Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Not much to say about this remix, I’ll try and make this a detailed review…

The biggest problem by far is that none of the samples are in tune with each other, and in any song, that sounds awful and shows a lack of listening skills to what you have remixed (although TIMM may have just gotten away with it with thier orbitus remix, but it’s still a bad thing). This problem is made even worse, as most of the samples kept are from the original castle song anyway. In fact, all that has been done here is a change in one of the samples and some swapping around of all the patterns (which, in turn has also completely ruined the structure of the song). Oh, and one of the ends of the pattern is cut off, but that’s about it.

RATING: 1.9
DOWNLOAD?: I think not. Unless some drastic improvements, tracking skills and a lot more effort is put into any further remixes, I (with regret) don’t think music is for you.

This is a level, how?
All I see is one platform with NO EVENTS used at all.
This looks like it was made in about 2 minutes.
Only Layer 4 has been used. There is nothing in Layers 1-3 & 5-8.
I see this marked as Battle but how would 16 players play in this “level?”
I can not award any more than a 1.0

Sean Paul?!
Anyway, I listened to this song and my first thought was “Wow. Holy cow, wow.” And I mean it too—This is the best (and I believe the only) remix of Scraparap I have yet heard. It is basically an electronic/technological remix of Scraparap, with many of the old instruments and some new ones too.
Some nice rhythms going there, though I was quite sad to not hear the awesome string part for the orig song—That really defined Scrappy, although the drums do too. The basic lines are tweaked just enough to give you a good feel, and it came out pretty darn well. I’d have to say a 7.6 and a definite DL rec.

I’d like to do a collab song with you sometime. Send me a line when you are available to.

wooooow!!!
A sp lvl that is kinda bad actually….
Eyecandy is nasty!
Music is inadequate…drq_heat does not fit diamondus, orbitus dosen’t fit carrotus etc
THE 2ND LEVEL’S tileset is awful.
Gameplay was easy…at least it was playable..
Pikups:BAD only 3 weapons in the whole game.
Boss:Typpically:Devan!
score:poor
short levels etc
rating 4.0 with no dl rec

I don’t really see the point of this. I always though that castle was an easy tileset to use and I think this just makes it harder. I’m not going to give a rating, but I think this is a harder tileset to use the the original castle.

cool remix! The intro is it’s a bit forced if you know what i mean
But the rest is ok.
9.5 +dl rec

COOL REMIX!!! LiKe It VeRy MuCh!
MuSt HaVe!!!

WOOOOOW!!!
It’s a good tileset but it’s kinda hurting the eye…

Darn, I was misslead into thinking that this was going to be a scraparap remix of Sean Paul (which by the way somebody should so do). I wasn’t dissapointed with what I heard, however…

This supposed scraparap remix is not like many of the other remixes on this site. It is almost a complete composition with just a few elements of scraparap remaining (like the drums and parts of the melody), instead of your standard Jazz 1 remix which will just take parts of the song, change the samples and re-arange a few parts. More importantly, everything sounds in tune and the samples go very well with each other, and I love the different phrases of the song.

My only complaints are that something needs to be done with the ending (it feels a bit incomplete) and the structure is a bit hard to recognise sometimes and it is a bit repetitive.

FINAL RATING: 8.0
DOWNLOAD?: I think the rating says it all. This song would go great with somekind of poisonous android toxic ice level.

EDIT: Repetitiveness isn’t really a huge problem, but in my opinion, there are just a couple of sections like at around 0:30 that repeat a bit too often (also at 3:00 to 3:20 and again towards the end). This was really just a minor poke.

A GoOd LeVeL!

Exactly how i like to play levels.

Eyecandy was good I got stuck 1 time but got out of there (not using jjk)an i won’t deduct.It happends…

Background was good. i felt like i was in ancient ruins and others.

PLACEMENTS
Enemy Placement was good.
I don’t know if you placed things in hard mode , but it was very challenging!I got killed once.

Goodie Placement was great.
I had kinda 5 sugar rushes in all lvls

Coin placement In every level were 50-50 and something coins which means you had a lot to search.That’s good

Ammo Placement was good only you’ve placed too many crates.

Gameplay was VERY GOOD!!!Nothing to complain about

Long Levels? Yes.. They were long and had obstacles.

Uterus: Uterus in Ea10! Great! almost no lvls have uterus

THE MUSIC
All the music fitted to the level, drq_heat tune was great, so, in conclusion I LiKeD ThEm!

Fun? OOOO Of course! I had a lot of fun playing it!
Score:Great

DL rec!! Yeah! DL NOW!
Rating:9,7
Happy Easter!!

As plunK says
yea its very cool music and yea Techno No Respect :p
This not slow I like this very much…
uhm… and FawFul Good Job :]

actually.. if you ask me if it’s necessary then i say yes of course. i like feedback. and i want to know if it made differences. i mean.. did it annoy you the first moment, is it fixed. could it still be better. etc.

so necessary? i wouldn’t call it like that. but i would really appreciate if you do.

Notice: This review applies to v1 of the song. v2 is nowhere to be found, it seems, as the version uploaded here is still the original, unmodified music file…

==================Simple Review==================
Base Score: 5/10
(Edit: When I say “Base Score”, I mean that ALL files I review start out with 5 out of 10 points. In this, some files can get average scores by having no positive or negative points, or an equal amount of both.)

Point Bonuses: +3
[+2] Strong start, pretty good body, decent finish!
[+1] Reminds me of the “Enigma” table from Epic Pinball as well as other classic Epic games such as Unreal. (Not so much Tyrian, though.)
[+0] Doesn’t suck! :D

Point Deductions: -1
[-1] Slightly repetitive…
[-0] Doesn’t quite loop, but it’s nothing worth getting in a huff over.

Final Score: 7/10

=================Extended Review=================
Introduction:
Serious remix is serious. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is a serious remix of Episode 3, World 2: “Scraparap”.

Song Analysis:
The song is a very well-constructed remix of Scraparap’s theme, as I’ve said. The artist really thought outside the box on this one, not limiting himself to the simple, repetitive tune we all remember. Instead, he expanded upon it, indeed creating an entirely new experience while keeping just enough of the old tune recognizable.

Sample Analysis:
Not much to say about the samples other than they’re crystal clear and mix very well together.

Final Analysis:
Just when I was getting bored of the bippy-bip-bop-etc.-etc., it cuts out at 1:53 and goes into a kind of quiet melody for a while. I really liked that. And honestly, I like the song itself! Quite a bit! I think anyone who liked the original Scraparap tune is going to be pleasantly surprised by this remix.

Very nice, very catchy i like this alot. Keep up the good work

it’s just somewhat amazing snooze can think off thinks over and over again. like many people say the warps are annoying.i have nothing against it. just only that it should provide more start positions. the left is spammed with players mostly. and the not masking surrounding makes people stand outside the map withouth getting hit. but it r veri GUD

they are okay.. but i haven’t got a clue where to use them for :P. i just think it’s a bit useless. and converting isn’t really something where skills are needed.

Nice techno sounds and fast beats. GJ!

The tileset is nice but it’s just a color change.There isn’t anything new like snow for example.. And the example level is Tossted Salad whit this tileset
Sorry… but i won’t rate

Nice tune.It was a great mix! and i liked the guitar solo too but it was a fast opening and a slow ending.But you’ve managed to make a good Funk for Castle.
GoOd JoB!

Cool tileset! Must have it. DL NOW
