I just felt bored, so I decided to review something, and I chose this, because it is heavily overrated imo.
The layout here is a real mess. It’s a bunch of random platforms and passageways that don’t really connect together well, and seemed to be placed without any proper thought. The level is mostly fairly cramped, and is very Spaz-biased. The flow is rather lacking, and there are dead ends too. In general, the gameplay is too chaoti and confusing and thus needs a lot of improvement.
The placement here is questionable, as there are no seekers, which would be the most useful here, and the 100-coin contains both of the PU’s, and has the only carrot – which is a Full Energy. It would take a long time to gather 100 coins; and you’re likely to get killed before you can get even close. The ammo flocks are also very large, which isn’t always a good thing. Also, this uses Gun Crates, which can cause lag in a server.
The eyecandy here, is very repetitive
and mostly looks very un-realistic and chaotic. It was considered really good back in 2000, but nowadays it’s fairly average. At least there aren’t very many tilebugs.
Overall, this was thought of as a great level 7 years ago, but now in 2007 it’s just another generic, average battle level with many questionable problems. As we all now know, Evilmike is an awesome level maker – one of the best imo, so this doesn’t really mean anything.

Even though I’ve seen most of this level before I still love it. They eyecandy is superb and reminds me of the original Jazz 1 levels. Every little detail is filled to make it more like the regular JJ1 Diamondus.

Very good level. I love that fact that it’s modeled to look just like JJ1 Diamondus.

Even if he didnt make the tileset himself, this level is still superb. I will give it 8 points
which is is the highest score i’ll give for multiplayer levels.
The tileset takes you back to ’94 and by the way, it is a very good battle level.
I’ll recommend to download this!

Yes, one of my favrote jj1 lvls.
Very origional!
Hey! What a coincidence! I just played this lvl online today and decided to search for it on J2o. I tell you Shine-O-Rific is Te-Rific!! :) The use of the tileset is great and I’ve never seen Diamondus in such a beautiful way! The diamonds, the trees, the background with the sun, it’s just…just….I think words has failed me for once :)
I also like weapons placement, it’s not messy and all over the place nor is there so few weapons that ppl who search for them need to be a nomad.
;) But there is one thing I must tell: Don’t listen to Evilmike about turning your screen resolution to 320×200, cause if you do and try to battle, you’re dead in seconds flat. ;)
Now, what more can I say? I highly recommend downloading this battle lvl.[This review has been edited by White Rabbit]

Warch! Rule! Let’s download this! Now! =)
OMG WOW SUCH GOOD TILESET USE
As I played this level, i was amazed, how beautiful the level looked! I just stared at it for such a long time because it rocked! Excellent tileset use EXCELLENT U HEAR ME I DUN THINK I SAW BETTER!!!! Placement a bit sparce, more coins than weapons, but that only lowers it by 0.3 because the only reward is the one that u need 100 coins for (I havent found out how to reach the trig crate yet ;P
The reason it isnt 9.7 is that i have a bias that single levels cannot get more than a 9. 9 and over is only for tilesets and good levelpacks.(Music limit is 9 as well for me) so 8.7 is what it gets and a big fat d/l recc
