    Yeah, I like this pack! This is very good, mostly. Evilmike has made a big count of cool levels and putted it in a single pack. He has used mostly Carrottus and Diamondus tilesets, but there’s too his own ones and other people’s. The levels are race, battle, treasure and ctf levels. The levels have lots of pure ideas, and the level design is so accurate. I like it. The weapon placement is in good condition. And the musics are cool tracks from JJ2. But I think the biggest goof is that the levels are not connected to each other. If you have to change the level, you gotta go to the menu and search the next level from the list. And the level names are miscellaneous. It can be hard to search Evilmike’s all the levels from the list. My opinion is that Evilmike should categorize his levels like this EvilmikesBattle1.j2l, EvilmikesRace1.j2l, etc… And I couldn’t run the level called “Desert Of Death”, because the game couldn’t find the level Evilmike5.j2l. Don’t ask me how that happened. There’s one more thing to whine. In some levels there are not start points for Jazz and Spaz, only MP starts, but that’s kinda little problem.

    Anyway, this pack rocks. These levels are so great that I should host a server with one of these levels. Great job, Evilmike!

    And Evilmike wishes all of us tell our favourite level. My favourite was definitely that JJ1 Diamondus level “Shine-O-Rific Land”.[This review has been edited by Blade]

    And something big this is!

    The download was faster than I though when looking at the description, but thats prolly because I chose the right time…

    There are many level and / or tilesets in the zip file which is good.
    As Blade said most of them use the overused diamondus and carrotus tileset and the levels dont seem to be finished on some parts. However a cool background on most levels and some interesting stuff makes the levels interesting to play. The Blue world level for instance has great variation and background, like the weirldlyness (or something level) which also has messed up :) pallettes and colors.

    The levels are IMO meant for 2 – 4 player battle in most stuff and the next level settings of all levels is wrong (no sequence just level by level).

    All in all I wouldnt say it deserves the 8.7 given by blade, but more of a…. 7.7

    AAH! Memories! Don’t ask why, but my favorite level was “I Hate This Tileset. :P” My second favorite was “Shine-O-Riffic Land.” I really have no idea why. All of these levels were well thought out, but some levels used some overused tilesets. All of them had nice backgrounds and layouts. Overall, you did a good job on all of these levels, old to new. =)

    This is realy a very nift-ular pack by Evilmike. The tilesets are very nice. I especialy liked the tileset of up-side-down Diamondus. I should make a level with it once:-P. The levels are mostly very good two. My favorite was Shine-o-rific land. I`ve gotta stop now, maybe i`ll make my review a litle more detailed later.

    As I recall there was a jj1diamondus tileset in this level pack. I needed that one…

    Some levels were really small like diamondus cave, and I didnt like them.
    Screwed CTF was also very small and confusing, and liable to flag bug. I didnt like it.Shine-o-rific land rocked, although the coin limit mauy have been high. EvilMike1, which i am pretty sure is a battle level, has the left side open and it kinda misses out on a lot of things. I didnt like it much, but it was better than some levels in the pack. Diamondus pit wasnt that bad, it was ok. Though Ive seen way better diamondus levels. Diamondus forest, eyecandy was ok, maybe too confusing, and I despised the layout. Desert of death: Tileset not found? :l Some level or something: The eycandy i liked, though it was confusing. The layout wasnt that bad, but the music was missing…Big O: cool tileset, awesome music. Tileset use wasa bit confusing though, so was the layout, which i feel was spaz biased. A bit to many electric cords: Not too bad, though the music was yet again missing.EvilSmile: Lol funny level, but to small, and i feel a greater variety of gems could of been used. I hate this tileset: The level wasnt actually that bad, though I cannot say the same for the tileset…Castle chaos: At first i thought this was a race, then battle. Please include what type of gameplay these levels represent (treasure, CTF etc.) If its battle, there are way to much destruct blocks here. Despite the many little things i despised and even though this sucks compared to some other battle levels, I liked this level. I am strangely addicted to the tileset andthe music was AMAZING! Mikes castle: The left side is completely open, and the layout seriously distrubed me. I didnt like this much. EvilMikes hidden temple: This is one of the few levels I actually liked, though id rate this no more than a 6.. Storm CTF: love the backround and the creative tileset use (though confusing), the layout was still evil though.Cheese is green on tuesday: Not too bad for a race level. Though the springs were annoying, there were to much jagged edges and the passages were to small. Some times it was way to dark as well.(whatever the name of this is, its to long and complicated): Was bettet than the last level. The yoghurt is after me: lol, name fits the level. Th gems are very sparce, a CTF BASE!!!?Wasnt this suppose to be treausre….The temple: I was really frustrated by this and couldnt find a way out. The items=underused and the nemies=ooverused.Bonus level: GASP BONUS =O! I liked this level, it was good, i like these types of levels, they are good. Deserted diamondus: the final level. IT was ok, though could of been much better, as well as much worse.

    My final rating: Probably a 5.5. This may seem strict or unfair to you, EvilMike or the admins, but the rating is what I think these levels deserve. Most of them are no more than average, and some are slightly below. I feel EvilMike spend half an hour on some of them, or maybe less. There are many cons in these levels, and I didnt like them. Though there is a lot, quality over quantity ppl. Again, sorry for the strict rating. Ill think Ill give it a 5.7 instead..

    I felt like returning to the jazz2 community with something big :)

    EvilMike Posted more than 20 years ago

    I was wondering, could you all state which level is your favourite? Then I can make another level in it’s style.
