LittleBigPlanet controls annoying?

Media Molecule co-founder Mark Healey believes that LittleBigPlanet's controls aren't perfect yet.

Anyone who has played the LBP beta knows that some players have an issue in moving between the planes of the 2.5D platform game.

The developer is well aware of the issue and says that the controls here aren't perfected yet.

"The Z [axis] movement is an incredibly hard thing for us to get right," Mark Healey told Eurogamer. "There's times when it annoys me actually, but we can work on that if we want, and refine it. But on the whole, we got to a good place with it I think, because we wanted to cater for my mother and someone that's a hardcore player, so it was hard to get the balance there."

But he went on to say that such features are being constantly tweaked and refined. And will be continue to be tweaked post-launch.

Am I the only one that is not getting all worked up about this game? I'm kinda feeling left out because I don't get what makes this game so awesome.

Don't say that in front of James. :)

But yeah, I'm very excited about it either.

Heaven forbid someone disagree with my opinion :) It's just fun, and there's a lot of content even if you're not into sharing. I'm reserving final judgement for the retail version.
