Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Interesting and fersh idea. Remembering it’s a contest entree, I won’t rate it, but I like the idea.

+good: the top of the level has got some interessting layout. I like small levels.

-bad: the lower part of the level is very empty. Ammo placement is not very special. Tileset is not used well. Background is a bit boring.

Waz’s Wise Words: Spend more time on making levels, avoid emptyness.

Rating:3.5

No download recommandation.

I always knew city and town (find the difference beetween the meaning of these words! you can win a mumbo jumbo!) tilesets look better at night. YOu should download it if you have the original version of Townsville ][. OK, now make night version of Winterland Wonder. I hope you’re nice today? ;)

Normally I don’t review CTF levels, but since it is made on one of my favourite tilesets… I decided to have a try. The eyecandy is made nicely, but it looks like some beauty islands on the level. Everything looks quite good, but some places are cooler (fan? ;P) than rest. Ammo placement – a bit too little of ammo for my likes, but I always liked more ammo than others (see my battle pack ;)). There is only one thing a bit overrode – 8 fastfires in one place! Wouldn’t be too bad, if they’d be more hidden… I think I’ll rate this a 7.5… or wait! The level has great music. Make that 8.

Like always (well OK, except Scraparap) your JJ1 remake kicks butt. YOu’ve included not only all tiles and JJ2 event stuff, but also the movie things! It’s interesting that example level has a story. A bit bigger, and it would increase the rating a bit (punish me for rating example levels. c’mon, do it! ya scared or somethin’?), but it won’t do any harm (hah, so you can’t prove it!). Anyway, your conversions rock and I give you a solid 9,5. It’s a 3 in 1, and a good one, so download now!

Good job. The titlset, well, the most of it is background, the comets and the city or fire stuff. The titleset is better to use as a story or intro level. To bad you can’t build nice eyecandy with it. A good point is that the fps is very good with this titleset. That titlesets of Agama are just great, but the pallate and stuff makes the framerate low. The music is only monster sounds, not realy a music, a 6.2 and and download this only if you are a Quake fan. The example level is good, now you can see wath the titleset made of. You have done your best, well done, tough.

This is not good. All the titles are not used well. Spend more time in your titlesets. Almost everything is masked. A 1.5 and no download reccomend.

First off, it is TSF.
Pro’s: The Animating Tap works.
Con’s: The entire extent of the ground is some non textured generic tan counter, which has some of the grid left in it. There is also a giant cup that is masked solid, some bricks that look solid but arn’t(They look AWFUL when tiled), and a generic gray peice that is masked. There is a drawer eyecandy that actualy can be tiled correctly, and a cup or somthing that is tiled incorrectly, as you have to put it next to a tap that can’t animate. There is a slope that takes you a half a tile up, and another slope that is the first, just fliped. There is also a four tile logo of the person who made this. Oh yah, no background. The only thing I could see being made of this tileset is a cube that has grid lines on it. Basicly, I could make somthing in paint in about seven minutes that would look like Agama compared to this. Next time, spent time on your set, make sure everything tiles correctly, and make sure to get rid of the grid. Ok, if 1 is non-existant, 5 is avrage, and 10 is peferctly flawless, I give it a 1.8. There isn’t a 1.8 in the rating box, so here, have a 1.7. Download not recomended.

…

Episode 3. If I remember description from help file good, it’s Devan’s airport satellite. This explains why so many rockets fly there, and that’s where the remix was pointed to (it’s loud on airport, don’t ya think?). And Superjazz, original Megairbase was repeative even more. :) So I think that this rating is a bit unfair (I’m not sure did you guys at least played JJ1…)

What a great levels are this! only in the second level you kan jump to the bonus. But the other things are great. But i dont believe that this are your first levels.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND THE EASTER BUNNY DOESNT LIVE

This tileset is phew-oot another JJ1 conversion of Violet.
I know I may not say it, but the example level is cool and orginal too. I give + points for that harhar.
The tileset itself is in three various parts, Day , Night and Evening. They are all totally cowfish and doofus. The eyecandy is very nice, and you se a moving santa Claus on the background.
Nothing to say further. The tileset is barf and I give the 8.7 only for the “Violet is a cowfish”.
Well done.
I am proud to have this as my i-really-don’t-now-how-to-count-review.

Its good. I like the example level to

it’s me mario.
it’s the same just like mario bros 1
world 1 and the same musics!!!!!
worth for a download.

I have learned many very important things while reviewing this tileset, which happens to be my six hundereth review. The first and most important thing that I learned was that Violet is a codfish. The second and slightly less important thing is that Violet does, in fact, make great Jazz 1 conversions, and it was not JUST Nippius. From what I can see, this is a more or less flawless conversion.

The conversion quality was very good. After a quick lookover, I was simply unable to find anything that differentiated that much from the original, if anything at all. The colors looked right, the conversion seemed to be spiffy, and the masking was all in check – very well done, Violet.

Added tiles were also very good. The textured background and the like all look very good in the example level and with the tileset in general and add to the quality of the tileset. Unlike many conversion tilesets, the added tiles do NOT make the level look cheesy or make the conversion look questionable. If I did not know better, I could have sworn that the background came with the tileset in Jazz 1. Also, it is always great to have a fresh reminder of the Doofusness of Craig. Very well done again.

Masking was good, as I did not get stuck. It’s a basic “regular” mask, featuring a minimum of jaggies and the like. Not much to say here other than that I had no quips with the mask as usual. Well done.

There are a lot of JJ1 tileset conversions out there, but this one is by far one of the best. Keep making conversions like these, Violet. Soon, we will have great versions of all of the Jazz 1 sets…if you can survive through converting them all. ;-P

+ PROS: Spiffy all around.

- CONS: None.

VERDICT: Overall, an 8.7 and download recommendation for this. Very well done. I am proud to have this as my 600th review.

EvilMike is beginning to scare me. If I do not rate this, I will be banned from something and I have no idea why. Anywayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyys, this is a more or less good Quake III conversion by PsyBlast, who is “Username”‘s brother. I can not be a judge to how good of a port this is, as I have never played this type of Quake, but I will do my best to rate this as a tileset. All in all, this is a standard conversion. It features many of the tiles one would need to create a basic level and does look like what I would imagine this incarnation of Quake looks like. Much of this import tileset consists of tiles that serve as background eyecandy in Quake. This is okay, and common when there is a port from a game such as this, but it can translate badly when you have no foreground eyecandy in Jazz 2. It is hard for me to give this a full review, so I suppose I will leave it at that or something. I can not lend this a rating, since the person who uploaded it is not who made it (in fact, the person who uploaded it uploaded it from someone who exported it from a game that used someone else’s art…phew). I need more information to give this an actual solid rating of any type, so I will leave this as a N/A both as my official rating and text rating. Still, from what I have seen, it looks good. That is all I have to say for now; I will update this review after extended testing. If everything works as it appears to, nice job. You did a good conversion from what I can see…then again, I have never played the game you converted. Oh well.

Well, the level is ok. The music choice is different froom the one usually used, and even though im glad its finally different, i still like the overused tune more. The layout is good, its not confusing and its easy to move around in. The carrot placement is ok, I had some doubts about the warps to the fullNRG, but after further testing I found no errors worth mentioning. Ammo is placed well, I have nothing agaisnt it. Eyecandy is good, but it feels like its missing something, could of been a bit more in some places, but its good. The level overally is ok, there isnt much wrong with it, but its nothing really exciting. Its a great effort and worth downloading,but its not as good as the other level (Angelic Warfare) that you both made. Still great thoug, and im giving it a solid 8, almost 8.2 and a download reccomendation.

Oh, and one more thing. It also seemed to me that each of you made your own half, because the 2 halfs look strangely different, its suspicious.

A semi important notice:

There have been some bugs which I have failed to discover, so I have reuploaded this level and now the bugs are fixed. Such bugs are the RF without the generater, which now has it, the gun crate, which is now a gunbarrel and I increased the speed in some sucker tubes. Revieweres may want to reupload, but I reccomend just ignoring the certain points. And about bumping your head on the ceiling, as BlurredD said, sadly I couldnt figure a way to fix it without changing it completely, which I did not want. That is all.

Finally, Violet strikes back with another conversion of Holidaious.
Tiles included: Probably all the tiles from the original holidaious are included, even those pesky hands that come out of the ground and ceiling. What more could you want? Some nice tree animations there that are included, a working backround, some important tiles such as destructable blocks and poles, and some eyecandy things. Violet has added in some extra tiles as well, such as the vines, hooks and poles and things, because the original holidaeous didnt include them. This is good, since these enable you to make a great level with this set. Basically, i cant think of any missing tiles.
Color: What can I say, its great. All 3 versions have excellent color which matches that of the original tilesets made for Jazz Jackrabbit Holiday Hare ’94. The backrounds are great, and so are the added tiles. The set is really nice to look at. There is a large variety in color and its all great, I dont know how it could of been a better color edit/remake from an original JJ1 tileset.
Useability: Its ok, some tiles are placed far from others which go with them, and some parts are a bit confusing. Looking at the set at first, I recieved the impression that most novices will get a hard time using this set, but then I quickly got used to where the tiles were placed, and I had no problem. The tileset is perfectly usable, containing every tile (except possibly a sucker tube) which is used to make a good level. I see few problems with this set.
Tiles included rating:3.2/3.5
Color: 2.9/3
Useability:2.6/3.5
Total = 8.7/10
Additional comments: Can Violet get any better? His conversions are amazing. And in this one, violet took the time to make 3 different versions of this set (Evening, day and night). All of them grwat with many strong points. Great to use set. There are some cool animations, and Violet included some extra tiles to make the sets better. These are some of the best conversions I’ve seen, and would definately used by lots of levelmakers. Violet makes conversions look like a work of art.
OVERALL COMMENTS:
These are great! They have every element of a good level (except some suckerz could of been added in) and are great to use and fun to look at. These will definately be the number one choice for any person wishing to make a level with either version of the holidaeious set. A nice christmas tileset (even though its a bit late :P) which I reeccomend everyone to download.

This blows the roof :)
