Little Big Thief Lord Bafford by Fjonan

Fjonan's new and improved version of his level. I was very excited to play this as the author and myself have been discussing how the level could be improved...... and improved it has.
This level is quite classic in it's design (think old NES games) but it has tons of variety in gameplay... You'll find yourself jumping on a technical level... controlling vehicles.. defeating giant guards and grabbing onto contraptions. While all this would already be enough to satisfy your average LBP player there's more. If you look VERY carefully you will be able to find secrets in hidden pockets throughout the level...
Now all this would've been more than enough to warrant a high recommendation but on top of all this deliciousness this level also looks absolutely stunning. Fantastic atmospheric effects which is helped by amazing lighting and great use of the color palette. Every area is beautifully designed... It all looks and feels like a real proper level. Extremely polished.
I have zero complaints about this. An all round amazing LBP experience.

VR Turret Defense by Rival_31

Extremely fun arcade style level. This level is simple but has very good core gameplay.
You're basically up against many turrets which constantly spawn in the same room trying to kill you. You need to take em out as fast as possible while dodging bullets.
The variety of enemies makes this level a lot of fun. I can see myself playing this level over and over trying to get a high score.
This level should remind people that you don't always need big complex levels to make something amazing.
Play this right now!

TRIAL of SEASONS part 1 by Sickivionkey

A near perfect creation. From start to finish this one just doesn't let you go. It darn near feels like its own game due to its sheer originality and creative art design.
The creator stated that he will make more depending on feedback. So go play this now!! I would kill to see all other parts of this saga.
It's near flawless.... length is perfect and the gameplay is unlike anything you've played before. You're constantly doing something else in this level. Every section feels extremely well crafted and thought out.
Go play this and give the author some love.

The Crystal Caves in Autumn by XkappaX

One of the earliest levels I loved and reviewed was Centralia which was also made by XkappaX and Catiers... Here's their long awaited second effort. And it was easily worth the wait.
As you go through this monstrosity of a level you feast your eyes on many different landscapes. There's underwater segments... Indoor architecture.... Underground caves and more. This level offers so much it nearly feels its own little game.
This is one of the best level I've yet seen in LittleBigPlanet. Not sure if I mentioned this in the video.. but I think these guys need to be hired ASAP as level designers for LBP2 or any other new platform game. True talent here that far surpasses even the developers themselves.

Nintendo Excitebike by Vicoprofen

Loads of fun to play wether or not you know the original. It's short but can be replayed lots of times. I haven't checked but I hope the author makes more .. and hopefully longer levels. This one's a blast!

Adventure in Ruins by CIAO_PSN

An amazing level I've wanted to do a video of for quite some time. While it may look a little dull, you'll absolutely have to try this one out. The level design is on par with some of the best platform games around... loads of secrets to discover and plenty of interesting gameplay elements.
Every area and aspect of the stage feels very accurately designed and purposefully planned.

Zorro's Suicide Factory 2 by ZorroTheMighty

The long awaited sequel to the original. Like I stressed in the video, you really should play the first one before this.. simply because they both kick ass. This one really feels like a perfect continuation.. the puzzles aren't much harder but they're very different.
For a very refreshing, original and unique LBP level you must play this.
Have fun an hero'ing

Ultimate Pinball Challenge by UrbanDevill

This is simply one of the best arcade style levels out there. Feels exactly like a good pinball video game. While the table itself is pretty basic it's damn impressive for something built in LBP.
You absolutely must play this. Send the author a message of support also and ask for more pinball levels!! This one rocks.

Japanese Cake Level by Nackl

Adorable little level by some Japanese dude.. It looks simple but plays and feels like nothing you've seen before. This actually reminded me of the candy stage in World of Illusion (megadrive).

Springtime by Mouseman07

A level that's no doubt been played by everyone but still deserves some attention due to it's sheer fuckwin and awesomeness. Fun to be played again because of the amount of exploration and not frustrating at all thanks to great slick level design.
Overall it looks a little .. repetitive but this doesn't hurt the level at all.
Play this if you haven't yet!

Ring Buggy Race by ZX497

A fun short little game by one of my favourite authors. You ride a buggy on a timed race... the controls are really original and the buggy design really works. The track itself is a little basic but it works. Reminiscent of those 2d flash motorbike or buggy games with obstacle courses.
Give it a go and try to beat everyone's record. Plenty of fun to be had here.

Dragon Master by Jonopus

Fuck yeeaarrrrr this level is awesome.
It's pretty much perfect and the only thing it really lacks is length, just like my ... like my PANTS. Hahaa oh god you're dying of laughter right?
You hunt for treasure in a cave and ride out on a huge fucking dragon. Can't get much better than this guys. It looks gorgeous and is an absolute blast to play.
One of the better recent levels in LBP right now. Also, try to beat my high score. It's lonely up there ; D
