^Nice. Did you attempt the custom levels available in the GOTY edition? I found them even better than the storyline. Some of them are genuinely challenging as well.
As for LBP 2, for now I've completed Da Vinci's hideout, Victoria's lab and the Factory of a better tomorrow. Aced a couple of chapters as well. Almost 50% through. The side missions are better than the ones that were in LBP 1. Besides, the spawn point has 2x lives compared to LBP 1, which IMO is another good addition. Used to get owned in some levels in LBP 1 and had to restart the level from scratch. :ashamed:
