And so, Iam Canadian has uploaded his first level to J2O. But is it good, or is it crap? Lets see.
I have played this level online, and it is pretty fun. The disapearing blocks and the chatroom are a bad idea IMO, and the “Canada Rulez” thing only deducts from the rating…(j/k)..
So, in conclusion, umm, I will tell you part of a chat I had earlier with Trafton.
“KJAZZ: iam canadian submitted a lvl
KJAZZ: Ultimate Warzone
Trafton: The verdict?
KJAZZ: now, in my past experiences
KJAZZ: anything with “ultimate” in its name (cept for JMMB) is usually inferior
Trafton: lol”

Actually, I like this level in many ways. It makes for a very nice Instagib, in fact. The level is a tad small and shows disregard for anything other than powerups, however. It’s a good level, but you should remove some of the powerups and replace them with 3x ammo or ammo crates.

Well, well, “Ultimate Warzone” (hmmm, if i remember right there was a pretty cool level with the same name years ago…by Distruct of J2LC i think, well, seems like it’s a boring name many people think of, eh?) is a quite average battle level using Overlord’s “Plastic 2” tileset. It is eventually a tad too large regarding the width (210*30 tiles).
The layout is okay, but somehow not really exciting. There are a lot of annoying dead ends and warps that warp you back to the level start at the very left. The weapon placement could have been improved as well: a whole lot of powerups, which are all very easy to get (and that “secret room” isn’t really secret, if you ask me).
Furthermore, i think there is a major lack of eyecandy in “Ultimate Warzone”. A few background layers are used, but not much in the foreground. And on a side note, i don’t like the look of the tileset too much. Quite boring.
The very guitar orientated “Boss” music doesn’t really fit here as well, i think.
To sum it up, “Ultimate Warzone” isn’t my favourite download of the week. There’s just something cool missing. No download recommendation from me, sorry (slightly below the average=4.5).
