No, it’s not. But I decided to review it anyway. In exchange for two waffles. With syrup.
Anyway, the background eyecandy’s fine, but layer 4 isn’t. Too many repeating blocks, bad design. The layout’s ok, but the design isn’t, if that makes sense.
And there’s an end area in the level! It’s a battle level! And I could scream about the Ice stuff….
If you like levels with repeating blocks, tiny one tile passageways and lots of shields, this is for you. Not for me.

Well, let me put it straight, this is not my favourite level this week. Tube Electric is pretty easy to use and still, the author made some unfortunate mistakes here.
The whole design is kinda confusing, the level seems to be very large (255*64 tiles, way too much width) and the event placement is not very appropiate. For example, those Spikeballs only hurt the server and can cause access violations. The many (coin) warps don’t make navigation easier, too. In addition to that, the whole map doesn’t really look and feel like a battle level. Full energy carrots and annyoing dead ends (in the lower right corner, for example) may give you prove of my critics (pretty bad ammo placement in the whole level). As for what we call eyecandy, i didn’t find a lot of it…actually…erm…i didn’t find any. Not even the tubes are placed in foreground layers! Oh, and by the way, i think the level wasn’t started from scatch (as it should be), but it’s based on Battle2. Some places really really look like it :-)
Conclusion: sorry, but i can’t give a download recommendation here. It’s more like a waste of disk- and webspace to be honest.
I suggest you (the author) to read some level making manual or some of the reviews for bad levels here to avoid some of those “classic” mistakes in the future. Good luck and don’t hang your head (makes a very lucky 3).
P.S.:
Of course, “The Brothers Homebase” doesn’t have a correct next level setting…[This review has been edited by Aiko]

Ninja, shields may be part of the game, but that does’nt take away Electric’s right to think that shields are unfair. And personaly, i must say i agree with him, me, and probably 87% of the other elite JJ2 players:P. Anyways, i’m not going to either download nor rate this, because considering what i’ve heard untill now, i don’t really believe this level will be all that very cool:P
