Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Next you should test can you ban the hax0rs out of your server ithout they coming to crash your server in next 15 minutes.

But really, this is useless. Go making a forum thread about this, posting these in here is just spamming >_>

(And by the way, rating 1.2 for the level.)

The short review:
You do not need 12 levels of bland arenas with bosses in them.
The long review:
You do not need 12 levels of bland arenas with bosses in them. With the exception of the Bubba level, all the arenas are little more than some ground, a boss, and some regenerating enemies. The difficulty comes not from the bosses but from the constantly regenerating enemies.
This is a waste of about 618 kb. Do not download it.

/Doesn’t really go indepth enough for my tastes, so I’m removing the rating -n00b/

Shadowrabbit, thats the dumbest question ever. Being 12 does not give you a license to be stupid, go check the JazzBuster’s email address and then check Ischa’s.

Anyways onto the review:
The whole Time Zone thing is not really the greatest feature ever, considering each time zone lasts one level and the only way to actually tell what zone you’re in is from the ever there “Credit Signs” in the start of each level.

And secondly, both Secret levels took me back to the ‘Press Fire’ scene. I’m not sure why. That makes two features utterly worthless. Now we move onto the gameplay. With the exception of the WW2 level(which is my favorite level out of the bunch) and the future level, every level is a fairly linear jumble of a mess. No level tells you your current objective, so figuring out how to leave becomes a tedious process of experimentation. This would have been fun if the levels weren’t so ho-hum, but since the levels are ho-hum you’ll have the tendency to skip levels. Theres also a sidequest of sorts of finding crates, an idea that sounds swell on paper, but falls flat because none of the levels feel like they can be explored past the main path. And when they do, you’ll more than likely pick the path to the end of the level instead of the secondary path. This is annoying, since in the caslte level there is a queen boss that you cannot run back from due to activeX events. The WW2 level is less linear, but suffers from a problem of being a bit too open. Same goes for the future level. The final playable level is just ripped from JJ2, and that ticks me off as nothing was changed except for a sign added to the begining. All in all, this pack should not be downloaded since anything that is given with it’s Left hand is taken away with it’s right.

Here’s my review!

Old Carrots:
The tileset didn’t really match the theme of the level.
You out Demons in. Note that demons didn’t exist in Pre-historic times, so that kinda ruined it.
The music was a good choice.
Not enough enemies.
Gameplay was basically kill all the baddies, destroy all the crates.
Very short.
SCORE: 3.7

Golden TNT:
The tileset sorta matched this time.
The music didn’t really match.
I branded this level a failure since I couldn’t warp to the puzzle.
1.9

Flight Might!:
I liked the music for this level. I’m not too sure it matched but it was good.
The textured background didn’t work but was still pretty.
Very large and I got lost the first time. The second time I got it, but it required extensive searching.
Very annoying since crows and bees come after you.
The eyecandy was average, maybe a bit above.
SCORE: 4.7

Frog Thunder:
Pretty good eyecandy. Ischa seems to get the hang of making good levels now.
Then I see a witch. And another one. And another one. Now the level seems to be a survivor test. Dodge the spells, go back to the start if you get hit… well, for a start the concept of that is a bit… let’s just say not very good. I was forced to use JJGOD to get through it all. Altho upon un-JJGODing I discovered how to beat them. Yay!
The music started off quite good but then I hear Medivo plonked in randomly. Yeurk. At least it isn’t too bad.
I didn’t like the disappearing bricks, they annoyed me and forced to cheat again, this time using JJFLY.
A little too big. Two of the crates were unreachable.
Now it’s getting WAY too large, same mistake as Old Carrots.
I come to the Queen. Hmmmm… this looks familiar… where have we seen this type of seen before? Why, of course, Knight Cap! Quite a rip-off you have there Your Majesty.
SCORE: 3.9

Future Frenzy:
Very good music, matches the level… grooves
The sucker chain was kind of pointless, but then I noticed they move in a chain.
I liked the MCE use of the buttstomping Jazz. Especially since it counts as an enemy and dances.
Had to use JJFLY and JJNOWALL to get up the top. Also the copters are non-Lori-friendly, did you know?
But in the end I gave up. I saw no point in the level at all other than to show that the level maker’s gotten slightly better. I failed this level.
SCORE: 1.2

Bad Pitt:
JJ2 Bad Pitt rip-off.
SCORE: -2

NOTES: Not very Lori-friendly (which makes me mad as I’m a Lori user), nice music, gameplay concept not too good, very basic.

PROS:
Nice music choices. +3

CONS:
Too short. –4
Bad gameplay. –5
Lori-unfriendly. –3

So, let’s see… 3.7 + 1.9 = 5.6 + 4.7 = 10.3 + 3.9 = 14.2 + 1.2 = 15.4 – 2 = 13.2, so that’s the level score.
Add the pros, 13.2 + 3 = 16.2, and take away the cons, 16.2 – 4 = 12.2 – 5 = 7.2, – 3 = 4.2, round it off to a JCF and it’s still 4.2.
OVERALL SCORE = 4.2. Not too bad, very good for a beginner (if you are one).
DOWNLOAD RECOMMENDATION: Unfortunately in my ratings it takes a fairly good score to get a DR, like around 5-6, so I must say no unless you want some tilesets and good music.

Bonusses: SUPER (not too less, not to much)

Gameplay: SUPER (is very good too)

I wouldn’t say the songs were THAT bad.

Crysilis wasn’t good. It’s not that it wasn’t badly made it just dosn’t get the listiners attitions to listin though out all 4 mins.

Guitarap I agree on fully, it’s way to plane. It needs more sounds going on at once, and what was up with the hole” Brought to u by” something something, we all know who it is brought by we don’t need to be told again.

Now Deckstar was good I thought. If there wasn’t that static in the begining and end I would say it may be usable in levels. But ya the static lost you alots of points with that one.

It sounds like you want to make songs for the sake of just making songs. When you make songs they need to be appiling to your listiners. Some people just can’t songs. Dr. Eggman can make songs, I can’t make songs, and from the sounds of it you may be able to make songs if you concetrate more on what you want your listiners to do with the songs(like use them in other game).

What RedJazz said, so that proves this myth confirm pointless.

Rating Goblens Lair

RATING TILESET: It’s a classic JJ2-tileset!
RATING: 3.0

RATING MUSIC: It’s classic JJ2-music, but better than nothing.
RATING: 3.3

RATING OBSTACLES: The level is hard, but not each enemy is good chosen. Example: a monkey in a castle? (nearly the boss)
RATING: 6.8

RATING GOODIES: So-so. Too much extra lives, but the rest is OK.
RATING: 6.5

RATING FUN: I agree with your level-description: It is long and difficult.
RATING: 8.0

FINAL RATING: 5.5

Nothing to do, just beat some blue ghosts, and a boss. Nothing else. The idea of the roller coaster is very good, i know the idea isn’t the author’s but there’s not much to review except the idea.

It tells you in Rabbit in training level (Episode 1, Easy only):
Red gems are worth as one gem.
Green gems are worth as five gems.
Blue gems are worth as ten gems.

Oh, btw, green gems are worth 5 gems in all modes, but I perhaps you can work out why Violet specifically asked to test it in Treasure Mode.

I do hope you realize that Violet was joking. I would think that this goes for granted, but apparently you lack the intelect to realize this.

Could you go test the myth that green gems are worth five red gems in Treasure Hunt mode?

Seriously, there isn’t much point to this one. Yes, we know. Wasn’t the original “Did you know?” enough?
P.S. You mean 1×1000, not 1000×1. Unless you fall and buttstomp horizontally.

Guys, they’re not myths: they’re proven facts. Try something undocumented for a change.

howtojcs does not refer to your being able to place water in a level and have it function in terms of gameplay. It is speaking of tilesets in which water will not look good, not being assigned a proper palette gradient, when playing in 8-bit color mode. Thanks for trying, but perhaps in the future, check with someone else that you have the right understanding of something before acting on it.

So Cruk…
You have done it with very nice style :)
7.0 from me, because of:

1. (+) Nice detuned saw sample
2. (+) My samples ;)
3. (+) Nice ideas with hihat channel (Heh I think you got it from my mods)
4. (-) Too long snare volume sliding… If it would be shorter then the dynamics would be better, but keep workin’

Keep rmxing, I can inspire you at next songs! :)

I recommend download this: some ppl who want to give up rmxing must see that music making is not as hard as they think… just hard work on it ;)

…. I think this is a …. FUCKING GOOD PAK!!!
This RLZ, i dont say more!
