The exact cause of the issue is unknown, though there's a quick and dirty workaround (which worked for us, when we experienced the glitch): If you get stuck on the loading screen, turn your controller off, and the level should actually load. Once you're in the level, you can turn your controller back on and get back to whatever it was you had set out to doMedia Molecule has stated that they are looking into the issue.

LittleBigPlanet 2 introduces Versus levels, which are levels specifically designed for head-to-head battle. These are in addition to the 30 story levels and act as little mini-games for you to hop into with friends and family. Remember, the game supports online and local play for up to four players in every level, but that can be just be more Sackboys jumping around collecting stickers. Versus levels are designed for multiplayer so you have a sense of purpose � sink the most balls in a game of pool, score the most in a game of air hockey, etc.If you would prefer to watch instead of read, IGN also has a video review right here.
"At the time, the original felt like an incredible creative kit, but one that required sweat, tears and the odd sulk," says OPM. "This, however, is full of simple-to-grasp tools, all with huge potential - and you could easily lose more time to LBP2 than any other game released in 2011."Don't forget -- the demo is coming soon, so everyone should be able to try out the game.
Sackboy�s Prehistoric Moves � This is a brand new spin-off PSN title that showcases all of the fun that can be had when Sackboy gets his hands on the PlayStation Move motion controller. The player with the PlayStation Move controller leads the charge, flicking switches and triggering platforms to help the other players, using DualShock Controllers, through each level.If you're not a PlayStation Plus member, you can pick it up for $5.99 next week. If you are a PlayStation Plus member but don't have a Move controller, you should probably still pick it up -- PlayStation Plus deals like this one are often rotated out, so don't take the risk of waiting too long to download it!
