Reviews By Request

Hello All,

I will be open to doing reviews of the LBP Centrals community levels as well as suggested levels. However, there are a few stipulations I would like to stick to. I just ask that we abide by three things:

Can not have another review completed by a member of LBPC
Only one level requested at a time
No bashing the reviewer!!

Reviews will be assumed the level is completed (Recommend F4F prior to submitting). I believe that I am an honest reviewer and can often grab the good (and the bad) out of most anything I play. Not only that, I am not partial to any one genre in gaming so hopefully I can use that as an advantageous quality as I review the many styles.

A little about myself; I am a gamer at heart. First fell in love with the world renowned Asteroids for the Atari..

.. and the addiction grew from there. I have three beautiful daughters and the lovely wife which help me see the softer side of things and thus, I can typically pull out the creators purpose and how well its executed towards this type of audience.

Like anything, my reviews quality should grow in time as I am just learning how to properly translate a game and put it into words and on paper (er, text). I have posted a few links below to recent reviews to see what you would be getting yourself into, however, keep in mind those reviews were done solely because I thought they were particularly good and skipped over others I thought otherwise. So while these levels had a majority of 4-5 stars, yours may not.

Ratchet & Clank Up Your Arsenal: Deja Q (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=38985-Ratchet-amp-Clank-Up-Your-Arsenal-quot-Deja-Q-quot)
Little Big Jungle (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=39440-Little-Big-Jungle-by-Fotosynthesis1)
Old Existence (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=39436-Old-Existence-by-O-Tera)

(If you would like a review done, simply reply to this thread and specify the name and your PSN.)

There you have it! I will take requests and cut it off when I have a fair amount to do and then start the process over. Like any of our other reviewers can attest to, this takes a long long time to get one review completed. So just be patient

Hey dude, can you review my level "Ashton Chronicles 1: Hidden Water Temple"? I've requested in two other review places, but I guess they have other things or are piled up with other ones. I would greatly appreciate it you did do my level dude. Thanks in advance 2010-11-12 02:51:00

Absolutely. Where did you send them for review so I can be sure to check its status. I don't want to step on the toes of another reviewer and get the finger shake.2010-11-12 03:07:00

Hi John82wa, can you review my level: BEST CREATED CONNECT FOUR (2P ONLY), please? I would like to ask you to review my PYRAMIDS but you have payed them already and you probably don't want to review those levels because I overpraised them. I know that wasn't good idea but to be honest I put a lot of work to create them, believe or not. My PSN: GILUPL, thanks.2010-11-12 10:21:00

Ok dude well I had put in a request for doubletime, DarkDede and NightAngel, but to be safe I sent them all a message saying that I had a willing sack to do my review and they didn't need to worry about mine. Glad I'm finally getting one Thanks a whole bunch dude, I've been wanting this level reviewed for a while now.


Im on it BooXely, I have one in front of you and yours will be next, expect to have it tomorrow if all goes smoothly!

Played this level the other day, great level and it's pretty awesome

You're not going to get a finger shake from me. I don't see how additional feedback could be considered a bad thing.

It's ultimately up to the designer to decide what to do with a level, after we write our reviews. It really doesn't matter whether there's conflicting opinions, or not.

I think DarkDededes point is extremely valid. I am still looking for extra suggestions on my own work, so from this point forward, it does not matter if you have had a previous review done, perhaps it pointed out areas of needed work and you have since made adjustments. Who knows, I was too worried about other reviewers in a sense and really forgot that the reviews are also a great way to help out a creator and after all, that's what this is all about!

Well said DarkDedes! The following are in line for Reviews:

Take care,

Absolutely! Have a few more in front of you, but will more than likely be entirely caught up by mid week and you can expect yours to be done with that group.

Just wondering, when you say only one at a time, do you mean you can review more than one level per person? :blush:2010-11-23 00:05:00

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he means one per person, or he would'nt have a queue. (Sorry for anwsering the questions in your thread John, I just wasn't sure when you'd be online next. I'll stop if you want me to. )2010-11-23 06:12:00

Well yes and no. It was more intended towards those wanting multiple reviews of there levels at one time, not making it fair for anyone else in line because they need to wait for that person's 3 levels to be reviewed.

But since the there's not many in line, I can certainly do it. So I guess to correct myself. There can only be one level requested at a time and you must wait for that review to be completed before another is requested. That seem fair enough?


(Sorry for anwsering the questions in your thread John, I just wasn't sure when you'd be online next. I'll stop if you want me to. )

No not at all, your fine.

So what else do you have iBubek?

Well, thanks a lot, maybe check out my randomizer, and bring some friends, cause in that level it's the more the merrier! But that level is only a logic showcase, so maybe check out my metal forest beta instead, whichever you prefer. Remember, it's a beta, the ending is not the real ending, and the visuals in some places will be enhanced. Thanks again, I just came back as you seem to do nice reviews. 2010-11-24 03:16:00

Okay, I will review the levels tested but keep in mind that when I review the level I always review it as a finished product. So another words, I will rate whats there and not what might get changed or added and let alone give a higher rating simply because its in the 'works'. If you guys are okay with that, then by all means, lets get em done and I will get crackin!! If you would rather just hear some feedback, I can just play the level and give the feedback in the level showcase thread. Which do you prefer??2010-12-03 05:59:00

It's alright! I've already got some good feedback on it I just want a full review. I already know the detail points will be low! SO BRING IT ON! Also if you have a suggestion please tell me!

Edit - Also PM me with a link when the review is done!

Please and Thank You!

Tomeh, I don't know how far behind you are. I've published my first level and am really trying to improve as a creator so that I can make some great stuff in LBP2. To that end I'd really love to have a review of it. It is complete, I don't plan to do anymore work on it, I'm now onto a much larger project to be completed with LBP2.

The level is The Elephant Incident. I've posted an F4F so you can respond here or there, whichever works for you.

If you are too busy, I completely understand.

Thank you so much for providing this service for us.

@Max_Coffeebreath
It's not me who reviews... It's Josh82wa. I asked for a review a while back, and he hasn't finishing any reviews, but I wouldn't blame him, many people have been busy lately.

Sorry for the long absence. I have been busy with work and my 4 year old daughter has been in the hospital with a collapsed lung and have since been seeing specialist after specialist. The story obviously goes deeper but you get the general idea. Will hopefully get back into the swing of things here soon.2011-01-19 18:00:00

Hi John82wa, I hope everything is ok with your child . I know you have played already my pyramids and I don't know would you review them? Just let you know anyway that I did lots of changes, some chapters look better now, some chapters are changed (chapter 4 in 2nd pyramid is different and chapter 18 in 1st pyramid is changed from memory puzzle to logic puzzle), also I added red x sticker near to every hint, I took out some stickers which didn't work well with temple style level (yellow !) and I did much more small and big changes . I always listen people with good advices and I hope those changes made my levels better. You see I want to nmake my pyramids worth 5 stars if that possible? Thanks for your time .
Updated: I added also music choice to my Connect Four level and I found last bug (I hope) which I will sort out this week.
