Nev's Reviews Inc.- Hibachi Dojo

Archive: 5 posts


Level: Hibachi Dojo
PSN: Gondito


Hibachi Dojo is a solid level that reminds me of some of MM's Islands themed levels from story mode. However, I wasn't a huge fan of that part in story mode, which may account for the average grade this level recieves.

3/5 ---> Appearance- Some custom content, but overall it is pretty bland. Nothing really stands out in the level, but that, of course, would be pretty hard to do accomplish given the "story line" and setting of the level.

6/10 ---> Gameplay- I take story into account in gameplay only if there is one. The problem with this level is there is one, but it's poorly demonstrated throughout. You are a sackboy in a chef's dojo and apparently he doesn't want you there. You run into the chef throughout the level but instead of acting at that moment he sits there and moans. I really thought the level could do without the chef popping up every minute, because it really takes away from the boss fight at the end. The platforming is mediocre, but what I really enjoyed about the level was the boss at the end. I didn't exactly understand all the random stuff that was flying around (pancakes?) but it posed some challenge. Overall, nothing substantially difficult, and nothing incredibly original in this level.

1/5 ---> Replay Value- Well I played this level over 3 times, and by the third time I was really bored with it. Definitely worth a play, but you'll find one play is all the level requires.

Overall Score= 10/20

Worth a play, but nothing incredibly intriguing about the level. I encourage the author to pump out some more levels because there is definite potential here.

Wrong, wrong, wrong!
That level was one of my favourite levels of the LBP online community! The story could have been better but the activities were marvellous! No annoying, repititious sponge swinging but clean and polished varied ideas!

I might just have to go vote for you for the "most enthusiastic award" now. I'm glad someone has a different opinion on the level than me, but I still stand by my score. It wasn't a horrible level by any means, but if you play any of the other levels I've reviewed you may understand why it doesn't belong in the 15/20 range.2008-12-29 18:09:00

Thanks Reap!! I worked hard trying to get some varied platforming in there, Im

Thanks for the review Nevery, despite the 50% you gave me, lol. Im glad to see some different opinions. Although I dont understand how this Level is "bland". Go look at my level Limbo, THATS BLAND, lol, but that level got featured in the first Community Spotlight, so I know its a good level of mine.
I just tryed to make Hibachi Dojo fit into the islands theme. with the materials and music. anyways, thank you very much for the honest review
