Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Introduction:
A disappointing arrangement of Technoir with some random sound effects thrown in for effect.(Which doesn’t help it at all.)

Song Analysis:
It’s Technoir. What else do you need to know? Nothing has been added(to Technoir’s theme), but a few things’ pitches have shifted dramatically.

Sample Analysis:
The samples hurt my ears. The trumpets in particular. Irritating as all get-out. The random sound effects also don’t add a darned thing to this arrangement.

Final Analysis:
Not worth the time to download. . .

Introduction:
Holidaius, sped up to about twice its normal tempo, and with some supposedly “unused” patterns added.

Song Analysis:
What was the point in increasing the tempo? Seriously? What was the point?

Final Analysis:
You didn’t need to speed it up at all. That made it sound terrible. And the new patterns weren’t worth unburying. No rating given for this one(seeing as it’s not his), but it’s not worth the download.

Introduction:
A remix of the Jazz Jackrabbit GBA title theme that sounds absolutely nothing like it’s supposed to.

Song Analysis:
This isn’t “Jazz Jackrabbit Advance” at all. I’ve heard the title theme playing about a million times due to me playing the game on Normal and Hard mode to unlock everything I could(GameFAQs mission, basically), and this. . .is not the Jazz Jackrabbit Advance theme song. At all. It sounds more like parts of Letni mixed with some original garbage than anything.

Sample Analysis:
The samples are alright, if not a little loud in some parts.

Final Analysis:
This is garbage if you’re looking for something Jazz Jackrabbit-related. Otherwise, it’s an alright piece of original music. I guess. . .

Introduction:
It’s Letni! But with bright trumpets and better drums. And that’s about it.

Song Analysis:
I noticed right away that the “bippity-beep” sounds are totally rearranged. They’re all over the place! Which works. The song itself isn’t all that rearranged, however, aside from the guitars in the middle.

Sample Analysis:
There’s also better drums and a new trumpet sample. And some guitars towards the middle. Nothing else is really new.

Final Analysis:
Not a bad arrangement, but certainly not the best.

Introduction:
Speed up and drums down, folks.

Song Analysis:
It’s Technoir! With a faster tempo and better drums! And that’s it! Whee!!

Sample Analysis:
The new samples work well enough with Technoir.

Final Analysis:
Technoir never sounded closer to the original than this. Not much of a remix at all. Hardly worth the time it took to download.

Introduction:
Hah! Medivo meets the Menu Song, and in a good way.

Song Analysis:
The song does what it promises by bringing Medivo to the Menu Song. And it sounds really good, too. It’s a little empty in some places, but nothing too huge.

Sample Analysis:
The samples are of the original samples from the two songs and seem to work well together.

Final Analysis:
Download this song for the novelty of it. It’s a cute song.

Introduction:
A. . .very nice metal arrangement of Diamondus. I’m surprised.

Song Analysis:
There are a couple of bad notes here and there, and in parts, the drums freak out, but otherwise, this works, and works very well! You should be proud!

Sample Analysis:
The samples do their job exceedingly well in this arrangement.

Final Analysis:
This was so worth the download. I’m glad I got to hear this. Download it if you’re a fan of heavy metal, folks.

Introduction:
Diamondus slowed down to a crawl with some birdy samples added in just for fun.

Song Analysis:
Nothing much to say about this song, considering it’s just Diamondus at 1/5 its normal tempo.

Sample Analysis:
I hate the bird samples. I don’t care much for the rest of the samples, either. But they work well enough.

Final Analysis:
Eh. . . It’s okay, but it’s just a sample-swap/tempo-drop. . .

Introduction:
Slugion being reduntant to the first syllable of its name. And not in a good way.

Song Analysis:
At this slow tempo, the song sounds broken and damaged. More so than the common S3M rips would have you figure.

Sample Analysis:
Oh god, my ears!! No! The samples do not work for this song! Period!

Final Analysis:
Please don’t ever make these again. Thank you.

Introduction:
Another sample-swap/tempo-drop song. Geezus. This one actually sounds almost acceptable, however.

Song Analysis:
Nipius. Slowed down to a crawl.

Sample Analysis:
Oddly enough, the samples in this “sleepy arrangement” actually do seem to work for once.

Final Analysis:
Worth the download, oddly enough. However, still far from being worthy of a high score.
(Unsupported rating (2.2) removal. I am unable to turn the words you wrote into the rating you gave. Your criticism seems to be that it’s slowed down… how does that translate into a 2.2? ~Violet)

. . . This isn’t even worth my time to review. What. . .the. . .@!#&? Let’s just cut to the chase.

Introduction:
Jungrock never sounded so weak and pathetic. Someone hand me a gun, here. Lemme put this whimpering beast out of its misery.

Song Analysis:
I’ll be short. This is another sample-swap/tempo-drop song. And it does not work. Period.

Final Analysis:
No. No, no, no.

Introduction:
A horrible attempt at the Jazz Jackrabbit ending theme which ends up sounding absolutely nothing like it was meant to.

Song Analysis:
A simple sample change caused this song to mutate into some form of mutant windchimes. Seriously. That’s all I can say about this. Oh, and the tempo died.

Sample Analysis:
I have no idea what you were going for here, but the samples chosen do not work for this song. Period.

Final Analysis:
So. . .garbage. . .

Holy crap, Danyjel. . . You had something with this one. But then. . .you had to use crappy drums and try and add in the Jazz Jackrabbit main theme without trying to change the notes at all. You have crushed my hopes for you. Get out. Get out now.

Introduction:
An arrangement of the Jazz Jackrabbit 3D title theme which quickly turns rancid. I am so disappointed. . .

Song Analysis:
This song started off so beautifully. . . The little piano thing from the end of Jazz 3D‘s title theme works maverlously in piano. But the way you decided to the rest of the Jazz theme is a sheer disappointment. . . It just does not sound good as it is at all. Do something with that, and maybe you’ll have a winner on your hands.

Sample Analysis:
The piano samples work perfectly. However. . . I. Hate. Those. Drums. Either add in closed and opened hi-hats, or remove the drums entirely.

Final Analysis:
As I said, this is a disappointment. A lot of potential, this one had. But it quickly disintegrates when we hit the Jazz main title theme. . .
Download this, folks. It’s beautiful. . . For the most part. . .

Okay. Before I get into the review, let me just be not the first, nor the last, to make a request. Stop. Arranging. Tube-freaking Electonic already!!! That goes for the rest of you people, too! I can see why Violet gets so irritated. . .

Introduction:
A weak version of Tubelectric, the single-most arranged piece of music in the history of Jazz Jackrabbit.

Song Analysis:
Boring. Tubelectric as it’s always sounded, pattern-wise. Nothing has changed at all. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think this might even just be a simple pattern shifting and sample replacement.

Sample Analysis:
The samples used are good enough. A little annoying during some of the more complex parts, but otherwise fine.

Final Analysis:
Not worth a download, much less 162.(At the time of writing this.)

Introduction:
Truly a pitiful attempt at Technoir.

Song Analysis:
I think JelZe said a lot of what I was going to say, but I’d like to add that this song is far to repetitious for its own good. This makes the song boring.

Sample Analysis:
I don’t like the samples. The drums are weak, the samples from the original song sound a little out of rank with the new samples, and that flute. . . That flute. . . Egad, man. Yuck.

Final Analysis:
Not. . .worth. . .the time it took. . .to download. . .

Introduction:
A bit of original piano playing in the begin, some Tubelectric thrown in, and an overall decent arrangement, even though it blurs all together after a short while.

Song Analysis:
The arrangement is very good, actually. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this, but. . .

Sample Analysis:
The samples really hurt the song. As mentioned above, the selection of samples used blur together far too well. It’s very difficult to decipher what notes are being played at what time a lot of the time. . . The samples themselves are alright, though. Except the drums. I hate the drums.

Final Analysis:
If this had better samples — a wider variety, and such — then this could be a phenominal arrangement. Or at least pretty freaking sweet. But it’s just average, thanks to the blurred pianos, and the drums. . . Bummer.
Download this. It’s not a waste of time by any means.

Special Notice:
You just got a new high score from me. =P

Introduction:
A pretty solid, but average arrangement of the Jazz Jackrabbit theme which sounds a little like it could be from a Double Dragon game.

Song Analysis:
Bits and pieces from all three Jazz Jackrabbit PC themes(Jazz, Jazz 2, and Jazz 3D) comprise this theme. It’s kind of an upbeat sort of arrangement which ends on a high note.(Positive, not literally high-pitched.) I have no real qualms with this song, but it doesn’t really impress me, personally.

Sample Analysis:
The samples intertwine to create up-beat and moderate energy beats and rhythms. That’s about all I have to say about that.

Final Analysis:
Not his best work, but far from his worst. Go ahead and download this if you want a decent titler arrangement.

To Violet CLM:
Because we have you. :3

Introduction:
Tubelectric. Again. This time, sped up and done in a pseudo-electronica style.

Song Analysis:
This song just starts off way too slow. . . Constant drums for, like, a minute and twenty seconds. . .then a barely audible bassline from there until 1:42ish. More baseline for a few more seconds. . .drums. . .Tubelectric melody. . .beat break at 2:50. . . More Tubelectric. Then finally! We get somewhere around 3:31! Unfortunately, it sounds average. Then we go back down to being quiet after that. Finally, back around to a rearrangement of some previously played stuff. And this goes on until the end. It’s pretty dull for an “Electronica” arrangement.

Sample Analysis:
The samples serve their purposes to the end, in this music. Not much else to say about that.

Final Analysis:
This is worth a download if you need some sort of background noise that isn’t going to offend anyone. It’s ten minutes long, repeatitive, and not terrible. But also not great.

Introduction:
Turtemple, plus jingle bells and a breakbeat.

Song Analysis:
Rather bland if you ask me. . . Repeats itself far too often and sounds a lot like the “Turtemple Remix” by Silver Fox J, but far more clashing. Not enough to hurt the ears, but enough to hurt the song itself. I like the pitch raise around 3:02.

Sample Analysis:
The samples work well enough, but the keys they’re in do not.

Final Analysis:
This is an alright download if you can ignore the clashing notes. Definately not the best work this guy has to offer, though.

Introduction:
Carol of the Bells, staticy and grainy. . .which leads into a really bad-sounding Candion arrangement.

Song Analysis:
Ho. . .ly. . .crap. Is there anything in this song that isn’t out of freaking key?! Geezus Saint Nicholos. What could have been an acceptable arrangement/sample-swap quickly turned into an off-key piece of crap.

Sample Analysis:
The new samples work, but the key they’re in do not.

Final Analysis:
This is not worth a download.
