Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

This tileset is really nice

This is a nice level.
I like:
- The three versions (day, afternoon, evening)
- The tileset ;)
- No layer-errors (I’ve seen no)
- nice eyecandy
I dont like so much:
- I think it’s a lil bit too big (perhaps you dont think this).
All in one, once again: A very good battlelevel.

I thought Desert Forces was Unhit’s first tileset? Oh well, nm. Let’s get on with the review:

New Castle is quite a neat although small tileset by Unhit. I’m gonna write the review in different sections to make it easier for you to read and understand it.

The background is beautifully textured and is also very detailed. There are also other background tiles like the rain which is quite ugly and simple but it works. And also the white stone walls. ?! Heard that?! White, my favourite colour!! :-D (OK, I admit, the white walls aren’t completely white, some areas are kinda grey. Happy now? :-P) Alright…er…because the background tiles are so great (and HUGE) I’ll guess I have to give an whole 3.5+ for that.

The animations are quite good too and I couldn’t see anything wrong with them. Unfortunately, there are only animations of burning candles or whatever and it would be good if there was more. You could for example make the eyes of the rabbits in the paintings move to give ppl the feeling the castle is haunted. Well, since there is nothing wrong with the animations, I’ll give them an 1.5. Good job.

Now on to the basic blocks. There are many (if not all) basic blox here. The vines, spikes, poles, destruct and buttstomp blocks and also (obviously) walking blox. There’s not much to say really, almost everthing is here. Nice on Unhit. 1.5+ for these stuff. :-)

The eyecandy, however isn’t exactly New Castle’s strongest point. It has got the beautiful background and the rain but there are also some paintings of Jazz, Spaz and Lori to put in the walls. And also, to make the “I’m in an oldy old castle” feeling better, Unhit has put some windows, some swords and spears in too. However, I would prefer some knights with armour and maybe some bows? That would look much better. After all, it is a castle. Then there are also..ehm…lots of other castle stuff I’m too lazy to talk about. Well, anyway. The eyecandy is OK. But I’ll only give it an 0.2 cause there isn’t much originality.

And here comes the last section: Usefulness and ease of use. Well, let’s put it this way: the tileset doesn’t look much like a castle at all even though I know Unhit tried his best. I mean, where the heck is the battlements? (Towers) And the drawbridges? And the knights in shining armour? And the great big walls? The tileset looks quite like some kind of monastery rather than a castle. But perhaps it doesn’t matter much cause I’ve seen the tileset and it looks very easy to use. (That’s definitively good news for newbies. :-)

Now, for the final rating…6.7! Not exactly an GREAT rating but I think New Castle deserves it. However, even though the rating isn’t that good, I recommend you to download this tileset cause…er…cause I said so. :-P

Cheers,

White Rabbit.

I’ll write a review without full sentences ;):
Good:
- Eyecandy
- No “visible” layer-errors
- The size of the lvls is ok
- Good tileset
Theres no really bad thing. A great CTF-pack!

Good:
- The walls
- The background
- The pictures

Not-as-good:
- The pillars

All in one, I think the tileset is pretty good. I’ll rate it with an 8 (because there’s no 7.9 ;D).

Lemme clear up something. A “J2O Addict”, “Top Reviewer”, or “I Might as well work here” rank doesn’t mean you;re a smart and good reviewer. It just means you made much reviews. So Freezolf’s “Occasional reviewer” rank doesn’t mean that he can’t give good reviews and ratings. Thank you.

The review. The tileset is really nice. It has really a “castle feeling”, altough another “castle feeling” as the “official” castle tileset. There are white stone wall scenery for rooms, black stone background scenery’s for in caves, a very beautiful background with mountains, paintings of our big friends Lori, Jazz and Spaz, pillars, burning fire, rain, spikes, plants, and normal stones, and even blocks. Not to forget the clan and name advertisements ;). I don’t really mind the “stolen graphics”, because they are almost stolen by everyone eho wants to make that kind of stuff in his/her tileset.

Well, i can’t say much more about this. Just download this very neat little tileset now! Rating is 8,0. get it before it flies away.

Hmmm.. pretty average level!

Good points:
-Nice level to play.. didn’t find any bugs..
-A good amount of eyecandy (at some places could have been more)
-Length is pretty o.k.
-Me loves carrottus ^^

———————————————————-

Bad points:
-Too much food!
-On some places the enemies were bad-placed.
-No weapons (Only bouncers at the coin warp)

I gave you a 7, it would be a 7.2 / 7.5 if the level wasn’t TSF.

This is a nice outside- tileset with a music that gives you the spirit of the jungle :). The combination of outside and temples was made very good, and I like the stone-jazzes.
The trees don’t look that real, but you can do a lot with them, and I know how hard it is to make a good-looking tree, especially with 256 colours.
A very good tileset at all. Download. NOW.

This tileset remembers me a lot on mirrow’s Small Castle. And this tileset is a good tileset. So Darkness is also good, and it brings lots of good new ideas with it. The best example for it is that moving…thing (!?). it’s very cool ;).
A good tileset at all. It’s also easy to use, in addition. Downlodas NOW.

Nice level here by EvlilMike.
Great fluent desugn.
Could be a little bigger.
Could use a tad more weapons.
Good use of tileset.
That’s all there is to say.

This is a funny tileset, with lots of good ideas. You can do a lot with the tiles given, and there are cool things like the smoking Jazz, and, mirrow’s Spaz standing between two Loris ;). The disco looks also very good, the dancing rabbots look nice, and I like the DJ Spaz.
For outside, the shields are nice and the lightnings also look good.
While playing this tileset, you can really get the spirit of a party. Everything you need for that kind of tileset is included. A very good tileset. Download it. NOW.

I was betatester of this level and it was nice to see how the lvl became better and better. It has been a secret project of SuperSaiyan and WR, and nobody out of the creators and betatester knew of it, I think.
This level uses the pretty hard to use, I think, “Swamps of the sleeping Jaguar”-Tileset by Agama.
It has been also a good idea to include the level in all variations of the tileset: day, evening and night, so everyone can pick out his favourite one.
One of the best battlelevels I know. Download. NOW.

A cool CTF pack using cool sutom levels. I cant say a lot. This CTF pack is very, very good. Download it. NOW. And if not now, don’t forget. You have to play this once, for to know what good CTF-levels are ;).

Buster, who’s making you give away such horibly high ratings;)? But now seriously. I did’nt like this level quit that much. It uses Blade’s awesome forest tileset, downloadable right here at J2O. It makes pretty good use of it, i dont have too much complaints about tileset usege here. Design is pretty simple, not bad though. Like Mike himself already said, you can run from one base to the other without having to jump, thats good. Not much obstacles in this level, i like that. This means the level is has good, fluent gameplay. The whole design seemed sort of unorigenal though, the idea of a CTF (or any other gameplay mode for that matter) in a underground tunnel system has been used a few times already, its nothing i have’nt seen before. Weapen placement is good, not too much, not too litle, and well devided over the entire map. Music did’nt totaly fit in this level. I would have prefered Blade’s music choice, MR. Stewe’s “Static Universe” soundtrack, wich totaly fits in with this tileset if you ask me. Oh, and “Cavern CTF” is’nt realy a origenal name right:-\? I would have done somthing like: Grassy Caverns” or some title in that direction, much beter if you ask me;P. Well, after much thought, i have decided to award “Cavern CTF” with these nice litle 7.5 points. You dont ToTaLy NeEd to download this, but i’d still say you should, because its pretty good.

Here’s a solid piece of spiffyness for you.

First off, I love the tileset you used. It looks like it was finger-painted, yet with lots of depth, which you took good advantage of.

Layer work is good. Nice background, and I like the foreground eye-candy at the lower levels.

Design is good too. You can run from one flag to the other without jumping, but the rest of the level is easy to get around in should you need to jump out of the fray (the lone full-health carrot at the top of the level makes this important).

Overall, this isn’t the most spectacular level you’ll ever see, but it really doesn’t have any problems that I can find. I didn’t even notice a mismatched tile (though I confess I didn’t go searching for one).

Thusly, being unspectacular yet well-designed and without any noticable flaws, I hereby decree this level the honorable rating of 9. Or thus says my rating system (9 is good and without noticable flaws…above falls into the extra-mile range).

The tileset looks like it was made by mirrow. Quite odd.
The level feels tomb rabbitish, but this isn’t a level rating.
Very good tileset. I don’t know how easy it is to use though.

You know, the first two single player levels were fine, but just about every other level in the entire pack weren’t so. Eyecandy, Gameplay, Design. Actually, Enemy Placement and Music weren’t that bad, but other then that.
By the way, I have the feeling the MP levels were made in a matter of an hour or so each. They don’t show work.
(Moderately unsupported rating removal edit. ~Violet)[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]

This is a good battle level using the Egypt(day) tileset and has my download reccomendation.

Everything in this level was done well, and I like the layout more than most battle levels. Sandy Temple has a rather circular layout, and doesn’t have any of those “random platforms” splattered everywhere that I hate. A few springs could have been more powerful in this level, but otherwise the level flows well.

I give this a 7.5, which is higher than my usual score for battle levels.

Problem solved.

?, for some strange reazon Jazz2 isn`t opening the level.
First it says it misses the tileset.
And then he says it a unsupported level ore something.
Hmm…
Sorry, i think i can`t review it now.
I’ll do it later, when i know why it
