Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

First of all: health warning: don’t try to save your game in the fifth or seventh level unless you enjoy tearing out your own hair (in other words: it will give an amnesia error). That being said, i’ll try giving an actual review.

I must say, i quite enjoyed this one. It’s a pack hard enough to keep you busy for several hours, yet it wasn’t insanely difficult. It’s a very nice combination of puzzles (lots of them) and combat (lots of it). Eyecandy looked rather good in all of the levels, at least i haven’t found any major flaws. Maybe the ammo is a bit too scarce for some players, but there’s enough of it to keep yourself alive in every situation.

I haven’t seen many glitches in this pack. The only i can think of is the lack of a next level setting in the Moria level, and a place where it’s possible to get trapped in that same level (mind you, there’s a bit of text to warn you).

Conclusion 1: yes, definitely worth the download.
Conclusion 2: Trafton needs a hobby.

This is one of the best packs i have ever come accross, although you need a fast PC to make them look prettier. I would thoroughly recommend this one, although it can take quite a long time. The music Throughout the pack is excellent, as is the placement of the stuff. It is best to play these when you have a lot of people, other wise they can get boring, if you only have something like 2 people on the server. I think that all of Blades’ tilesets looks exceptional, and these are no exception. The levels are very well laid out, and great fun to play…Excellent!

I HATED IT! IT ABSOLUTELY SUCKED!! Gotcha! (i’m terrible at jokes) Well, it was good, long enough…kind of easy in “dificîl” mode…I like it. You should of placed more “disperdo rapido” boosters…I’m giving this discusting game a 6! Oops, I rated it higher, so I have to think of some good exuses…um…Very fun, download this and…Yeah, very fun

Yes, I like carrots. :)

The level wasn’t good. When you jump into a secret, nothing is lying there! Not a very good gameplay, I came from base to base easly.

Normaliy I would given a 4, but it is a nice name of the level so it will be a 4.2. :)

I like this tilset (NOT):).

PUT THE TILESETS WITH THIS DOWNLOAD, BLADE!!!!!!!!!!![This review has been edited by wadledee]

My 200th review!

It’s fun to play, good use of brigdes and eyecandy. Good ways and it don’t get boring. Good placement of ammo, realy worth of download.

Reccomend for 2-5 players.

I did’nt like the level as much as the other reviewers did. There is a part when a text string says: Wich way now? If you go right or left, you’ll get killed. You have to fall and don’t move, there’s a warp. The puzzles are in my opinion to hard, make one mistake and it going to be a hard path. Good eyecandy, nice trees and stuff. Layer 3 is used well, as there are many secrets in the level. You have got to use layer 3 much. The background is basic, the same as the example level of the autor who made the tileset. (I think it was Disguise)

Some difficult enemies, to many and to less carrots. In overall it was sort of okay. ;)

Not interessting, almost no eyecandy. Or as Violet CLM said: These are bad levels. No download reccomend here. I think these are beginner levels and I’ll just leave it N/A’d.

This is the BETA of the tileset we are making for a level we are making. Its going to be a very big one and we’ll submit it if its finished(we are working on it since christmas :))

Don’t put demos on the site. Only put level on it when it is ready.

Make a new level and don’t steal things![This review has been edited by spazz]

Hmmm, a nice tileset.

Good gameplay, only a bit sort, good use of Sucker Tubes. But it doesn’t matter if it is small, as it not get’s boring. Very good eyecandy and dark paths. No realy secrets, to bad. You can get easely to the Power-ups. Put more ammo in it. Good ideas for a small level. Oh well download and see. :)

Put with the other autors Evilmike with it, he has made the tileset![This review has been edited by spazz]

Yeah, yet another great level by Martin!(I think I am fan of him! ;P)

The level is just great! It’s huge, many ways to go from base to base. The coins are well speaded over the level. The bonus warp reward: A full heal carrot and some fast fires. Very good gameplay, it realy doesn’t get boring, you can just do each time another way. The bad point is that the ammo placement is a bit… euh… spreaded. On some parts you can’t get very well to the ammo if you are Lori.

The eyecandy is just perfect, it’s difficult to build good eyecandy with this difficult tileset. To bad there isn’t a texured background, but okay, that doesn’t matter that much. Good generators, nice gameplay and stuff, you realy deserf a 8.7 almost a 9.

Please fix that next level setting, thank you.

Nice music choice…

GAMEPLAY:

It’s okay, good pinball stuff. And the secrets are well hidden, if there are any secrets because I coulnd find one! No strait paths and good use of Sucker Tubes. There is also a path when you fall.(That part with the destruct scenerys) When you fall, a warp will catch you and it will put you into another part of the level, that’s intersting. Only it’s a bit short if you ask me.

PROS: Good use of sucker tubes and it doen’t get boring.
CONS: A bit short.
RATING: 7.0

EYECANDY:

In the beginning the eyecandy was perfect, but when you walk further in the level, the eyecandy get’s worst and worst. Too bad. Some platform don’t have any eyecandy, only strait platforms. The background layers aren’t very well, look at the original levels of JJ2, your background must be like this, not percisly.

PROS: In the beginning the eyecandy was sort of good.
CONS: Background layers are ugly and if you walk further in the level it only get’s uglyer.
RATING: 5.2

ITEMS:

Not good enough. In that part when you battle lots of Skeletons, you don’t have enough ammo, but you can finish the level to the east, tough. Most of the time I only carried the blaster. You can get a bit of Bouncer ammo and some TNT and some Toaster ammo( Only 15 or 18 bullets…) I think there aren’t any save points in the level, and that makes it hard because there almost aren’t any carrots.

PROS: No.
CONS: Too much.
RATING: 3.2

ENEMIES:

Some strange enemies for a Tubelelectirc level, some Skeletons, and much of them. If have setted the game difficulty on hard and many Turtles and Sparks will come. So to many enemies, at some point many and at some point less.

PROS: Not realy.
CONS: I don’t know how many enemies you’ll face if you set the game difficulty on hard.
RATING: 5.5

EASY, MEDIUM OR HARD?:

Hmmm… easy to medium, in the middle. It get’s difficult because there are less carrots and almost no save points.

PROS: N/A
CONS: N/A
RATING: N/A

REPLAY VALUE:

Maybe I will replay it, it’s not very interesting. Deside yourself.

PROS: Maybe.
CONS: N/A
RATING: Deside yourself.

OVERALL:

Not a realy interesting level, work on your eyecandy and practise on gameplay. But you have done your best because the Tubelelectric tileset is difficult to make. Good pinball stuff, it’s funny! ;)

PROS: You have done your best and it works, no places where you can get stuck.
CONS: Everything just needs a bit more.
RATING: 6.5

Practise much, spend time in your levels, bee patient, I can’t wait to review your next level!(I hope it’s Single player ;P )

EDIT: Why I always forget the rating?[This review has been edited by spazz]

First prog I’ve tried that uses Ruby. You’re the protocol master, Cheeze. :)

I give this a high rating for originality and a download recommendation.

This is pretty good. :)

I tried these levels of yours. I could barely see a thing and the tileset was confusing. It was extremely hard to not only see, but the amount of enemies made it almost impossible to beat. It really discusted me, and that’s my real opinion. I’m VERY sorry for breaking the silence here, but on the plus side someone finally used the “bee boy” enemy.

(While your description is very good, your rating is significantly high, and possibly too much so.)

(Re-re-edit by Violet: Trafton is right. If you dislike so many things, why give it a 9.2?)

(Rating RESTORED due to date review was originally posted. ~Violet)[

by the way, I didn’t use ANY tubelectric samples in this remix, so…

Good for a first one.

Tileset use: perfect(it was the author’s tileset).

Layout: great.

Events: basicly some springs, freezers and TNT.

Eyecandy: good. Nothing special, though.

Overall: good race level. Not to hard and not too easy either. Worth a download.

I’m giving 8.5.

I haven’t finished playing it and HAVE NO INTENTIONS of writing an very long critique of the levels because, as Disguise put it, its “totally crazy.”

However, I know the amount of work that must have been put into this level pack and I like the result of Spaztic’s efforts so I’m giving it a 9.7 (because I like SXR better) and a download recommendation. :)
