The Material world part one
By Evil_Death_Bee
material world is an action plat former set in a world completely made up out of sponges who have been invaded by people from a world of glass. I was told by the creator that this was a very hard and challenging level and that has to been an issue with many a people. All I can say is pffft, its a breeze, piece of cake, I beat it like it stole my cookie...... actually I'm lying my little sack face off, this level is pure EVIL. Its evil in a way that I almost put my head into the TV monitor while screaming obscenities that would have even made hardened convicts yell "hey that's just not right!"
You start off in the pretty wilderness of sponge world and soon you meet with the king who tells you the evil glass people stole all their children and of course after that its off to the rescue. After that its one insane obstacle after another and it starts off rough, even the first one can take some time to clear. Each obstacle is different and interesting enough to keep things interesting and since each one is very difficult each one seems like an "event" Its such a relief when you finally clear it and you know the next one will probably be even harder so you wonder how long this one will take you or if you will be able to best it. Really its kinda like the Olympics broke up in all those really physical challenges. I did finish this and its very possible, it just takes patience and time and this is why only certain groups of players will love this level. Those who love challenges and really hard levels will probably have this five stared and hearted in a heartbeat plus all the old pros who can ace most levels will feel the same. The players who are out just for quick and easy plays and do not want to spend too much time on one level will feel very differently though and there are a LOT of players like that on LBP. I have never given a level low stars just because it was too hard for me or I died to many times but we all know there are lots out there who do.
The level has an unique look and is very pretty and different from all the usual visual kinds of levels due to the fact that its all sponges cept for the invading glass that starts to seep into the level. I liked this, at first it was all sponge and slowly as you go through more and more glass starts to creep in, it really does feel like the level is slowly getting overtaken by glass.It also gives it a trippy dazed out look and feel, sometimes its like playing inside a lava lamp.
Level Design 8
The level is designed to be hard and it is, it looks great and I found nothing but sponge and glass in the level and yes I was looking hehe. All the obstacles while hard were possible and I found zero glitches and no places to get stuck or unfairly sent back or anything like this.
all the kids are gone? why are you guys upset again? I am gonna go sit by the fountain and enjoy the peace and quiet.
Scenery; 7
The beginning with the village is awesome and there are some great visuals spread around and the all sponge look with bits of glass intruding does have a nice look to it but after a while you kinda start to get all sponged out and it all starts to blend together and look the same.
Originality:7
I liked the story a lot, it was new and the idea of level made out of nothing but sponge and glass is intriguing. Though there are a few new ideas in the obstacles but most of them are just variations of things we have seen before like the electrified maze. I do have to say there is a puzzle in there that was both kind of old and fresh. It was your typical grab a rope and guide a key through a maze to its destination thing but the string is elastic and the key is VERY fragile and so you must be very careful not to destroy it. I broke it several times until I finally learned its better to leg go at certain parts and let it float up or down before continuing.
its kinda like one of those claw machines to get stuffed animals exception this is actually possible.
Fun factor: 8
This was so hard to decide, those who love a challenge are gonna have a blast, those who do not are gonna be very frustrated and annoyed but if you just give it some time and go slow and actually invest some of yourself into a level when you finally make it to the finish line you cannot say that you did not have fun getting there, just hopefully your controller and TV is still intact after you get there. There is also lots of points and other stuff cleverly hidden all over the place and can take a bit of searching and extra plat forming to get to.
I wonder if these electric mazes are what all baby sacks must go through in the womb right before they are born.
Grade: 7
This is a level meant for all the pros and those who love high difficulty and the people its meant for are gonna love it. Its easy on the eyes though the look does kinda get old halfway through and all the things to do aren't totally new but its fun and memorable and its well made with plenty of thought put into the design and obstacles.
Either I'm in a big soda pop bottle or eating all that glue was a bad idea.....
