This review will be rushed, guaranteed. Also note that I’ve never played JJ1 before.

CARROT PLACEMENT: Decent.
AMMO PLACEMENT: Decent.
HOST THIS OFTEN? Maybe a few times after truly understanding how this level works.
Overall review: I can’t say I hate any one of these levels. I was expecting something a little better, but the pack in all is good. My biggest gripe would have to be with the size of a lot of these levels. I’m not much of a fan of small levels anymore, but I won’t let that affect the rating. Also, I was really expecting FireSworD’s One Spot Extended level to be in this pack. But anyway, I liked most of the levels in this pack, and I might actually host the pack from time to time, so an 8.5 will be my rating.
