Cool! I really like the idea of using the neat “Jazz1: Technoir” tileset conversion by Newspaz (about 200 tiles).

The design of the level is very good (pretty classic SP style) and there is a fair amount of good looking eyecandy. The water isn’t a problem at all (its not like the level is completely flooded or something :-). Enemy and savepoint placement is good and the level is quite long actually.
And of course, the original Jazz 1 music fits perfect.

Conclusion: “Techno Land” gives you about ten minutes of great single player fun and a very good impression of whats possible with Jazz1 tilesets!

I don’t feel like theres a need to completely write a new review for the current version of Shad’s “The Future Evolution” so here goes my my edited review from the previous version:

Wow!!! With this CTF level pack, ShadowGPW proves it again: he is one of the best level designers of all times. “The Future Evolution” includes five absolutely stunning CTF maps using Tube Electric, Labrat, MEZ’s third set (Version 03b, i wonder why he included 03a also) and two of DethMan’s awesome CyberSpaz tilesets. No doubt, this is one of the best CTF packs i’ve ever seen. Amazing!

The design and layout of the levels in unbelievable and so is the eyecandy. Spaceships, insane tube constructions, you’ll get everything here! I’m lacking words too describe it.

Not to forget the music: very fresh, very rocking tunes using the classic tracking style. Great choice, great! Sorath’s two tunes leave me completely breathless, as well as the song by W3Z and Skaven’s rocking “Return Of The Cats”. Only the “Episode” (kill.mod) didn’t fit perfectly (no biggie though).

Well, anyways…Shadow, i bow down to you! You truly deserve a 9 for this AWESOME pack! (9!!! Still makes me dizzy :-).

To sum it up, if you don’t download this, you don’t want to download anything else because you can’t be a Jazz player in that case. Things like this make people like me thinking about converting to CTF fans ;-) DOWNLOAD NOW!!!

P.S.: The few minor bugs have been corrected to my satisfaction :-)[This review has been edited by Aiko]

AHa It was about time for some excellent stuff on j2o and these levels are a good example of that.

Im not really into ctf but as far as i have testeed it (against my brother) the levels were great exept for a few text bugs.

The eyecandy is good, weapon placement is good and gameplay is excellent.

This level gets a MUST DOWNLOAD recommendation from me.

Whoah You’ve done a censored good job.
I think these levels are the best ctf-levels I’ve ever seen. I especially like mlclaustro. Some nice eyecandy and the weapondeployment is ok aswell.You walk very fast and smoothly through these levels which I think is very important with ctf. It also includes some humor which I personally like.These musicfiles and tilsets are great they were an exellent choice.Man You’ll get a 9 from me man.Keep up the great work.[This review has been edited by F!re]

I know it’s hard to make a good tileset but hey! It’s what I think.
And you don’t have to go over the moon about it.

Good things:
good use of tilset
easy normal hard modes

Bad things:
NO MUSIC!!!or you didn’t include the file in the .zip file, already -1 point for that!
Far to many enemies i think you’ve only done that to make this lvl a little harder because else it would be rally easy.
bad pickups deployment
This level wasn’t fun to play.

If this is your BEST single player level than youve got some work to do![This review has been edited by F!re]

The level does not include the music file technoir.s3m, but i had one with another name so thats ok for me. Others might want to download the jj1 music (also on j2o).

The level has desent eyecandy and good enemy placement, although it seems a bit overdone on some ocasions. (like falling upon 4 turtles. There are about 7 different enemies in the level with the normal turtle as most-used.
I would recommend placing more flying enemies like floating lizards or sparks in this level.

The level lacks pickups of all sorts in most places, but there are several stashes of big pickups (like 4 filled gem boxes), I would advise you to spread the events more and increase the amount of ammo pickups throughout the start of the level. I myself dont always do it either, but putting weaponry in improves the gameplay.

Overall i would certainly recommend downloading a level such as this. A good 7.5 points from good ol’ me.

Only 3 rows of tiles, nothing to build with in this tileset, not worth a download because you can get it in a 2 second download just by joining Gargoyle’s Kysis’s server. The level is a worthless peace of crap (no offense) but people can host battle1 on treasure hunt mode or any other level.
But I’m going to raise the rating from 2.2 up to 3.2 just because it’s a nice idea and I might copy it.
