Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

This is the sort of thing that should not be rated. Only good hotels should be rated, not hotels featuring TV shows. There is a JJ2 game featuring Dragonball Z.

Also, Yay! I now have the Pokemon theme.

I took a quick look at it… most of it seems to be copied from my ‘BossRushMode’ too… >O

I can’t rate this level coz there’s NO EXIT. How am I supposed to finish the level without the exit?
The Pokemon music was great though. Tilesets were OK. Could do better.
There were LOADS of weapons but TNT and Launchers are really no use in this level.

EDIT: Sorry I didn’t know what a Hotel level was. Next time I’ll remember that there isn’t an exit.

I think it’s a good tileset for someone who has never made one before. It’s got the stars for the background, ships to stage battles, and has other good tiles that could be used for any story line.
I think this is a great tile set, but it could use some fire, and some more detiled tiles that a creater would need.

Woah, a COLOSSAL set. I’ll shorten the review in a few pro/con points

Pros:

-The set is huge, offering a wide variety of tiles enabling the user to be able to express their creativity in a large variety of ways. Definite Pro.
-A LOT of animations, to prevent areas from getting boring.
-Beautiful tiles and good atmosphere (great creative backround, mood etc.)
-Really nice tile combinations you can use to make great looking areas, the huge Example level is a great way to see this in action.
-As stated in the description, you really can build a nice looking paradise with this :D

Cons:
-Huge huge set, meaning that to find the tile youre looking for you have to scroll through almost 3200 other tiles!
-The set is too red. I’m not really going to deduct much because of this, because in my opinion the red gives it a certain feel, and making tiles other colors would make them stand out and not look too good. While the red doesn’t look atrocious or anything, it could get repetetive and boring after a while.
-Some tiles could be better drawn

This is one of those files that making up your mind on a rating for them is quite difficult. On one hand, the tileset is a masterpeice with almost 3200 tiles and you can build amazing things with it. On the other, its incredibly huge and I’d imagine it would be very tedious to work with. Although you suceeded in offering levelmakers a HUGE amount of ways to express creativity and make a lot of unique levels with this tileset, achieving that came with a price of the tileset being extremely time consuming and large and will probably scare off many little children as they look at it in JCS. But the huge amount of work put into it can’t be overshadowed by that, and thus I’m giving this tileset a 9.5.

Although this is a really wonderful tileset, because of its huge size I don’t think it’ll be used for too many levels because of the amount of work it would take to use this. Despite that, everyone should check out the set and play through the example levels, or you will be missing out on a rather unique experience. That said, this definately receives a download reccomendation.

A long overdue review to a deserving tileset.

To start off the review, this set just demonstrates that Blade keeps getting better. I love the atmosphere the tileset is able to provide and the cartoonish appearance of it. There are many tiles provided for some spiffy eyecandy (posters on fences, stuff buried in the ground (although I would question the sanity of anyone deciding to bury a SHOVEL)) and you can make some nice things with it. The tileset is fairly straightforward and easy to use. Some tile placements may daunt you a bit, but you can quickly learn how to use all parts of the set properly. Poles, destruct blocks, tubes, hooks, everything is included in the set, even pools enabling water (although I personally would only accompany those tiles with Water Blocks). The masking is nicely done, although I have a personal dislike for really tight tubes and crawling into them in jj2 =P. Oh, and I also really like the backround and the way it is made, it really does remind me of a calm night in a park located near a big city.

Overall, this is a really good set and I wouldn’t be surprised to see several levels using it. The zip even comes with a nice, quick single player level which is not only enjoyable but also shows off the set. The only thing preventing me from rating this higher is that because of the cartoonish way Blade approached the set in, it doesn’t have as many details as other tilesets like 7th lava fall or Egypt. Nonetheless, it is a great set and definately worth the download

Edit: On second thought, i’m upgrading the rating by a bit because I’ve looked back and I think the set deserves it. GG.

Oh, hellz yes. I can’t tell you how long I’ve been waiting for this level. Even my pet loves this level!

But why is it so good? Let’s check the facts people:

First of all, the level design is amazing. I really felt like I was exploring a Pikachu City. I stood in awe at the Giant Pikachu Statue, I was msytified by the mysterious Burger Pyramid, and I chatted it up at the Market place. Toss out QoB, THIS is how to make an amazing level design, folks!

Next, the placement is very innovative. Everything is placed in stores ran by Pikachus. But that’s not the innovative part. Here’s the innovative part: There’s even a secret store only accesible by Jet boards. Looks like those Frequent Flyer Miles paid off!

Finally, this Hotel is amazing. It can be played as battle, or can be used to role play a typical day in a pokemon music. Both experiences are enhanced by the grand music selection.

Good Work Donda, Download Reccomended

EDIT- Help me, I am being oppressed. Please fight for people’s real opinions not false ones.

Please also don’t take what was said in my edit seriously.

I’m not very good at rating music, so I normally don’t. However, this tune really caught me. It’s very catchy, I’m listening to it over and over the whole time. It makes me want to play JJ2 too (too bad I can’t, now that my sister’s pc is broken). I have not a lot more to say, other than that n00b is right about the ending.

Good work, and a download recommendation.

this remix is great, really good espeicelly the way that the castle tune sounds in funky style. this remix is defenetly one of the best remixes made with the castle tune. the style of this remix reminds me of the city in jazz tsf and i think this tune will be perfect for levels made with the city tileset. i have no complains about this remix and i don“t realy understand the structure of a song or how to analyze it but i can say that this remix is in no doubt one of the best i heard. i hope that Fear Of Dark will continue make this outstanding remixes but till the next tune enjoy this one. by the way……. i recommand this download very, very much.

Hey, can you provide the link to the music?
Then I’ll review.

This remix is very superb, however I dislike the speedy opening, which intially turned me off about this remix. This feeling changed a little ways in when the song’s pacing slows a bit. FearofDark has not only managed into turning Castle into a considerabbly good Funk tune, he has also managed to add in an electric gutair solo. The remix sounds and feels brillaint except for one other gripe I have with the remix: The ending. It’s far too slow, especially when compared to the speedy opening. Otherwise, good job on capturing the funk spirit.

Devan stories are only interesting when they are like The Invasion Of Deserto.

Also, some people can’t help it if their levels are 1.24 because they don’t have 1.23.

OK, I ll start what i dis like.. The Levels lack in eyecandy, the environment looks a bit dead. in the beach lvl there are some mistakes with the background layer. I also dislike the:“Press JJK” traps, starts to annoy you. You have some funny riddles although no real explanation what to do. e.g. tell the people to collect the ammo or that the 4:”!” are to type in a code, what about the level where you have to follow the rocks to find the spaceship.And the pack is pretty short. The player is a bit lost.
The enemies are set well and fit to the tileset.
What I do like is the story. I mean comon Crimiclown, what else then a devan pack. he is the big badguy and will try to defeat jj over and over again :). The story here is new, the waterspout. You have some funny ideas: the airboard level, I think it s cool as you are not bound that much to a strict way.

Overall I think a lot could be improved but you have a basic and now how to build levels. Just go a bit deeper.

OH My GOD!!!!! How on earth did you impress me so much??!!

Here’s your review-

Story

A better story had never existed. Congrats! 9/10

Eyecandy

Every little wee detail was added! Also, I love your “powerdown” affect on the V.I.P cell area! 10/10

Gameplay

Quite confusing for the most of it, but secrets, enemies, food, and puzzles were perfectly placed! 9/10

Music

It really feels like your IN the space station, or, on a speeding rocket fleet! 10/10

Sound

Not many sound effects used, but when they were used, they were definitely used properly! 9/10

Cutscenes

You make the best cutscenes! It’s so realistic, with amazingly cool effects! 10/10

Bonuses

I’d give you 2 extra points for your cutscenes and special effects.

Too bad there isn’t such a rating as 10.5!!!

Download: Yes Yes Yes Yes YES!!!

No! Not another ‘Devan’ pack… I refuse to play… No offence, but BE MORE ORIGINAL! >:(

Can you get someone else OTHER than yourself to beta test it?

If you won’t even take that piece of advice I seriously don’t see you improving, and I honestly am getting tired of mediocre pack after medicore pack.

EDIT- Ischa has been releasing TSF levels for over 4 months now. You two are incredibly late in noticing that these packs are in 1.24.

Can’t you just make it in 1.23?
All people got 1.20 at TSF, right?

N00b: I allready know he makes TSF levels im just complaining about it so he might read this this time.

How can we have fun if it’s for TSF?
Also, as Ischa’s other level packs, this pack also has a story very similar to the official one: defeat Devan.
