Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Very nice. It’s colorful and simplistic, but it makes for a good, fun level, and reminds me of the Cool Day tileset.

Ugh. This is horrible. The level and author’s actions are an example of exactly what NOT to do when making/uploading a level.

It’s very small, but very nice overall. Good job. I recommend downloading it if you like space.

This level has been detected as a conversion.

Due to this, it has automatically been assigned a 7.0.

Edit: I was being cynical, Violet. ;-P[This review has been edited by Trafton AT]

Actually, I like this level in many ways. It makes for a very nice Instagib, in fact. The level is a tad small and shows disregard for anything other than powerups, however. It’s a good level, but you should remove some of the powerups and replace them with 3x ammo or ammo crates.

INTRODUCTION
I have always been a big fan of the Foo Races series, and the latest installment of the Greenkiller’s classic Hocus Pocus tileset pack, Hocus Pocus 4, lends great new tiles to the series.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
At first glance, the tileset looks 100 percent like your typical Hocus Pocus tileset. After using it, however, the subtle improvements become obvious. The tiles look great, and the conversion was smooth. I must lend Spotty and Violet a hand for creating what is simply the best JJ2 console-based tileset of the year. This is a highly recommended tileset that you should download now. There are a few small bugs, but they are all forgivable.

WHAT I DON’T LIKE
However, despite the rave review, there is the fact this tileset is, well, unoriginal. Converted tilesets are fine, but effort is some part of my grade. Also, this tileset doesn’t feature any tiles that aren’t found in this game, which could be a pro for those puritan enough to be offended by the prospect of the classic DOS game being corrupted by modern touches, but likely is a con for those more accepting about edits.

BUILDING A LEVEL
Building a level with all DOS game-based tilesets is very straightforward. The tiles did not, obviously, require much matching, and levels looked great no matter how much I tried to mess them up. Amazingly, this was one of the few tilesets truly deserving the title of “fun to use.”

IDEAS FOR USE
Of course, this tileset would be great for use in puzzle and race levels. Few enemies really look natural in this tileset, however, but they look acceptable. This tileset could be terrible if only the bricks were used. Creativity using the potion and key tiles are really what could make or break a level using this tileset.

CONCLUSION
All in all, this is a great tileset and worthy of your download. Despite the fact that it is an imperfect conversion, it is good-looking and easy to use, and is thus worthy of being a Foo Races tileset.[This review has been edited by Trafton AT]

And so, Iam Canadian has uploaded his first level to J2O. But is it good, or is it crap? Lets see.

I have played this level online, and it is pretty fun. The disapearing blocks and the chatroom are a bad idea IMO, and the “Canada Rulez” thing only deducts from the rating…(j/k)..

So, in conclusion, umm, I will tell you part of a chat I had earlier with Trafton.

“KJAZZ: iam canadian submitted a lvl
KJAZZ: Ultimate Warzone
Trafton: The verdict?
KJAZZ: now, in my past experiences
KJAZZ: anything with “ultimate” in its name (cept for JMMB) is usually inferior
Trafton: lol”

Okay, most of the reviews here made the episode seem really cool. But I found it rather boring. There’s quite a bit of originality in it, but anyone (I think) can make those spaceship-cutscenes, of which there is too many, as was already mentioned, the eyecandy is rather unimpressive, and the level design nothing special. The only level I enjoyed a bit was the one at the beginning, where you chase tomator in the spaceship, but I don’t get why you kept on getting hurt. All in all not really impressive, better could be done.

Yay, the level is cool, but i have some suggestions:

1. Some turtles are respawning. if I leave a shell moveng there, I will have plenty of points non-stop uploading.

2. Found a bug in boss area. If boss will hit you with his tornado attack if you on h-pole, then you will stuck.

Overral, gameplay good, eyecandy nice, enemy placement average.

For the first level you made, Rafiki, Ill give you nice 7.5. Practice more and You will be perfect!

[EDIT]Rating removal. Sorry, this isn’t your level…[This review has been edited by ScionFighter]

This is a movie lvlpack (i think). Dont be so bad for him, i think he’s still learning. Ok, so the levels have some black humor (when i saw the credits level:)). And in first level you can find a bonus flight (at the last starship). Its very simple, but good for a 3rd level pack. So a fat and juicy 6 for ya!

I think you mean “rain forest”.

A 3D tileset, this set is one of the more plain tilesets you’ll come across. It’s got some coloured 3D blocks, letters in several styles, a couple textured BG and some poles. It’s got the bare basics, but leaves a lot to be desired. It’s good for a simple level, but could use a LOT more.

This is an…odd tileset based on the flash movie Blode, featuring disembobied heads, tanks with the Pringle head on it, a very clean musk-ox and some generally messed up stuff. However, some of the mask is messed up, and there isn’t too much eyecandy. A very small D/L reccomendation.

This is a very average episode. Each level in depth:

Level 1: This is a cut-scene type level.
Level 2: Cut Scene again]
Level 3: This is a very basic level with nothing new, original or interesting. The aliens are easy to avoid.
Level 4: A cut-scene
Level 5: A small space station level with lots of Sucker enemies. Too short to be interesting.
Level 6: Yawn A cut-scene.

Then the credits. What makes me mad is out of so many levels, only TWO are actually levels! There is medicore eyecandy,a poor story (the wife dies at the end without telling us WHAT HAPPENED) and Jazz/Spaz doesn’t even have a name! Even his wife calls him “rabbit”. However, I have seen worse, and the space level does have a degree of challenge as Spaz if you rush, but no D/L reccomondation.

Not too bad. The level is sort of a nice effort. The BG effect is honestly cool, and it’s got a couple nice bits, but it’s an average level.

THe link dosent work

Well, you cannot get stuck anywhere in these levels, I made sure of that. And the whole point is to try figure out where new doors just opened. The level is Temple of Vandora, btw, and what Coconut things???

My level pack was almost as good as this (Maybe as good) and I recieved a 5!
_

Well, I cant rate this, I dont actually have TSF, anyone know where I can get it?

I’m not sure, but these levels really seem like assault levels with enemies.
The levels consist of a long path (that goes in many directions), often you have to go somewhere to get a trigger zone. The enemy placement is ok, if nothing special, but the levels get rather confusing at times. (I just completely lost interest around the fourth level)
The eyecandy, except in the last level, is almost non existant. Paticularly in the Heaven level, where eyecandy is the norm. The background is sheer black, and it has the actual background in layer 5 in some places.
Due to all the doors closing behind you, you can get stuck. For example, again, the heaven level. (Temple of… Valdor, was it?)
The only goodies other then carrots are some coconuts in I think the second Aztec level, where you follow the path of coconuts to stay unhurt.
Apparently the author has added a lot of goodies, but I have no wish to download and play these things again. I’ll raise the rating a bit as benefit of doubt, but I still think I’d hate to see the other levels.

Edit: Heh. I just realized my review made it sound like this sucked. There were a lot of good points, though, that I forgot to mention.[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]

Very boring level…
It looks like that – you go to left side, jump up, go right side, jump up more, etc. It’s simple like JSZ Spaz’s brain, and easy like opening beer bottle. The only fun thing is that cool effect with vanishing frames after all objects. But they look a bit scrathed. If you’d make a normal background, I would give this a 2.
