Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

TSF. Don’t make levels in TSF make them in 1.23

Some great new ideas and very good eye candy. It gets a little hard near the end but this is one of the coolest packs ever. You should really download it right away![This review has been edited by Sun Fun Dude]

Ok, this tileset has not been reviewed or rated sensibly yet, so I guess I can do that.
Waz11 is a castle/factory mix. The walls are mostly green/blue/purple bricks in fun shapes, and there are a lot of pillars. There are also techy platforms, firey animation pillars (could use better masking), and a background consisting of bricks and pipes. So I’m not sure what the theme is.
The graphics, what there are of them, are ok. I like the crate, for example, though it doesn’t attach itself to the ground very well. The whole tileset looks like it’s done with just the sprite colors, but there’s nothing wrong with that.
However, even if you make TSF levels, I can’t think of too many reasons to use this, as it doesn’t seem to have anything new or different. Indeed, most of it can be found in an earlier tileset of Waz that I forgot the name of.[This review has been edited by Bobby aka Dizzy]

euh…..how dus an anticrash works?

Since I’m short on time, I will use BlurredD’s reviewing method.

This pack suffers from not having any standout interesting aspects. Sure, overall, it’s a solid pack, but there just is not anything to keep me playing it. Play gets tedious quick, which is unfortunate, but these levels all do give me a nice dose of nostolgia. On to the review.

Just Your Typical Level

GAMEPLAY: First of all, this level has no border at the top, which is flag bug waiting to happen. Overall, the flow of this level is not anything special. The use of springs was interesting but overall not very well done. I can’t say that this is exactly as good as I remembered it.
EYE CANDY: Eyecandy was pretty well-done. This tileset does not allow for much in the way of ultra-amazing eyecandy, but what is there is well-done.
CARROT PLACEMENT: I could not find any carrots.
AMMO PLACEMENT: There wasn’t all that much ammo, but what was there was still placed. Still, I can’t believe that people still release levels containing TNT. IT DOESN’T WORK. INCLUDING IT A LOT WILL NOT MAKE IT WORK. ;P
HOST THIS OFTEN? Maybe once or twice. It just doesn’t have anything to keep me interested more than five minutes.

Non-Union Computer Store

GAMEPLAY: Above average. The balance between the two teams was alright, as well, and flow wasn’t bad indeed. In fact, this was a low better flow-wise than the previous.
EYE CANDY: Interesting use of lighting, which comes out as too dark for this level. Otherwise, eyecandy wasn’t that bad.
CARROT PLACEMENT: Unlike the previous level, this level has way too many carrots, and they are not placed very well, in addition.
AMMO PLACEMENT: Yet again, decent, but this level also has TNT.
HOST THIS OFTEN? Yet again, maybe once or twice. There simply are not many reasons to host this level, though. It is not interesting enough.

LabLocked

GAMEPLAY: Flow is alright, but the balance between the two teams is too slanted. Could use work.
EYE CANDY: Nothing much interesting. Some of the level looked off, which is disappointing, but it reminded me of the eyecandy of the day. Still, during these days, this eyecandy just doesn’t cut it.
CARROT PLACEMENT: Yet again, there are too many carrots in this level, all of which seem to be placed at random.
AMMO PLACEMENT: Fair enough. Probably the best part of this level.
HOST THIS OFTEN? No. This is probably by far my least level in the pack. Unlike the other levels, this not only does not provide any interesting reason to host it, this level just is flawed in many ways. I might host it once, for nostolgia purposes.

Stupid CTF

GAMEPLAY: Gameplay on this level is more or less simplistic. Still, this is not necessarily a bad thing. Flow was generally good, but there was nothing amazing.
EYE CANDY: Definitely different than the other levels here, possibly because of the moving layer. Still, there wasn’t anything extremely amazing in this level.
CARROT PLACEMENT: I could not find any carrots.
AMMO PLACEMENT: This level lacks powerups that I can see, but basic ammo placement is very well done.
HOST THIS OFTEN? Occasionally. This is probably my favorite level in the pack, but it still is not anything amazing.

Conclusion
This pack is alright. It does not provide any levels that are interesting or notable in any way, but it is a good one-time play to remind you of Capture the Flag levels of yesteryear. Don’t expect, however, to stay interested for more than ten minutes, as this level pack provides no reason to be so. Still, it is overall not a bad pack and worth a download for CTF freaks like me.

Wow. I completely missed this when I was looking through the downloads this other day. I must say that a program rated 9.7 is quite amazing, and while I can’t say I think this download deserves that high of a score, what I can say is that this is a necessary tool for anyone who has Jazz Jackrabbit 2 and plays frequently. This program, using a fairly common and easy-to-manipulate gamehacking trick, bleaches all names so you can easily tell who is on what team during a game of Capture the Flag. I’m amazed that this has not been thought of before, since this is a common frustration and anyone who has ever played Capture the Flag heavily has always wished for a program like this. During testing, I found absolutely no glitches. This program does what it does quite well. While it is true that this program is flawless by every definition, its also a bit simple. Still, I think that this is a tool that no self-respecting CTF freak should be caught without. The interface is great, it has no bugs, and its absolutely great at what it does. For this, I give it a download recommendation and an overall 9.5, though I may raise or lower this after extended use.

EDIT: Rating upgraded to 9.6.

Very good.
The new enemies work also very well.
The last level are all congrats!
But the levels are a little to hard.
Too many gems I, think. But it still is many many fun.
Download recommend.

It contains a link to the place where you can download the around 2,7 MB pack, Trafton :P

Useful..cool…i like.

Actually, I find that the eyecandy is well-done, but there is wayyyyyyy too much of it. This is, quite simply, a prime example of a level that contains way too much eyecandy for its own good. How is this possible? Just take a look at this level. Vines are everywhere. It is nearly impossible to see where you are going in some places, but there is no denying that the eyecandy is well-done. As most know by now, eyecandy is not as important to me as gameplay is. And this level does not do wonders in gameplay. Flow would have been pretty good if it wasn’t for the extremely excessive eyecandy. It’s simply very hard to see through the tangle of vines, etcetera, and it quickly becomes annoying. I’m not a fan of when people who label their levels “classics,” and I can’t say that this deserves the title. I can see that a lot of effort was put into this level, but it lacks in gameplay and goes far too overboard in eyecandy. Well-done…too well-done, in fact. I will rate this level in more detail when I get enough time. For now, I give this a seven point five and download recommendation, unless you absolutely despise layer 1-3 eyecandy being everywhere. In that case, avoid at all costs.

This level is the proof that levels also can have to much eye candy. Which makes it pretty tough to play. But anyway, since it must have taken a pretty long time to make, I’ll give you 7.2 for the effort.

If you like to play in a graphical fest, download this. If you like to play rather play battle1.

HoLLa.
No comment.

HoLLa.
I’ll use this! Thx dude. Great Job.
