A few quick reviews of some stages I played last night. It's all part of my plan to start reviewing every LBP level I play.
Real Coaster (Theme Park)
by Chaus94
This French-made level captures all the corniness of a low budget carnival. You’ve got your roller coaster, your haunted elevator, your target range, and some sort of bouncing ball ride that made me motion sick just watching it. I’m not sure whether this is praise or not... the level emulates the real life sickening experience of being at a sketchy carnival well enough to show a good amount of effort put into the design. And hey, it gave me a chance to practice my French.
3/5
Sasuke: The Ultimate Obstacle Course (Ninja Warrior) V2.6
by xlr8g024
Based on some random Japanese show of the same name, this level tries to emulate a series of obstacles, such as the rope climb or the pole vault. It fails, but still, this is a great level to play with a friend. You’ll have fun laughing at how many times you die or at how poorly designed some of the obstacles are or at how often you have to start over because the design is broken... oh wait... this is a terrible level.
1/5
The Bunker
by poms
Wow. Just... wow. From the start, this level exudes polish. From the darkened cell (replete with cushy mattress) which marks your starting point to the underwater sequence to the marble maze that ends the level, everything shines brighter than... well, something very bright. Perhaps most impressive is the ending sequence, complete with fade ins and outs and a scrolling preview of the next level poms has got planned. I only hope that the next effort incorporates some awesome platforming alongside the presentation. As it is, this stands like a walk in the park... but a very beautiful park I’d keep going back to.
5/5
Run Sackboy... Run!
by superskag
Okay, so it’s not the most innovative level of all time, and there’s some questionably thin platforming and object dodging, but it all makes up for it with this one section that launches you at supersonic speeds into the sky and onto a cloud while rain falls in the foreground. I like cool stuff like that. It makes me smile. And a smile is worth a few stars.
3/5
Yggdrasil
by dan_e2040
Hey, that’s the World Tree from Norse mythology! Don’t I feel special knowing that? Alright, so every video game player’s been a Norse buff ever since Odin showed up in Final Fantasy IV. I’ve never been to Yggdrasil, so I can’t tell you how accurate this level is. But based on this, I’d say the world tree is filled with deadly spikes, a need for well-timed jumps, and an awesome tree ship. It also looks really pretty.
4/5
