Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Hmmm, this is confusing.
The first level, “Jubilee Joy” could make a nice race level but it’s quite useless for a battle (somehow, i got the impression that the author completely forgot about ammo!?). Design and eyecandy are not too bad but a tad too repetetive as iCeD mentioned.
The second level called “Allys and Gullies” is something totally different: a classic hotel level with rooms (I want one! Pleaseplease!!! err…no! just kidding ;-) and letters saying “This is my room. Keep out. Blah.” and stuff like that. It uses the “Building” tileset by Gringo (which is…well, okay…an average hotel tileset in my opinion). As you can imagine, i don’t like this pack too much. Very slightly below the average i think. Hotel fans will probably like it.

P.S.: Tip of the day:
Don’t use points (“.”) in filenames. Could cause trouble. Believe me.[This review has been edited by Aiko]

“Battle Out4” defintely reminds me of “Carrottus Squash”. Like in martin’s masterpiece, design and eyecandy are very good. The platformish level style makes it a great level for hardcore battle freaks and yes, it really allows fluent navigation. Unfortunately, this level uses one of the tilesets i dont like too much so that could make me substract some tenth points (sp?). Event placement is very good, as iCeD mentioned.
Overall, not as perfect as “Carrottus Squash” but REALLY WORTH THE 11 KB. You should DOWNLOAD before its too late (who knows? maybe we will all die or your harddisk will be full or…).

By the way: the author forgot to set a correct next level setting. Bad idea, as i have mentioned 1000 times before :-)

P.P.S.:
To all authors: Please, please add SP level start events. Makes testing way easier for us reviewers :-)

Ok, I won’t d/l it.

“Battle Out 4” is a nice level (btw, next time simply RE-UPLOAD your level when you want to fix it..) using the Carrotus tileset. It has a nice layout and great eye candy, and really makes good use of the (overused. ;-) Carrotus tileset. The weapon selection/rest of event placement was OK, but could have been easily improved. There are a few flaws in the design which can bring it down, such as powerups near each other and dead ends which hurt the fluency of gameplay. I also felt the need for just a few more powerups, but overall nice job.

Any Jazzer should direct his cursor to the DOWNLOAD link above. I recommend this.

This level pack includes two simple levels, a kind of annoying hotel-like (evil. ;-) one, which I don’t really like. (if I had to grade each of the levels seperately I would give the hotel one a 4 and the Tube one a 6…) I could go on ranting about how much I don’t like hotels but I think that can be spared for this review.

One of my various complaints for this pack was the levels used too many of the same tiles, giving it a quite boring feel overall I guess. you should add some more variety to keep the player exploring… might I say you did a nice job with the bg in the Tube level. It looks good (a little crowded though.)

Overall my thoughts on this are average… you choose if you want to d/l.

You’re not? (Puts head down in shame)
(Quiet) But I like saying levels suck (Mine especially :-)

GEEZ! THIS LEVEL SUCKS!
(Ah that felt better :-)

Well anyhow its not that bad…Better than my levels :)…Wait! It looks a lot like my levels! No eyecandy, ugly, and short! its got KJAZZ written all over it! :)

Well its good for a first.

~KJAZZ who thinks hes so funny that his liver exploded and now hes dead.

It’s a fun game BTW.

Download or not? Decide yourself i’d say. (Well, if you always wanted to know how your ‘puter works inside…)

Heh. Thats about the only reason you’d wanna download this (No offense to author) because it’s (like the other reviewers said, its too hotel like and looks a little ugly. But, also like the other reviewers, I like the general idea.

Thats my 2 Cents (News music plays)

“Futuristic Times” has one big problem: its not really a battle level (despite the author describes it as one) but not really a single player level either.

The whole design (which is quite good at the beginning in the upper left corner, but then gets worse in the lower right corner) would better fit for a SP map. A battle level should be circular and allow easy navigation.

The eyecandy is also good at the beginning (see? thats the problem: a good battle level never has a beginning at all) but then loses quality in the other areas of the map.
The JJ1 3D Bonus stage music fits quite good for MEZ levels, i think.

To conclude my review…“Futuristic Times” is definitely below the average and therefore not really a top candidate for a download. It just needs some more work (low four points).

Oh and “stenace”, reviews are never meant as personal attacks but as objective (at least we hope so) comparisons with other levels. We just want to help creating the largest list of homecooked stuff for J2 to make peoples download decisions easier. We can’t rate certain levels higher just ‘cause they were made by a beginner. If you want to discuss this, i invite you to visit the JMMB.

P.S.:
Wrong next level setting (leads to a level thats not in the pack).

beginner or pro it doesnt matter.
if u want high ratings go build a good lvl. we cant give a newbie 8s and 9s just cos hes newbie that wouldnt be fair

This is very useful. I used to hack the registry for this kind of stuff, but I couldn’t. I had to repatch my listservers, and it got rid of where you change my name. Then someone suggested this to me. It worked. Also, my brother likes it, because he does not know how to hack the registry. This is very fast, and is easier than hacking. Thus, the 10 rating.

“Eyecandy” Means how well you’ve used all the layers, Blaster

I’ll review later

Ehr ACE. You’re supossed to review. Not to just say it sucks or not.

I some how have my brains on puzzles but how are my levels tedious!!Genotoxin aka Iced…..You’re a bum! quit dissin a beginner’s levels so badly!!!!!!!!!!!

Why does everyone hate my stages so much??!!!!I’m just a beginner ya kno. Be nice you’re all discouraging me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and just becuz i do puzzles to get to battle zones you don’t hav to hate it!!!!!!!!In fact i always try to do best on eyecandy!!!

=(stanace)=

Hmm… you really should have emailed me that, rather than mess up the reviews here.

Looking at the info tho, I can see the error happened in the install. Basically, it has to be a problem with your computer, not the program. The install program is the standard one that ships with Visual Studio. I don’t know how to help you here, I’ve never heard of this error before. Only possibility I can think of is to try to install to a different drive/directory, as it seems the error occured in the CreateDir section.

Perhaps by accident you tried to install to your CD drive? Unless you have a second hard drive.

Please stop the flamebait reviews.

Super Mario SUCKS!!!
but it’s a cool level!!

Yet again a below average level. Uses the MEZ03 tileset, has okay eye candy, a strange (kind of hotel like) layout, along with some sort of puzzle like thing needed to get into the main battle place. Not very interesting. The puzzle idea isn’t original, and is quite tedious. (I mean, c’mon, I had to use jjcoins to get out of it), also the eye candy is kind of confusing at times.

Overall I was undecided about a rating.. so I settled on 3.5. Not worth a d/l IMO.

Well allow me to be the first to say I don’t really like this much. It was pretty simple, some bad level settings (NEVER EVER use subdirectories! Leads to lots of problems!), and it was.. well, boring. It has a few good sides (such as… well, I’ll think about it.) but aside of that there is no real reason to download this. Sorry.
