LittleBigPlanet has over 600,000 user-created levels

Occasionally, game developers launch press releases for no other reason than to proclaim how totally awesome their games are. One such release just landed in our inbox courtesy of Media Molecule, describing the many accolades that have been bestowed upon LittleBigPlanet -- though we were more interested in a few statistics hidden in the print: Altogether, LBP's 1,934,700-strong online community has produced an average 35,373 levels a week since the game's release, for a whopping total of 646,135 user-generated levels.

Sure, 350,000 of those are simple trophy-collection levels, 200,000 are item-sharing stages, and 95,500 have Phoenix Games-esque production values -- but 635 of the levels stamped on LBP's highly texturized globe are precious, precious gems. That's more than enough to keep us busy for quite some time.

When are they going to make it so we can creat a level with friends online? Did they just say the hell with it and threw it out.

Heart 4 Heart me! find my user name xJERSESx heart my level and i will heart yours.

They should change the damn little planet to a list or something...searching levels in there is a mess. I also find hard to make my level gets attention i know its not that good but i have seen worst with 1,0000 visits and hearts.

I'll play your level, if you play mine. I'll play it today, you'll notice my comment. I agree about the hard to get attention part though, after all that time developing your level, it's a shame that no one really takes notice while the worst things take the limelight.

Just a warning, my level is rather hard...

That's what makes it so damn hard to get my level noticed. I literally spent hours on it and only 20 people played it. Even if I spent years on it, what difference would it make? and for the record I think my game is pretty good.

Well it's a shame that not a lot of these levels are played, for example there is a level called Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core Intro which rocks and needs more hearts as well as the author (obviously not me).
But cheers to the LittleBigPlanet Community, and to MediaMolecule also, for mantaining as one of the best so far.
