If you love tanks and contraptions you'll love my levels so check them out my best 1's are: Abrams MKII tank, Burst Fire Missile Tank, The Annihilator, F-16 Nighthawk, Cannons and Lifting Contraptions. Please try all of them out especially the first 2 as I have spent a long time putting them together and if u enjoy them PLEASE spread the word and I will do the same for you. Thanks Kev

I'm going to go ahead and check these out because I really hate to see anything put on the showcase not get any replies. Just a little suggestion when adding levels to the showcase (lol, just trying to be helpful): 1. Don't just put "New levels". Put a specific level (maybe your strongest). You can put in the description that there are others, but it definately helps raise interest in people reviewing them for you. 2. Take part in feedback 4 feedback (F4F). Many of us here are authors and it is hard to pry us away from authoriing our own games. Taking part in this program helps other authors to put the time in because they know you will return the favor. Not that we don't want to be helpful, it's just the way people are when they have their own creations. Anyway, I'm gonna take a look right now. ************************************* OK, Here's my synopsis: First of all, you didn't include your PSN user name, so it was extremely difficult to find your levels (Tanners is not your PSN user name, bobby1456 is). But I eventually found them. Abrams MKII tank: Pros: + Decent tank design. You can obviously design a nice vehicle. + I liked the way the gun on top of the tank worked, that you could aim it by pulling back and forth. A few other level designers should at least take a quick peak at this - it's a nice mechanic. Cons: - This was the first level in your list that you wanted someone to take a look at, but you mention in the level that it is not "finished". That's kind of an understatement. Even though the tank was cool, you don't really DO anything other than knock down a few vertical blocks and move foward. - The emitted dark matter for getting in the tank was kind of cheesy. Suggest some kind of ramp or stairs. Burst Fire Missile Tank Pros: + Once again, nice vehicle. Cons: - Once again, you don't really DO anything. In fact, I did less than in the previous mention level. I used the up and down arrows to move the back of the truck up and down and moved forward through some vertical blocks that pushed out of my way..... then I got to the finish line. - When I went over bumps the treads on the truck broke into pieces. Summary: My personal suggestion is that instead of building a bunch of small levels with vehicles that you don't use for much, that you spend some time building a single level with a vehicle in which there is a game behind it. You are obviously able to build some complex contraptions, and I applaud you for that (and in fact, there is nothing wrong with that if you want to use LBP as a model building set), but that if you want to get plays and want people to enjoy your levels that you spend more time working on HOW you are going to use vehicles for people to have fun and reach an objective. I would check out "Kratos4"'s "Mighty Mite" tank level for inspiration (I don't remember is PSN name, but the level is easy to find). He built a phenominal tank design and used it in a level in which you use all the different weapons on the tank for a purpose. Hope this helps!

wow! thanks a lot i just really wanted to get the levels out there to see what people thought of my stuff, wasn't really trying with the level mainly the creations. Lol kinda forgot to put my psn in i rushed it a bit. Thanks a lot anyway for taking the time and looking at my levels i'm starting to add a level kinda story to the Abrams one which is turning out very well and i will add the burst fire missile tank into it later but need to wait for MM to sort out the object capture bug first. P.S. i publish my creations unfinished sometimes because in the past i have lost my profile data and thats very annoying. So i use that as a way to save my creations even if my data gets deleted.
