Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Some lazy review from your clan leader. :)

The eyecandy is rather well.
I think the blue base is too overpowered in defending and the map a bit too small but it’s playable. I also like the music choice.

Keep making levels and you will get better for sure, trust me in this one. =P

Rating is 7.5

I used this one to get the bonus2 tune, and that worked perfectly. it got my attention on a file I never saw before though: maz_phobia_edit.j2b. it had very strange speed changes, but that may just be because of the conversion. the music seems out of place, but it’s j2b so I assume it used to be ingame. anyone know more about that?

agree with snooze, i enjoyed this. and that thunderwalker mostly copy and pastes his review-layouts in general. furthermore i don’t get all his points of downrating like his taste of music.

its a nice level for your first one. imo 7 is far more accurate then 5.6 but whatever

also, since thunderwalker based his rating on music, the rating should be removed

Well, there IS a Seaker PU and a second carrot.

It is a nice first battle level.

Story:
N/A
0/0

Music:
I liked the music not that much, but it was at least quite orginal.
9/10 —-> 10/10

Eyecandy:
It is there, but it is very basic.
6/10

Gameplay:
Level Layout.
There are no warps, but everything is fluid and works properly. There are no real secrets, altough some Electroblaster ammo and the Seeker PU are more or less hidden. But they are too easy to get, with the result the top of the map ends in Seaker mayhem, which concentrates the fight in the bottomleft corner.
There is only one sucker tube which doesn’t do anything unless you are chased, but Seekers will blow you up regardless – it won’t save your ass.
5/10

Pickup Placement:
The toaster PU and a carrot and Seekers are in the left corner, the Seeker PU in the right corner with another carrot. There is no reason to go to the top of the buildings or whatever. There is some ammunition there, but it isn’t needed with the PU’s near the bottom which concentrates the fight even more to the bottom.
5/10

Enemy Placement:
N/A
0/0

Replay Value:
It is too standard, and not orginal. It is either Seaker spam or Toaster spam, a little bit dependant on where you are running. And we’ll have enough of that kind of maps. Sorry.
3/10

——————

28/50 —-> 29/50

Penalties:
None.

5,8/10
However, it is your first level, and it is not that bad, so I’ll round up instead of down because I cannot rate a 5,6 or a 5,8.

DR: I dunno. Decide for yourself. It isn’t that bad, but it isn’t that good either.

The hardest hitter on the rating was actually placing the Seeker PU, because I’d think those ruïn the gameplay in multiplayer levels. The electroblaster PU could be placed better or at least with some Layer 3 in front of it (and the entire building if you do so).
The music, despite I do not like it that much, is no reason to downrate it that much; it has in the end nothing to do with the gameplay. He does get nearly full points there. After talking with FawFul I added the last point there… but it doesn’t change much besides the roundup makes the 5,7 a 6,0.

very funny level around Mario, I like him, but too little frenzy! ;x ;DD

Edit: My review is not accurate because I hadn’t found the seek pu and the second carrot the first time, but most of the stuff + the rating still count.

I promised Agni to review this, so here we go. I like the fact that there are no standard PUs in the level. No bouncers at all is actually good because they would be overpowered with this layout. What I don’t like is that the only PU in the level and the only carrot are in the same area, and the only seeker ammo as well, which would cause the game to be mostly focused there. A warp to the bottom right corner on the top left roof would be nice. I also don’t find the gun9 pu very useful, there are barely any places in the level where you could make use of it, maybe for shooting people who go into the tube, but the gun9 ammo is just enough for that. The eyecandy is good, you’ve used a bit of everything and I see no bugs. It’s nice for a first battle level, I hope to see more in the future.

I don’t know who made the music anyway, I couldn’t find it anywhere, but I thought it was Blur, because he was mentioned in VioletCLM’s CrysilisV download and the other two tracks in that download are tracked from JJ1 and not from Sonic.

Edit:
Snooze, you are probably right.

But what do you exactly mean with “small adjustments”?

Pretty smart!

Blur for the music? What did you smoke to think that?

I guess that was the advice anyway. and you mentioned it’s a sonic track, which i approve. So it would be an remix/conversion.

Anyway, the music is re-tracked by kipling, as the file preview says.

Yeah, ‘‘they must found’‘ it!

This is not your tileset (not at all). This is old. This is not funny anymore. Try Hannah Montana.

yay, first review…

I like this level :)
GJ.

At last level you can fall down…
And NO WEAPONS, NO CARROTS, TOO MUCH BOSSES…

This lvl is freaking bugged. And broken.
I’ve used both 1.23 and 1.24 plus, still crashes on me. I can only just play the lvl with Jazz, until i get to the upper part and jump it just crashes. Also, you forgot the music file. Random ammo placements, seriously unecessary ice PU, don’t leave the left edge of lvl open, or people can stick to the side there and cannot get shot. Really bland lvl design. Also, how the heck am I supposed to get up. I mean the upper part. Theres no spring, and if you added a warp to get up there…thats just lame. Don’t download this until it gets fixed and improved. You even made the lvl passworded which is really unecessary for battle lvls. I could’ve improved and fixed on it for you. For test and sp/coop lvls I could understand though. Who would want to steal this crap? It’s unplayable. I think you have a newer fixed version though…if you do, please upload it so I can review over this.

This is really fun, enjoyable and a great replacement for the original game, Mario. The enemies are a little bugged on the first level, but hey, destroy them with karate. I’m now thinking of a JJ2-Mario level where the ammo is disabled, that’d be something. Download recommended!

Plus: 50% from Interplay and 50% from Blizzard! :)))

It’s not fully stand-alone, but other than that, it’s very nice to play around with and helpfull to the active JCSers.

Finally you uploaded it..nice work!

Awesome program but I cant use it because I cant host a non-pinging server.

Things that are AWESOME:

The Kick\Ban option

The Shields

and

EVERYTHING ELSE!

AWESOME PROG Overlord.
