Please refer to this topic for an introduction/level suggestion http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/sho...678#post684678 Review #13! "WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! Part 1 by tobortherobot http://lbp.me/v/s8gp0b I had this requested long ago, I guess I just forgot about it. Well time for the redemption. GamePlay Get ready because there's a lot to say. At first you appear in a cave, the first thing that happens is that your character tells you that you must obtain a gun... ...From the roof... ...yeah... ...WHY IS A GUN ON THE ROOF, IT'S NOT HANGING ON ANYTHING ITS JUST GLUED TO THE ROOF,IT'S POINTLESS, All you do is pull a switch and swing to it with a sponge, which makes this ridiculous thing even more pointless. That's not really a huge issue but... Jeez what a bad first impression for this level. You use the gun to shoot a lizard, What I don't like is that you can't see the lizard because it can shoot you from so far away. A camera would've been good. Later on in the level you go through a very poorly done elevator. The any time there's platforming is annoying because its usually unpolished, not to mention annoying. To give tom credit though, There are some okay parts, and it does tell you where to go via your character talking. One annoying thing is that in one area you get a gun and must shoot nightmare monsters on a... Propelled BlockTM*.That traverses you through water, unfortunately you can very easily fall into the water getting onto the Propelled BlockTM, Another thing bad about this section is that if you die the Propelled BlockTM wont respawn. Besides you can just skip the nightmare monsters by swimming thorugh the water. But the thing that destroys the chance of this level being passable is the boss. Oh my god the boss. Its a circle with a face that spins around emitting plasma in all directions. Its very annoying. A GOOD boss should give you a pattern and a way of getting used to it's pattern so you may beat the boss. But I'd have to play a million times to memorize when the plasma goes where because its very sporadic and annoying. To kill it you shoot it and an antennae above it. To do so you must jump on hard to traverse platforms. What's even worse is that it can kill you the second you re spawn because the checkpoints is directly under it and in view of its fire. I know that was long but I really had to write a lot to express how awful the game play can be. 11/50 (Wow. That's bad) Atmosphere Honestly. This level has a good story, I wanna be immersed into the plot and characters, But it's not enjoyable because of how its presented. There are numerous spelling errors in the dialogue. The characters look Terrible, There are a lot of blocky areas. It's a real shame because the story truly nice. You wake up in a cave, unknown of what happened earlier, You eventually find out that scientists have discovered a way of going into a nightmare world and enslave the creatures of the nightmare world for their own purposes. So it's up to YOU to not only get home, but to stop this enslavement. But it's not presented well because of how bad everything looks. It flows at a nice pace and you are shown cutscenes to explain whats going on. But its hard to take a silly,stupid looking character seriously, Not to mention the fact you can see dark matter and dissolve in a few places. 10/30 (Wow. That's bad) Music & Sounds The music tracks used in game have a fitting tone. But the compositions aren't too fitting. I'm not too huge on a choir singing during the cave part. Or the track used during the boss. It all seems to be the right style, But the compositions seems a bit off to me. As far as sounds go there are some fitting ones used. But I think there could've been some more. 12/20 (Ehh.) Final Thoughts This level I didn't enjoy. It just oozes poor craftsmanship. Tomtherobot has a great, great concept, but it needs polishing. And seeing as how he got more points on SOUND then he did on the other categories, He needs a lot of polish. 33/100 (Wow. That's BAD) *Propelled BlockTM is a Trade Mark of Gopher Co. Any unlicensed use of our products will result in a lawsuit.
