Hello sackpeople!

As there isn't an appropiate review section in this forum, I guess I'll have my review shop here then

So... I decided to start an small thread where you can ask for reviews here in LBF! I'm not like the official review guy in here, but as it seems nobody is already doing this in LBF I'm happy to be the first one!

What will be graded?

Ok, I usually make my reviews with the following format:

1-First, I usually make this preliminar note at thr top of my reviews:
*Preliminar note to the review. I usually give "The Grades" for the level depending on the creators previous experience, so if your level gets a similar grade than a level with a "different quality", you should understand that I'm usually much tougher with creators with much experience, MM picks, or plenty of hearts.
It explains it all itself. Now:

2-I usually make an small Presentation section in the review where I grade the level badge, description, and the first 30 seconds of gameplay. Really important!

3-The review. I'll tell you any bugs/glitches I find, the parts I liked either gameplay of graphically speaking, and the parts I didn't. Suggestions, and lots of things more! I try to never reveal story realted stuff, or spoil the experience to readers, anyway, I usually include some pictures of the level. If you want me not to do this, please post it in your request.

4-The grades! I'm grading:
-Gameplay: Is it original? Polished? Smooth? Etc.
-Graphics: Is it rubbish, garbage, pretty, beautiful, jaw-dropping? Etc.
-Sounds: Does your buttons make fancy sounds when pressed? Does the music firs perfectly, or is it a pain to hear?
-Overall: Final thoughts. Not a perfect average.

If you wish to make a request, please fill the following thingie:
-Level name
-PSN ID
-lbp.me link
-Link to thread in the level section. I will post my review there, and it can be from LBPCentral, the Planetarium, the Network, LittleBigLand, or LittleBigForum of course.

And that's it!!! Even if you don't include the level name nor the PSN ID, The LBP.ME link and the link to the thread are obligatory, and any request without that info will be ignored. I do not play the same level twice, even if you improve it significantly, so please post only once for each level!
Your review should be done from 2-7 days at the most, depending on demand and other stuff. This will remain open depending if it is "succesful" or not.

An example of one of my recemt reviews:

Hey Deka! I just finished playing the level. So here's a little feedback:

*A preliminar note in my reviews: You may see that "The Grades" I give at the end of my review can be the same than the grades of a "different quality" level. I usually adapt my grades in order to be fair according to the creator experience, and as it seems you even have an MM pick I may seem to be a bit tough in my grading.

PRESENTATION

Yep, I loved the badge, still, I think it was too simple. The first impression the level gave me was that it would be a really great experience. The Autumnish decorations were used in a theme I rarley see, like a rocky forest. For the thread, I would suggest adding some pictures so that people get interested in the theme.

LEVEL

Ok, I usually play and review in the same time, and so I can update photos of things I didn't like and things I did, anyway, this time I didn't get the chance. Anyway, I do remember basically everything, and here are my two only complaints.
1-Luckily you uploaded a pic of yourself in here...

http://i4.lbp.me/img/ft/9e4fbbd240eec1b581709ff02211344aab079c17.jpg

I got stuck in this part for a while. You should add an arrow or something that tells you that you need to grab the sponge to the left to change layers and continue the level, because this part seemed like a Dead-end.
2-Sorry, no pic this time, anyway, when you have to go down through a series of wheels that are really close to each other... Ok, it was incredibly annoying. Adding more space, and making the wheels bigger would do the thing.

THE GRADES

What everybody loves/hates! The grades!
Gameplay: 3/5 I know its your first attempt at a platformer, but I didn't really see any innovative ideas, it felt short and some parts need polishing.
Graphics 4/5 Simple at times, but the strong point for this one.
Sound 3/5 I liked the music, but the sound effects could have been better and much more, better placed, etc.
Overall 3/5 Great work! Again, do not misunderstand this grades, as they take into consideration your previous experience. I know you're more like a mini-game designer, so this is a pretty awesome first try at a platformer!

Ok, to be honest, now that I think so that was my shortest review EVAH! Still, it is the only example I've got right now, as my other reviews are lost in the flow of time and space and Taffey's cookies. That's it, begin requesting!

LOLWUT I can't find any level threads for your level. So I guess I'll post my review here

Presentation
Ok. I do not play movie levels. I find them boring, useless and stuff. LOLOLOL I was wrong. After I saw this movie it has changed completely the way I see them in LBP. I'm not following my normal review way as this is not a playable level so...

Movie
I fell in love with this level. Such attention to detail, such awesome... Lyrics?!?! Awesomesauce! The melody was really fun to hear, and even though it is a music level, it has an entertaining storyline! What else can be asked for?
I found myself singing the lyrics while watching this thing. Really fun! For me the best part of the movie was BY FAR inside the car. It felt so natural! Am I playing LBP or watching a Youtube video?
There were ideas I had never seen before in an LBP movie, even in those MM picked ones. Some things were so professional that I believed it was a computer-edited video rather than an LBP movie!
I would have liked that the final part of the video had more of the song (and lyricsssss), because it felt just like random persecution scenes that didn't have the same quality as the rest of the video. Some of them felt actually rushed.
The final pic was awesome! Overall I loved the story, it wasn't just some sackbots dancing (LOL my expectations), but an actual interesting, funny, entertaining story! Weeeell done!
Sorry for no pics, I really believe people should check this out themselves!
Nice nice nice. What else to say? Whoooo I almost forget! The grades!

THE GRADES
Wait... I usually grade Gameplay, Graphics and Sound. I'll have to change them to, uhm...

Content 4.5/5 Awesome! Incredible! Astonishing! XD Seriosuly, one of the best movies I've ever seen. Much higer quality than what I expected. Loved that it included lyrics. Awesome plot and story.
Graphics 3.5/5 I loved everything from the beginning of the video. Anyway, once inside the mansion, I felt that it could have been better decorated. Also, the sackbots that appeared almost at the end, the ones that were emitted and just spun... Ok, that was random. I understand what you tried to do, when there are lots of them it actually looks cool, but for the most of the time they just seem unnecessary. Oh, and there was a destroyer visible in a cutscene where you just enter the mansion, at the left side of it. Sorry, happened too fast like to be able to take a pic.
Sound 4.5/5 LOLOLOL it would be stupid if I graded that anything below 4.5/5. My only complain is that in the final sequences of the video, it felt more like a story than music thing, I would have liked the music and lyrics to continue even with all the persecutions going.
Overall 4/5 One of the best movies I've ever seen! It deserves a (I know I already did this, but it soooo deserves it)http://i1240.photobucket.com/albums/gg495/yugnar/6fbf328c.jpg grade! Whoooooo!
