color me impressed.

Yes it does look fantastic but I still do not understand the point of the game

I can't see the point either. I've just watched a video, on Gamespot, of the developer and a journalist building cardboard fighting robots that sort of floated around on the screen swinging their arms at each other! In another video clip the journalist can be seen dressing up a couple of the in game characters but at no point does anyone mention why they created the robots or dressed the characters up.

When I first heard the name LBP my first thought was of LBA (Little Big Adventure) on the PC which I enjoyed thoroughly but this appears to be nothing like that, indeed it appears to be nothing more than a simple construction game. Though why and what you do with your constructions is still a mystery, (to me at least).

Another thing that puzzled me was some of the comments posted on Gamespot. People were calling this title a potential system seller! Now maybe there is more to this game than I've seen on Gamespot but it would have to be a hell of a lot more to make me consider buying it.

So, does anyone know what the point of LBP is?

Having fun ?

It seems to be the b*****d child of Garry's Mod, The Incredible Machine and The Sims. Supposedly there's a more rigid 'level' structure to be revealed at some point, in that you can "create levels for your friends", but they've been very quiet on that side of things.

I'd imagine that anyone not really interested in it, unless there's a lot more of a 'point' to it, is possibly not the target market, but they may have a much bigger plan to be revealed yet.

I'd buy it in an instant if it were available now, though.
