    (Thanks to Enoch and other mods for keeping spammers out of this thread. Yeah, this level was spammed in the first 24 hours by an H4Her who also gave fewer stars than others!)

    My new level "Rally Racing" is intended to add intrigue to the typical LBP race in several ways.

    The vehicles are 4 speed automatic. This is meant to cause the vehicles to pull away from one another or jocky for position. I think that turned our pretty well due to the pause between gears.

    There are hazards of varying difficulty and danger. This causes racers to stop mid race (Yes; there are brakes in two races but not the middle race. It's a dream sequence. The brakes never work in my dreams anyway.). Successful hazard avoidance is rewarded either with bonus points (pausing race clock and effecting points spread) or survival or both. This way each race has two starts. No holding R1 and hoping you were initially fastest.

    The vehicle prizes are easy to avoid if you don't want them but tricky to get if you do.

    I am really interested in the opinions of my fellow forum members and hope you get some enjoyment in return.

    Needless to say this level was STUNNING! The cars were great and the gear idea is sweet. The tracks were amazingly made. My favorite part was how you fixed up the jeep and it was suddenly good as new. All in all, I couldn't dream of a better race level!

    That sounds really cool. I'd always wondered how anyone was supposed to win the race levels when all the cars go the same speed. I'll have to give that a try! (Plus, I really wanna see that fix-it-up jeep you told me about in my other thread! )

    Played your level and found it to be really fun. There's alot of creative ideas in there for a race game. I like when creators expirement even in the most trivial of level styles such as the racing genre. There's a freakin Spider race in the middle( Yes, you pilot a spider vehicle). Now that's what I call unexpected. Great job and keep the originality comin.

    I think Ap may have stumbled across something. By using a plot structure and narrative he has succeeded in making a race level more interesting. Rather than just a vacant showcase for creative vehicle building skills we have a story with twists. Hopefully others will take note and evolve upon this concept.....or alternatively just keep making your pretty brrm brrrms to race through your lacklustre devoid of interest levels.

    What a brilliant level... Tears of joy are running down my face...
    Well, not really, but a huge smile certainly is replacing them. This one deserves an heart.

    Well EDB, if you are interested in seeing how the jeep-needs-a-tune-up works in create mode all you have to do is collect it at the end of this level. Here are some hints for you and others who get around to reading this. When you give the jeep a tune up, be sure to put the wrench back on the same shelf it came from. This will trigger the in game hint showing you how to walk on thin air to get the three vehicles. However, if both jeeps have been crashed at the end, it may not be possible. If walking out onto thin air is impossible or too hard, then stand at the top of the credits ramp behind the clouds and jump to the right. You will probably land on the invisible path to collect those vehicles.

    If you meant you can't wait to see how it works in the game play, then this can only help others.
