POTW Ep.14 (25 Jun ’11)

Hello there!

Welcome to Picks Of The Week episode 14! This week we have 10 superb levels for you to kick-ass on. Oh by the way, if you think I missed out a SUPER AWESOME LEVEL it’s probably Mm Picked, I don’t really like to choose Mm Picks. Now on with the levels!

1. Pirates Of The Caribbean – FILM – Lauraab29
2. FORKLIFT2 – OG_3-5
3. Bora Bora Island 2 – Ima_Taka
4. THRILLER – MICHAEL JACKSON – Christiandadrum
5. Lost In Nothing – P-I-M-P-1
6. Peril Comes In Many Sizes: A Missing Story Level – Spflanagan
7. Luminance – MizzleDub23
8. The New Neon Platform – Missyhifi
9. Heavens Diver – SingEagle
10. Full Metal Popit – AvePic25

Category 1 – The Best Level

We all know that whenever we see a film level made by Lauraab29 it’s going to be great and her take on Pirates Of The Caribbean – FILM is no different. Just like her previous Harry Potter levels, everything is spot-on from Sparrow’s outfit to the story line. There will probably be more of these levels to come so keep two eyes out!

Category 2 – The Most Unique Level

Not only in LBP, but in any game at all, I have never controlled a bird that can fly and dive around the city for up to 30 minutes. SingEagle gives us just that with his very unique Heavens Diver. The level description is spot on: “Dive into a beautiful/relaxing world for up to 30 minutes.” And that’s it, that’s all you do, but it’s so relaxing and the music is so peaceful. It is a level like none other.

Category 3 – The Most Artistic Level

It was a close call between this and The New Neon Platform, but MizzleDub23 takes home the prize with his artistic Luminance. Simply put, it looks great, it looks colourful, it looks exciting and most importantly of all, it is very artistic. Unfortunately, MizzleDub23 does not want to post images of his levels on the Internet so I just had to get a logo.

Category 4 – The Level I Want More Of

I didn’t quite understand this level all the time but that’s why I loved it. It had so much charm and a nice touch of humour. The voice acting was funny and professional. I didn’t really understand the story (if there was one) but I think more will be revealed soon, the level ends on a silly ‘cliffhanger.’ Not enough LBP levels make me chuckle. This one did. Full Metal Popit by AvePic25.

Category 5 – Special Recognition

We all know how great Media Molecule are at making levels, I mean, they ought to be, they made the game. But in this level the author says that it acts as a story level. At first I wasn’t so sure about it but when the level loaded up it was of true Mm quality and then some. Spflanagan might as well work at Mm for coming up with his marvelous Peril Comes In Many Sizes: A Missing Story Level. It is simple but extremely effective and a level which many can learn from.

That’s all for this week folks! I hope you enjoy the levels on offer here. If you think there is an under-rated level you think I should play, let me know on Picks Of The Weeks official Facebook page. Thanks, and I’ll see you next time for some more picks!
