Looks very cool.

So, I traded this game in a while back as I was not really playing it anymore. Finished the 'regular' game and was not really feeling the user created levels. Too much of a crap shoot and too much time spent hunting for a good one.

My question is...are the developers putting new levels out? Either officially or own their own? Has the user created space become easier to navigate and find quality levels close to the games original ones?

They released a Metal Gear Solid pack that came with some new stuff like paintball guns and some new levels.

To find quality user-created levels you just have to search by highest rated and stay away from the ones that have Prizes or Trophies in the name. There's a lot of quality levels out there now. This water pack should add a ton of depth and I can't wait to see what the community does with it. I still love this game and can't wait for the kart racer version called Mod Nation Racers.

To me this is where the PS3 is ahead of the 360. I remember seeing videos when the 360 was launching with the idea of a gamer marketplace where people could share stuff with each other and what Sony has done with LBP and soon with MNR is what I was hoping for. This type of stuff should be the future of gaming IMO.

Dude that kart racer looks sick! thanks for the info. Is it made by the same people that did LBP?

No, LBP was done by Media Molecule and MNR is being done by United Front Games. Nine of the founding members were part of studio Black Box. Both games fall under something Sony has dubbed "Play Create Share" and I really like the idea behind it. That's why I pimp LBP whenever I can because it's games like these that have long shelf lives and are perfect for me as a gamer dad. I can't tell you how much fun I have with LBP playing with my daughter and I can tell that MNR will be a huge hit in our house as well.
