The first level made me want to buy Plants vs. Zombies. Yesterday&#8217;s level made me nostalgic for moon landing simulators, which are among the first PC games I remember playing. Today&#8217;s level made me consider my PS3 controller, drowsily, and then look over at my Xbox, which has been quiet for the last couple of weeks and is clearly in need of some attention. And deserving of it too.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not that the level is bad. Not at all. <a href=\"http:\/\/lbp.me\/v\/x0keyx\">Monster Pinball 2<\/a> looks great and a lot of people love it. It&#8217;s fine. I guess. If no other pinball games existed, I might keep tinkering with it. But it&#8217;s just&#8230;so&#8230;lagggggggggg&#8211;I can&#8217;t even finish that. For me it runs incredibly slow. As do the other couple of LBP2 community pinball games I tried. At some point, as I was playing them, I suddenly snapped out of it. Why mess around with substitutes, when you&#8217;ve got the real thing?<\/p>\n<p>As much as I&#8217;m loving these community levels, you&#8217;ll have to excuse me for a bit.
