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).
A must play :)

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!
