It's my first level... but since I saw you love MGS you may like it It has had alot of effort put in, though there were troubles with it before. (not anymore )

Time to take a create break INC review on Housework. Will be edited into this post.

Section 1
First things first I noticed this little section on the left. I collected some well placed score bubbles and found my way up the steps to the "neighbors house". Nice touch! Loved the conversation...

Very nice details on the trucks. Very detailed house! I almost killed myself on the candle! I loved swinging from the light, nice platforming. I like the music change in the bedroom to reflect the radio being on I'm having alot of difficulty in the bedroom trying to figure out what to do. Aha, I get it now. I cannot begin to overstate my satisfaction in the attention to detail here!

Section 1 : Graphics 10/10 I loved the attention to detail!
Difficulty 8/10 It was difficult, and sometimes was wondering what to do, despite the text bubble pointing me.
Fun 7/10 It was pretty fun.
Overall : 8/10 for section 1. A little more explain instead of a point, perhaps list the chores on the fridge?

Section 2

Ah a picture in the bedroom detailing what to do is just what the doctor ordered! Again more kudos on the detailing! The car part seemed kind of short/lacking. Whats with the random dropping blocks in the grocery store? I noticed they usually drop when i grab the cart. BTW i made a HUUUGE mess of your grocery store hehe

Major major flaw.... I didn't grab the catchup or the cereal and i did the freezer part and the ice block that comes down to make a ramp blocked my catchup/cereal when i went to drag it back, and i had to restart the level

I like going back to the house after the store. Very well done.

Graphics : 9/10 over all, the car part seemed kind of lacking. The grocery store and freezer especially rocked my socks. But again your attention to detail was over the top otherwise.
Difficulty : 7/10 the grocery store platforming was mildly challenging.
Fun : 8/10 : I got kind of annoyed with the grocery store mobile stairs and there were some awkward ledges in the freezer part that made it kind of hard to push the food. Also the flaw as noted above.
Overall : 7/10

Section 3


Wasn't Much a section but the end room was very detailed, again (feelin like a broken record here ) over the top attention to detail.

I rated it 5 stars, and tagged it beautiful, compared to other levels it is definitly a 5 star. But for the sake of LBPC it ranks as follows :

Graphics Overall : 10/10. I'm rehashing the excellent over the top attention to detail.
Difficulty Overall : 7/10 Some good platforming challenges, just needs some more direction in a few spots.
Fun Overall : 8/10 I had good fun and loved the concept, it was well done.

Overall : 8/10. A lil fixing up and this could be 10/10 easy!

I'll be posting this in a seperate thread as well.

Review of Ryryryans Sackboy Does Shadow Moses

Section 1

From the very get go I'm getting this nostalgic feeling! Perfect detailing on the crates/elevators. I loved the sleeping guard, and the slow elevator. Looks very promising so far! OMG the music just sets this off, im getting this outrageous urge to play MGS right now! Must finish review!

Graphics : 10/10 (am i too easy to please? ) Perfect recreation for section 1, imo.
Difficulty : 0/10 Non apparent, its an intro methinks.
Fun : 10/10. I'm a MGS buff, and ryan knows this .
Overall : 10/10 Perfect recreation so far.

Section 2

Nice Hind D, nice takeoff. I had a lot of trouble getting the block out of the truck. Ah, i got it, jump and grab it from the bottom that's sticking out, i figured out the trick . Wheres my socom Very very nice crawlspace! I'm liking this tank hanger!

Graphics : 10/10 still a great recreation...
Difficulty : 1/10 a lil trouble with the box in the truck, but nothing too crazy
Fun : 10/10 me love MGS...
Overall : 10/10 The recreation stays true but translates very well into LBP

Section 3

Love the elevator, good control. Loving the detail on the prison/prisoners. Gonna continue this section including the next checkpoint, since section 3 would technically be the ride down and walk past the cells. Moving on... excellent dialogue crawling over meryl, the darpa chief. That guy shooting the electric logs was pretty tricky in combination with the gas camera, but not un-warranted difficulty what-so-ever. Loved dragging the explosive down, again another tricky part with getting the bomb under the camera w/o dying ( i did die )

Graphics 10/10 Still flawless with what your going for
Difficulty 7/10 Not unwarranted or too extreme
Fun 10/10 simply because i love MGS so much, this is very fun for me since its an excellent recreation
Overall 10/10 Great medium difficulty, great recreation still going strong

Section 4

Starts off with a little bit o' dialogue with Ocelot, me like. Time to take him down to size. Ocelot was a very tough fight! I almost thought I wasn't going to be able to down him! Excellent difficulty, though a little tricky to figure out the pattern. Grrreat job on the infrared laser part! Excellent difficulty again on Raven and the tank battle, great recreation!

Graphics 10/10 again for a perfect recreation!
Difficulty 10/10 for ocelot, 8/10 for raven, 9/10 overall. Very difficult, but very rewarding!
Fun 10/10 being an MGS buff again merits a 10/10 for a great recreation
Overall 10/10

Over all for Ryryryans - Sackboy does Shadow Moses

Rated 5 stars, loved it through and through

Graphics 10/10 Perfect recreation
Difficulty 6/10 (not a bad thing, means medium difficulty) difficulty bosses, difficulty platforming, but not overly annoying difficult
Fun 10/10 If you love MGS, you'll love this level!
Overall 10/10 I loved it through and through, well done Ryan!

Time to play some MGS.

Aha, finally, someone else doing this.

Do this one for me, if you would:

Level name is: Boss: Danmaku Rave V1.3

PSN: Bridget_


SA also has this one on his review list, but if I recall correctly he's got college and such to deal with, so I dont think he'll be doing that for a bit.

Just be warned, this thing can get pretty brutal. It's all technically fair though, and fully ace-able.

It's not meant to be pretty, just meant to be a difficult and interesting and complex boss fight.

The level ends once the boss fight is done; it dissipates and you fall through the floor to where the scoreboard is. So if you just cant quite put a stop to the thing, well, there's nothing after that you'd be missing. Were I to stick ANYTHING else in there.... and I mean ANYTHING.... the game would explode.

Could you try my Level Series?

-in order of creation-

BELOW THE ROOT - Chapter 1 : Green-Sky (more rpg than platformer)
BELOW THE ROOT - Chapter 2 : Along the Roots (more platformer than rpg)
BELOW THE ROOT - Prequel : Sewing Seeds (sampling of the first 2 but with some new things as well)

Very Soon - BELOW THE ROOT - Chapter 3 : Temple Grund (a good mix so far and about 50% complete! It is a darker more disturbing level though )

Anyways... that would be cool and very cool as well! I hope ya like em'

I've got a few rough draft reviews typed up, yours included. I work 60 hours a week at 6 days a week, and the past two have been 7 days a week. I also have a 16 month old. The reviews will come, and they will be quality similiar to the reviews I have done. I'm also trying to play through FF4 : TAY, MGS4, sims 3, still playing WoW. So these reviews must be done in parts to keep them up to par with the first two I wrote.

Hope thats satisfactory. Like I said, I've got a few rough reviews I'd like to go over with a fine comb and replay the levels. Sorry for the delay, I've had quite the full plate over the past few weeks.

Grab the enemies to defeat them or leave them alone. Don't touch the enemies during the eclipse. Grab any floating clock that you see as these are the checkpoints that I've worked into the level.

SOrry, It's been rally long since I requested my review and the sequel is already out. DO you think that you could review SIREN: The Lost World [Episode 2-Otherside] instead of the one that I asked for? It would really help me improve for the third installment. THX! but if you can't then that's ok! I'll improve from comment from the first.2009-07-14 05:34:00
