A baddie excessive attempt at a difficult level.
This level is overflowed with baddies to the point where JJ2 will not function properly. It gave me a fatal error every so often, like when I went to change to low detail. This was frustrating. It wasn’t only overflowed for the game to operate incorrectly, but also so that it wasn`t very much fun. I could tell by using so many baddies it was supposed to be hard, but it was actually quite easy. I would have much preferred some more physical terrain, which made it hard instead of 20 baddies over a space of 8 tiles. Maybe some trigger sceneries would help. The eye candy was also a disappointment. Three of the four background layers didn`t tile and were rather awkward looking during game-play. On layer 2 were the poles w/ skulls, which were too repetitive. A little more space between them could have made it nice. Some of the walking enemies were placed on slopes, or ditches, gullies etc.. where they couldn`t walk. Most of the level was carved out and consisted of little paths between the rocks. This gave it a noobish feel to the layout. There were quite a few open areas, but none of these were taken advantage of with springs and such. One specific point in the level bugged me. There is a spot where there are collapsing sceneries, as often seen in Inferno. But what bothered me, was if you don`t make it across, you fall into a pit of fire with hurt events so you would have to wait until you were killed. It would have been nice if it had dropped to a previous point in the level, and the baddies that you had to redo could be on a generator so that they would have to be killed again. The level also seemed long and redundant. I would have preferred JJTublear to spend the time on maybe another one or two levels to make a pack, instead of a long, drawn out level. All in all, Inferno Infiltration gets a 4.5 for its lack of fun, reliability, creativity, and layout. Not a level to download. [This review has been edited by Genotoxin aka iCeD]

Whee. This level gives a nice demonstration of a lot of enemies in an attempt to make it more difficult. But you know what, I think your overdoing of the enemies didn’t add anything to the level. It didn’t make it much harder, just gave it a “shoot all the time in hope that they won’t hurt you” feel. The eye candy could have also been improved significantly as Ace UOI already said. The BG was rather ugly to look at and the foreground didn’t look right.
You really need to spend more time polishing your levels, JJ Tublear. Most of this felt like a mess.
Overall this is fairly average (I was going to give it a 4.5). You might want to download it but probably not.

First of all:
JJ Tublear, PLEASE stop posting so many useless reviews. Use the “Edit review” and “Delete” function instead!
Now, “Inferno Infiltration v4.0” is a pretty boring level in my opinion. I am aware that “Inferno” isn’t the easiest tileset to work with and regarding that, the author did a good job. But the whole layout (enemy placement!) is way too simple and without any real surprises or interesting spots. The eyecandy is okay, some of the “bone constructions” for example.
Well, my overall impression is still that this level misses the special touch to make it worth the download. Sorry.

I kind of liked the level but it had too much foreground, the backround was choppy, and there was too many badguys.
The place where there is collapsing scenery is annoying. If you fall in your dead, and “jjfly” came in handy.
If you like a BIG challenge, download this[This review has been edited by MoonShadow]

I past this level in 5 minutes (What? Im not a pro on JJ2. But I like it:))
Anyway, I don,t see any oweruse of enemies. Exept, that the level is way easy, and it needs more Environment ant Gameplay events, as this lev isnt wery original. Don’t know about you, guys, but my PC worked fine, wile playng this SP, even if I have pentium 2(340HZ).Old, huh? My father will update it soon, or my name isn’t GAMER)
Sorry, that I reviewd a lot of nonesence.
Best wishes.

What exactly is “noobish”?
