to recall reading somewhere that the game will in fact contain enemies).

For me, character creation in games (and really, any kind of customization) makes me go nuts! I spend as much time as possible carefully crafting whatever aspect of the game, and it's usually a big selling point with me. However, when there's a level creator it's really tough for me to actually enjoy a level I've created. This is because I know the level - I know all the tricks and I know exactly how to beat it. Since the level was born from my mind, there's essentially zero exploration in it.

This is my problem with LittleBigPlanet. If I create all these wonderful levels, sure it'll be sorta neat running through them afterwards, but I'm not sure that's something I'm going to want to pay money for. Sure, levels that tons of other users create will be available online, but unless there are some really compelling platform levels up for grabs, I'm just not sure how fun the game will actually be once I start playing. Time will tell I suppose.
