Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Rating Voltage Village:

Plus:
Nice background.

Min:
You can complete the level in no time, there are some bugs and the placements are not good. The enemy-placement is bad and the bonus-placement is also bad.
The worst thing from the Bonus-placement is the coin-secret at the end of the level. The bird is useless, because you will not have it anymore in a next level. (in JJ1 you will have it)

Conclusion:
Worse level, but there is at least one plus, so this is no 1,0. But I can’t call this a Download Recommendation.

Mark: 1,6
Download recommendation: NO!

( but the gameplay is bad so the Ammo is bad placed.)
Thats not true.
The Ammo can be well placed why the gameplay sux.
And I included the title sets because they are just a must have.

Hm…this got uploaded rather quietly (that or I havent been checking my email, heh), but it’s about time this got released, since it’s pretty old now (I tested it a WHILE ago) =P.

Anyways, since J2O currently lacks active reviewers and I dont want to study for an upcoming math exam I’ll review this instead, I guess.

Basically, Biowinter is pretty much a typical winter tileset with some interesting and creative additions, but nothing really outstanding or jawdropping. Some things like the brown ground look kinda nice, and others like the snow need more detail as it’s just white. The set also needs more color variety still, imo, because seeing brown and white everywhere, with the occasional green, gets kinda boring.

On a more positive note, there’s a number of things in this set that I like. The cool crumbling scenery of the snow on the pine trees is original and I like it, the spaz animation is pretty funny, and the figures frozen in ice are creative and cool, among other things. There’s even a text sign with my name on it ;).

The set functions pretty well and is quite userfriendly. One thing I still don’t like is the ripped tiles in it though. The castle from carrotus, the spikes from inferno, it wouldve been better if you hadn’t taken the lazy way out and instead drew them yourself =\.

Otherwise, this tileset is what I consider a mixed bag kinda. There’s a bunch of things that could be improved a lot, but there are also a lot of creative things and the set is by no means bad.

Perhaps more detail on certain aspects of the set, a larger landscape variety, more colors and redrawing the ripped tiles would greatly improve this tileset, but for now I think I’m going to rate this a 7.4.

Some creative and original ideas here, and the set can be used pretty easily, but there’s a lot of room for improvement. I’d give this a download reccomendation because some of the tricks Bio used in the set kinda inspired me in certain ways.

Hey

Eyecandy

There is’t much eyecandy. Next time use all the layers (And edit the BG more with colours). It’s quite boring playing in this level, mayby the eyecandy will cheer the level up a bit more. Try to place some more eyecandy and reupload it.

Gameplay

The gameplay sucks, no offense but… Why did you placed some V-Poll tiles and you did’t placed any V-Poll event?

And it’s really spaz based. And there is’t any flow. It’s more like running running running (picking up ammo) running running..

Ammo

I missed some ammo, but the gameplay is bad so the Ammo is bad placed.

4.2

And, why did you included all the three sets?

Hey!

Somehow i like the level in some way :O!

Eyecandy

There answer is at the other review’s. It’s very bad, try to use all the layers in different ways.

Gameplay

Very bad, at the beginning you will get stuck (sometimes).

There’s is’t much flow or any fun stuff

Ammo

Is there ammo in the lvl?

5.0

[Unsupported (5.0) rating removal. You provided no reasons why you liked the level at all – FQuist]

Not bad, but that labirinth…

[Unsupported (5.) rating removal. Please give proper reasons for your rating when reviewing a level. Five words is not enough. – FQuist]

Sorry but I dont like your level. First:

Eyecandy- bad, bad, bad. I would give 3 but the background looks nice, so… 5

Gameplay- boring. just boring.
… and sometimes I was annoyed. Too many enemies, too many X and Y poles, too many goodies. BUT your lev is quite interesting. 4

But don’t give up! ;-)

I working on to create a good level, but this is my 3rd level…
If you look my first two levels…

Ugh… No. Just no. The eyecandy is a mess, the place is overenemied, and there are too many bugs in the level. In addition to this, the exit is too hard to get too and there are too many powerups. I suggest running away, feeble downloaders.

Hahaa, I have got justice.

Of course I have plans for Jazz X3, but I don’t tell ‘em because they are TOP SECRET.

Rating The Rebirth of Evil:

Before I start rating… this is my 100th rating! That means a new rank: I’m a Jazz Jackrabbit now!

But all right, the rating.

Plus:
The levels are hard. And long. Filled with puzzles, enemies and traps.
Also the story is great. It is a good sequel on ‘The Invasion of Deserto’. And there are lots of different levels and the filesize is just 199.42 small kb! There is nothing to complain about.

Minus:
N/A

Conclusion:
Every fan from Jazz Jackrabbit really should play this pack! It is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo amazingly super that I can’t give you even a 9,9.
It is a big, fat 10! What is better than give a well-deserved 10 on your 100th rating?

Mark: 10,0
Download recommendation: YES, OF COURSE

Rating Orbilectric:

Plus:
For a Orbitus-level is this a very fit song. While I thought first it is just the orginal Orbitus-song (in that case this worth a 1) I was wrong. When the song plays 1:49, also some instruments from Tubelectric starts playing. Extremely good. This song is also extremely long: 5:23.

Minus:
No wrong things.

Conclusion:
For everyone that want to create an Orbitus-level this is the best choice.
Only one thing, no one song is perfect.
So, this is a 9,9 and absolute a download recommendation.

Mark: 9,9
Download recommendation: YES!
(Unsupported rating removal. How do Tubelectric instruments and a length of 5:23 justify a rating of 9.9? Are Tubelectric instruments an inherently good thing? Why? Is it not an issue that nearly the first two minutes of the song are unedited? ~Violet)

ANSWER:
You have made a mistake. There are really differences at the first two minutes.

*The drums start later and on another order. In real Orbitus-music is that not the case.

*Dude-dude-dude at the begin last longer

*Just before the two minutes hear you also instruments of Tubelectric. In real Orbitus-music is that also not the case

So, there are really differences. I’ve putted back my 9,9.

No download?

Ravvage of Crysilis

Plus:
This song is clear one about Crysilis. And it is not short: 4:54 minutes.

Minus:
The doesn’t have the atmosphere from Crystilis. Good music-instruments for a song about Crysilis are: a piano or a harp. This one is more futuristic.

Conclusion:
If you want to create a pinball-level, this music is OK, but it is not fit for a level on Crysilis.

Mark: 5,0
Download recommendation: NO!

[Unsupported rating (5.0) removal. Using a mood you don’t appreciate/instruments you do not like is not enough grounds for rating like this. – FQuist]

Alright! Arti is back :D!

Eyecandy

There is enough eyecandy, i like the secret tubes (are they secret?) The 0 and 1 numbers are cool, and the BG can use some green stuff.

Gameplay

It’s smooth, fun, and easy to play in! You can just hold on shift and run in different ways!

I like the sucker tubes, and the error thingy is awsome! :)

Ammo

I missed some power ups, but the rest is fine placed. Awsome sound effects and great bumps.

The carrots are well placed, but mayby some more?

Overall: Nice level and great to host sometimes!

8.0! Well done!

Rating Ilu’z Jazz X2: Flash from the past

Plus:
Level 2 is new.

Minus:
The levels are short. The boss-area’s were too hard and in the fifth level Bubba jumps out of the game. There are also levels ripped from Jazz X1 and the episode has a bad ending.

Conclusion:
While your first episode was OK, this one is an international disaster. If there is a sequel from ‘Ilu’z Jazz X2: Flash from the past’ is I’ll change the rating. But as long there is no sequel, this episode is no download recommendation.

Final Rating: 2,0
Download recommendation: NO!

[Unsupported rating (2.0) removal. You really cannot go around giving levels low ratings because they were used in other packs too. You need to rate the quality of the levels, not wether they were published before. – FQuist]

Rating Jazz X: the Future incident

Good:
A good episode. With a good number of bonusses and secrets the bonus-placement is super. Also a good eyecandy. This episode is also very long: 22 levels!

Not good:
Bosses are only in the first levels, in the rest of the game are no bosses at all. The story is also not clear and some levels are very easy.

Conclusion:
Ilu’z Jazz X: the Future incident is a good episode. But there were some things that could be better.

Final Rating: 6,0
Download recommendation: N/A (requires a 7½)

White Manse:

Rating:
It is a good tune. White Manse is another Castle Remix. It is very clear that this tune is a remix from the classic JJ2-castle-tune.

But there are also problems with this tune: The lead sample is too quiet, too inexpressive… and not very medival…

Conclusion:
It is a fair Castle Remix, but not enough for a sufficient.

Rating: 4,8
Download recommendation: NO!

[Unsupported rating (4.8). It is not made clear why this deserves a low rating, besides one comment about the sample. I was convinced that this was indeed unsupported. (No, the trolling didn’t do that.) – FQuist]

the minimized level change owns sooo much

the port change is ok

the last thing seems just weird and not very useful

this amp rapes your ears. and no, it’s not funk.it’s more funk rock. with a ‘sax’ sounding more like a horrible bröl
