Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Another day, another rating…Not much to ad to the other reviews, all the good things have been sed:-D. My only 2 complaints:
-Dont use food in battle levels
-The music file does`nt fit the level 100 percent

Cool! “Chocolate Lamp” is a very decent battle level using fellow german tileset maker Skulg’s great “Lava Lamp” tileset. In the readme file, the author tells us that he used Commander Dats’ little level making tutorial as a reference…all i can say is: very smart idea! :-)
The level has some quite original ideas in it, for example a yellow/black/red cycling background layer, pinball events and hidden warps and sucker tubes. The whole layout is quite fluently playable which is the main requirement for every good battle map. Violet CLM also tried to put some eyecandy in it, the screen is dominated by those large red…errr…bubbles (at least six layers used, i think). Nevertheless, there are some aspects in “Chocolate Lamp” i don’t like that much. There is an obvious lack of weapons in my opinion and there are way too many shootable blocks, for example. Furthermore, DISTORT.MOD by basehead isn’t my favourite song for this level, sorry.

However, “Chocolate Lamp” is a very original and good looking level creation using a great custom tileset. Therefore, i can only STRONGLY RECOMMEND DOWNLOADiNG iT and hosting a battle server or two!!!

Niftyness! This is one of the most origenal singleplayer levels i`ve seen in sometime. The sub idea is cinda cool, so is the enemy sub(Bolly). My only complaint: No background music.(i wonder why)

Cool-o-rific-ness! Saiyens first Jazz2online release rocks da stadium! But, lets get down to the nitty-gritty of my list of complaints:
-some dead ends
-food*
-i discovered some enemys in the 2nd level
-Cinda easy to get lost(for me)
-The 100+lighting in
level 2 cinda blinds the eyes(no wonder i have glasses:-P)
-Some places are very linear
-The “tileset by Agama” sign in the 1st level folows you, wich makes it iritating to play

And my list of things that are good:-D:
-Superb level design
-Perfect use of agamas tileset
I liked the “Birds for 15 dinar” slogan, even though it was 10 coins dinar:]
-The way you used the tileset, is a way i`ve never seen it being used before
-Someone finaly used an underused custom tileset!

To conclude this review, i must admit that these levels are, in some aspects, way beter then my first levels. Dont read this, download now:-D

P.S.: Incase you did`nt know, Skulg is a she(it said he in the readme:-D).

Heh, Shad does it again. This is yet another state-of-the-art battle level by former ML member, ShadowGpW. The level looks very good. It uses the Cyberspaz 2V tileset by Dethman, and it has a very cool, dirty and industrial feeling.

Manouverability is absolutely no problem in this level. All platforms and other structures are very well reachable. The level has a pretty good amount of space to move around in. It does’nt feature small, sorta claustrofobic paths like Spy’s levels, or wide open spaces like Disguise’s levels, but is sorta in-between, creating a good playing envirement. Design is vcery circular, creating good and fluent gameplay.

Tileset use is another very strong part in this level. Like i said before, it uses the “Cyberspaz 2V” tileset by Dethman, wich, even though it looks a tad unfinished, and is automasked(!), is a great tileset to work with, because its so easy to use, and has a lot of posible tile combinations. With this level, Shadow realy demonstrates what can be done with this set. The level looks very good, and makes splendid use of the tileset. Layerwork is perfect, i have’nt a single complaint about it. It looks positively great, with all sorts of pipes and iron bars running through the background, and poles and wires in the foreground, giving it a realy good, construction-site like feel to it.

Item placement is also pretty good. Most weapens where used, and, like in all ML releases, some yummy food. I like it that people still use food in levels. I used to be against it, but now i think it is a pretty good adition to a level, because it makes pretty good extra eyecandy, providing you use a type of food that sorta blends in with the colours of a level, and it can be well used to fill up the level. Carrots where only placed in secret areas, wich i dont like too much. Powerup placement is also good, well in balence with the amount of weapens and other items. Wepanes are well devided over the entire level, so that you never realy have to look far for a few new rounds of ammunition.

And, last, but not least, the music. For this level, Shadow choose a nifty li’ll soundtrack called “Tempest 2000”, wich was composed by a guy called Wessy. I realy must say i like this song. It sounds sorta crazy and weird, but hey, that good, in my opinion. The remixed version was probably beter, ‘cuz this one is a litle bit repeative, but its a very good choice, and fits the levels envirement well.

I must say that i realy, realy like this li’ll battle level by Shad(ow)GpW. Expect me to be servering it a lot once i get back to online JJ2 again. I award Toxic Waste with a high (or low…?) 8.2 points for being so d*mn cool.[This review has been edited by >CelL<]

I did`nt do this yet? Then here i am:-].
This is one of the best singleplayer pack i`ve seen in some time. The 3rd level, deserted diamondus, was released earlier. I`m not going to review it again, so look [URL]here for my review on that one. The other 2 brand new levels, Alien chemestry and bonuds level(pretty corny name though) are also state of the art levels. They are very hard, but also very fun to play. `Nuff said.

Nice litle battle level. Thats all i have too say.

~>CelL<

After all this time, a review for you.
Arent i the sympathetic guy:-P?
This is by far one of the hardets levels i`ve ever played. I was unable to finish it, sadly, but from what i`ve seen so far, it looks great. The design is superb, and the level is uge(and hard as heck:-]). The level uses Dats`s awesome “Plastic dreams” tileset, wich was very well used. Great kevel. Dats is elite.

Spacey-ness! This level is realy one of the best battle levels i`ve seen in a while. Flash used the (AWESOME!!!) tileset “spacey universe) by Disguese very neatly. The level design is superb. The ammo placement and stuff like that is good too. The music fits very well too. I also like the slogan:“Jazz2 4ever!”(who does`nt?:-d)
To end this review, i would like to say that every battle fan out there should download this!

I LIKE THIS LVL

(4.2 is sort of a low rating for a level you like. Rating removed. -Trafton)[This review has been edited by Trafton AT]

YaY! Finaly someone uses one of Skulg tilesets! There are some much good tilesets out there, but no one uses them…Just think…Dats, Disguese, Overlord, Agama(!), Newspaz… But anyway. Lets get down to the nitty-gritty of inheriting my mony reviewing this level.

I`m giving this level a very high 9(!) points. Why, you say? Here`s why:

This is one of the best battle levels i`ve seen in a long time. The weapen placement is excelent. So is the level design and the eyecandy. The music fits nicely too, although i could`ve thought of some music files that would fit beter. The tileset was used in a realy superb way. Download recomendation? By golly, yes!:-D.

Good races. I didn’t like the swimming one, though. BIG HINT: BE SPAZ! :)

This is pretty good for what seems to be a newbie level. There’s too much ammo, etc, etc, expecially power-ups in the same place. The eye-candy is better than most newbie levels. 4.5 from me.

I DON’T LIKE THIS LVL AND I DONT BUT I LIKE THE TILESET

(You rate the level, not the tileset. Rating removed. -Trafton)[This review has been edited by Trafton AT]

(Aww! Why do these authors always forgot to set a single player start event?!)
Well, as for the actual review, Fl@sh made some good choices before he decided to start building the level: he uses Disguise’s COMPLETELY AWESOME “Spacey Universe” tileset and the fasttracked “Deadlock” tune by Elwood (so…as you can see, the music is not by “Somebody” but by Elwood, member of the super 133t finnish demo/tracking scene!).
The level itself looks very cool, Fl@sh used all kinds of different structures and objects from the set and placed them very wisely. The design makes it very fluently playable and a joyful experience to battle! About the layer work: what can i say, just beautiful…mainly because of the tileset but the level author did what he had to do. Very nice arrangements!
The music (see above) also fits perfectly.

I reward “Everlasting Allyship” with eight (8!!!) points because i’m sooo happy to finally some quality at J2O and some guys that still know how to choose a neat tileset and make a good level out of it. Great level making, Fl@shman![This review has been edited by Aiko]

First of all: good idea to use this great new tileset by Newspaz! Otherwise i think that “WS Meza (Part 1)” is not open enough. There are too many poles, vines and walls. I also found some minor tile placement bugs (despite the fact that Meza is horribly easy to use :-) and somehow, the water events are placed in a wrong manner (when i tested the water suddenly appeared at some point. The eyecandy is okay, but nothing spectacular if you have a closer look.
The music from Jazz1 (song14.s3m) fits okay, but i’d prefer hearing the original song Newspaz included in his tileset pack here.
Apart from all that, the next level setting is wrong.

Nevertheless, all fans of new tilesets and battle levels may like this new map. For everyone else, its not really a must-download. Slightly above the average, i think (and too many minor bugs).

Nie lvl,i love it

Ehhh….. another hotel?…. gag me… The set’s ok, though. Here’s a note to every1 who makes hotels: DON’T!!!
