(I didn't know if this thread belonged in this section or the Story Levels section, mods please move it if it is in the wrong place!-plas) I got the kit a couple of hours ago and I was BLOWN AWAY by the quality of the levels! (I might have missed out My Verdicts -SPOILERS AHEAD (if you can count them as spoilers...)- Port Royal +I really liked the intro, it was very well made and true to the beginning of the first film. +The way you changed the water level was genius. Pirate Town +The style used in this level was great. The visuals were brilliant. (Can't remember much more of this one) A Navy Frigate Only one point on this one... +ENDING! (You'll know what I mean when you play it ) Cursed Bay +The transition from towns to a tropical island was very nicely done. -I found the crabs hard to jump off though :/ +But a FREE COSTUME made up for it! +The characters looked good. The Kraken!! +I want to know HOW this level was done. It is just brilliant! +I liked the original 'Shoot-Em-Up with the cannons. (I only realised on my 5the acing try that you had to hit the red lights! D'oh ) -The fireballs from the other ships were the same colour as the background of the ship, so sometimes I didn't see them :/ Diving for Treasure +Fun and addictive little minigame -The bubble anchors were sometimes right above a spike ball, so I died a lot :/ So that's my verdict! What did you think?!

I really enjoyed the levels and im glad I bought the pack, The Kraken was absolutely the best of all, the light and sound effects were perfect and it looked just like the movie. I made a Kraken of my own about 5 months ago and I was thinking about using it in a level but now I realise it will never be better than this one so i'll give up on that idea. The levels were nice and they suited the pirate movies perfectly but the water looked a little messy for some reason ;| I think it looks kind of strange when you have 3 layers of level and about 50 layers of water.. Luckily we have the layerglitch so we can make even better looking levels

I love The Kraken!!! level. It was a much better climax than Metal Gear REX in my opinion. The mechanics, the design and the music made it an epic and very enjoyable finale to an excellent set of levels.

The Kraken and A Navy Frigate were definitely my favourite levels in the pack. I can't wait to start seeing some pirate themed community levels!

I didn't think the kraken was all that TBH. I was disappointed - a year to come up with a single set of levels and that was the best boss they could manage? Hmmmmm.... Other than that they were great - really pretty and just lovely set design with some awesome stickering. I like levels with good stickering and decoration because then I can steal all their ideas They are also a nice showcase of simple-to-implement water mechanic ideas to encourage the community and give them a little bump. Even if they did steal my floaty door mechanic lol. Crabs were my favourite. I think I shall be making some crabs of my own soon Oh and the new materials / objects / decorations look great, haven't had a proper play with them yet though and I assume that wasn't what you wanted this thread about. Wheelie good switches may get an update with the new grabby wheel thing.

Although I only talked about the levels in my first post, yeah you are allowed to talk about the objects, stickers etc. I'm not going to give you a detention or anything You liked the crabs? I found them infuriatingly hard to use! I must be dumb or something.. lol

You "Must"? From who? I think it was plasmavore and you did it because you didn't want detention savvy?

You liked the crabs? I found them infuriatingly hard to use! I must be dumb or something.. lol Most of them were just passing you from claw to claw, and you can grab them. The ones you jump on weren't to bad, but I can see how it might be awkward. I just thought they were cute And you can hug thems.

Lol, crab hugs. (Haha, I just made a typo which I changed- I wrote carbs- lol)

I played it on my parents dying television so I couldn't make out all of it, but they seemed like good fun. I noticed that they also stole rtm's cannon fling! I think you did it better rtm, but sadly people will be less impressed when we remake out beta level. +really detailed +great new set of stickers, materials, and decorations (the ropes, netting, and sails!!) +new wheely good grabby interface... +The music seemed pretty good +I loved the water puzzles and such. -the Kraken left a bit to be desired, but that may just be because there were 3 of us and it was super easy. -No Jellyfish John (too many successful hugging of sea creatures) All in all, I think the pack is worth it for the new content, and I think the levels are just an added bonus on top of that.

Yeah, the Krakken was about as dangerous as the rollercoaster that bears its name here in the US. Went down like... well heck, you can finish that off with your own seaworthy piratey-speak... lower deck port and stern cannons manned-- I jumped back and forth on the uppers-- I died once! Too easy that part! But the rest, at first glance, seemed much more involved than Mm's previous attempts... This is no mystery/history level. It was good fun. edit: POTC is released and now gravel can maybe learn his sea-right from sea-left from sea-rear!

I love this pack, best one to date for me!! Everything is great : ? The 5 levels are really great looking and fun to play ?The stuff to get are awesome : materials, stickers, background (did you see how the palm trees move with the wind...? just great) etc... ? 4 Musics are great too : too bad one the interactive is a little limited (just 2 tweakable track) ? and the best, water is awesome! Looks beautiful!

All but the Kraken charmed me. This is a much more cartoon-esque level pack than the MGS one and the visuals particularly were just beautiful, they've really done a great job with the materials, decorations and stickers.The water looks and feels just right, so all in all, they've got this pack bang on.

Hey, you'd be angry too if your PSStore managers dicked around posting updates about Blu Ray movies on their blog instead of actually doing what they're supposed to. http://blog.us.playstation.com/

I played all 6 levels and they are all great, each offer very unique gameplay and the boss at the end is awesome! Still, though I don't know what it is but I think the MGS levels were better. The Pirates pack is missing that special something but I can't figure out what it is, sure water is really fun but something is clearly missing.

Well I've only played the first 2 so I can't really say :T But so far it's been good.

Hey, you'd be angry too if your PSStore managers dicked around posting updates about Blu Ray movies on their blog instead of actually doing what they're supposed to. http://blog.us.playstation.com/ They post about blu ray movies on the blog every week...acutally doing what they're supposed to do? That's part of their job, so yeah, that's what they're supposed to do. Clearly you really like this game since you get so riled up when you can't get the dlc available for it, but if you REALLY do like this game you should give them the time they need to get the stuff out, even if you think it shouldn't take as long as it does. Regardless it's out now, and you should stop complaining.

They're really good, there's lots of details in every part of every one of the levels. There was a lot of awesome ideas that use the water's physics too.

They were alright. Not what I expected really at all. I did go through the levels pretty quickly, so tomorrow I'm going back and replaying them all slowly to pick up all the prizes I missed.

So the POTC theme is missing right?, because i already finished all and i never saw it

I love it. It's right in line with what I expected: Less awesome than what the community created but EXTREMELY polished, accessible levels for everyone. I couldn't have 100% in any of them so far (except Kraken of course). There's some stuff that is REALLY hidden because it's not like I didn't take my time. I'm in the 90s percent in all the levels at least. .

Everything is awesome, but the music dissapoints. I mean, it's good.... for a rip-off. I would have preferred if they'd gotten the actual music :/

Did anyone else think that the Kraken was way too easy to ace? All you needed to do was destroy two of the lights on each ship (so they won't fire at you and won't respawn) and then spam the rockets when the tentacle things come up. Very easy.

2009-12-23 13:12:00 Author: alexbull_uk Posts: 1287

---

I particularly like the architecture stickers. Why? Because I planned to built a level in that style for a while but never got started because I couldn't be bothered to make all the details from materials. PS: I can't ace the Kraken. Always die in the last phase.

I find the Kraken impossible! My husband and I had to try like 3 times just to get past him. That stupid round circle would fall, kill my husband, he'd spawn and it would kill him again!!!! For me, these levels were some of the most amazing LOOKING levels that I've ever seen. The gameplay to me was a tad underwhelming. It might be because I was tired, but it seemed like it went by too fast and there wasn't enough to do. I have to go back and play them again tonight when I'm not so tired, but that was my initial impression of them.

2009-12-23 13:57:00 Author: xkappax Posts: 2569

The kraken is easy to ace once you know the method: 1: Bottom right cannon, the fireball won't hit you if you stay there 2: When the fireball goes go to the left bottom and shoot 3: When that next fireball is gone then only take out the cannon remaining on each ship and leave the final hitpoint Then for the kraken if you mount the bottom cannon and shoot quickly you can eliminate a whole arm before it even has a chance to sweep at you then its just a case of dodging the other. Simples Whereas with the MGS one you had all sorts to worry about, plasma balls, rockets, falling platforms etc.

I found the levels really good too!!! Much better than the MGS pack in my opinion, although i am finding some difficulties on acing the kraken and i'm missing one prize bubble on port royal Other than that i love the levels and the music!

These levels were awesome! They were way more detailed than any other levels done by Mm before! I think they've been looking closely at the design tactics of community creators....

2009-12-23 15:42:00 Author: piggabling Posts: 2979

They're alright. I preferred the original story levels, and probably the mgs pack too. They weren't media moleculey enough for me. They were missing something. Having a cutout of a sackboy isnt Mm-ish at all! Alright, but I think the original story levels were much more charming, and inventive.

2009-12-23 15:51:00 Author: chimpskylark Posts: 335

I preffered the MGS pack in all honesty. Though the materials, stickers etc are awesome, I didn't spend as much time saying ,'Aw that's clever' like I have done with Mm levels in the past. Maybe I just new what to expect from water. Need to get a slower play through as well as I kinda rushed through them late last night.

I LOVE these levels, the visuals are great as usual and I love how they used water. However, the boss was really lacking. I mean, the MGS boss was AMAZING. This one was just OK.

I am probably the only one,but I am dissapointed really. If you compare it to the MGS pack,the pirate one is way more unpolished andthe metal gear solid one is way more fun. Here is my list of things I didn't like (lolz I'm positive aint I xD ) :star: I dont like the speed you have in water. You're slow and the movement feels unpolished. :star: There are no story to the levels. Yeah sure you get captured and finds a ship,but I think Mm could have used the story in potc way better than this. Where are the charaters? we only had that young unknown pirate dude with us!? Wouldent it had been epic if you could ahve seen uh..what's his name.. anyway the one who wears makeup. Wouldent it been epic if he could have been there abnd you would have gotten to see his personality? the story is just LAME and very MESSY. I dont get it at all. BAH. :star: I dont like the scenery either. Some parts just feels UGLY right trough and the parts that dosent look ugly looks OK. :star: The 2X and 4X challanges are lame. Why didn't Mm come up with a epic water 2X/4X-challange? BAH. :star: The boss is lame too in my opinion. Boring concept and those ships really needs fixing. Also,where are all the epic stages we could see in the MGS boss? It has like,5 diffrent stages which you had to kill,the one more aweosme than the other! oookay,I think that's about it. apart from that it was good.. The MGS pack is for me a way better experience. If I had played 5 community levels from a trusty hearted list (*coughbrnxblzecough*) rather than these levels would i have had way more fun.

Everyone having trouble aceing the Kraken: You need to "disable" the two ships that fire at you to make the level really easy. See how the ships each have 3 red lights? Well, each light represents a bomb. Blow up all the bombs, and the ship respawns. The trick is to not blow up the red light that's furthest away from you (on both sides). This is (relatively) easy. Simply shoot once into the bottom of the ship & once into the top. Hopefully, this will destroy two bombs, but not trigger the other. When the tentacles come up, spam one cannon as soon as the ships go away. Just keep pressing R1 as fast as possible, and hopefully you'll take one side out really fast. The other side is now easy to complete. The ships will return. If you managed to take out the two lights (but leave the other one) then the ships will not fire at you, so take it easy. Then, repeat the tentacle advice.

2009-12-24 00:37:00 Author: alexbull_uk Posts: 1287

I think better advice is just to ignore the ships completely until they go away. Just dodge their cannons by staying in the middle-ish.

i wasn't really impressed by the levels game play wise i mean they felt kinda boring some bits were good though +the visuals were nice +levels were designed well -a little short

2009-12-24 01:04:00 Author: rseah Posts: 2701

I found the whole water thing a bit disorienting at first, and the levels a bit murky and bland. The Kraken was a bit on the easy side. It's not bad, but the MGS levels had a bit more sparkle to them. But from a creator's point of view, these are terrific! So much more applicable!

2009-12-27 00:47:00 Author: Rogar Posts: 2284

wait... you dont NEED to take out the ships? that makes it alot easyer. But the intro was so cool, going up the mast with bombs shooting acros, it was breat takeing. it looked so good. i loved it i aced all the levels but the kracken. i will try agan (AHHHH!)

2009-12-27 02:08:00 Author: Unknown User

I must admit i was a little bit disapointed with these levels. I mean, i found them quite cool, but there is IMHO a terrible lack of epicness in this pack. Even the history pack and its single level was more epic in my opinion. And POTC? Hmmm.... At least, MGS pack was a true MGS pack.... Here there is the storyline, but i didn't found the atmosphere of the movies at all... I found this very....artificial.... However, since i took part in the water beta, i wasn't impressed by the water (and i must admit, since the beta i don't really like the way you can use it...). Perhaps it is why i found less interest in this pack...

EXTREMELY POLISHED Are you serious? The x4 puzzle can be done with two people, there are visible pistons that should be invisible in plain sight, like at the kraken in the cage where only one tentacle has a visible piston on it, the layering is TERRIBLE, I constantly somehow fall 100 feet down just by jumping, the logic is pathetic and the smoke from the cannons is completely un-sinched, and I keep hearing about level breaking glitches. Just by the one piston that's visible in plain sight, it really tells me MM didn't test these at all. It's everything short of polish...

I really liked these levels. Mainly because... a) it was a good demo of what can be done with water b) I loved the 'town' feel. Lots of people make woods and factories and the insides of buildings but to make an exterior of a town is really hard. mm did it 4 times with some really nice stickers and combinations. It's not perfect, but its still a step above MOST levels on the servers. How do you do the x4 puzzle with 2 people?

MM don't like to make their machinery invisible, but the multiplayer challenges are bad.

2009-12-27 09:37:00 Author: chimpskylark Posts: 335

The Pirate levels were OK. On my first run, I aced the first two levels (Port Royal and Pirate Town), but I managed to fall out of the level on the third level (A Navy Frigate). Other than that, it was fine. I thought the boss was anti-climatic for me. Come on, the Kraken destroys ships. And all he did is try to get me with his tentacles... Nothing can beat Metal Gear REX.

I liked it apart from 1 small bit. They gave the wooden eye to the wrong blooming person.

In the film one of them has a wooden eye but they gave it to the wrong person

2009-12-29 10:20:00 Author: Kern Posts: 5078

---

They forgot to sticker the guy with the wooden eyes hair so its just green dissolve. levels were too short though, if they were maybe twice as long(except the kraken) or as long as a normal story level itd be amazing

I quite liked them, though the story confuses me :blush: And I feel REX was better, mostly due to the paintinator, it was obvious you could have good boss fights with that, but I knew they couldn't use the paintinator in the PotC pack.

Hopefully they make a Pirates of the Metal gear solid level pack! Use the paintinator and swim! ! Petition time! It could have Liquid rebuilding his machine, only to have it taken by Pirates! He asks for your help, and you set out in some Metal Gear Solid/ Pirates Of The Carrebian themed levels! The boss fight involves you going underwater to kill the Kraken with the Metal Gear REX, which has a cute little control box at the top so you can move him and stuff.
