    This episode was something of a disappointment. Gone are the interesting ideas from the previous episodes, instead there are only four single player levels and a boss, mostly without interest. Now that the sparkle is gone, the levels must stand on their own, and they are revealed to be short, and often uninspired. The eyecandy varies between levels – Technoir looks good, while Medivo is positively ugly. There are no “next level” bugs this time, but that doesn’t make up for the fact that yes, this installment feels heavily rushed.
    So, these are ordinary single player levels, but what kind? The “shoot shoot shoot” kind. Jazz runs through a series of passages generally unloading his blaster at each new villain, few of which are placed in very interesting locations. There were a few well done areas, but for the most part these were quite generic and without interest. Perhaps next time the fun will be back, and maybe the author can even introduce a plot??? who knows.
    Download recommendation: Mostly a yes, but if you liked the last two installments a lot, you may not want to download this one, where the bonus level is not even remotely enjoyable.
