Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Here I am, doing my occasional review. Dig in, foo’!

Installation went as it should, but no readme! People! ;P

INSTALLATION RATING: =

Cream of the crop in the eyecandy deal here. A couple places could’ve been fixed up, and layers could’ve be SLIGHTLY used more, but all in all a very respectable effort.

EYECANDY: 2.8/3

Well, the routes were solid and smooth but not too abundant and without variety. A bit too short for a real CTF. A few nice “secrets”, but nothing for the routes.
The carrot placement was virtually nonexistant. It was very unbalanced considering the powerups (if it’s not SUPPOSED to be balanced, then state it in the readme! =P).

Weapons? Unbalanced with the carrots and gasp some powerups were inaccesible with Jazz! You have to be able to get to the powerups to use them…

WEAPONS: 1.0/2
NAVIGATION/CARROTS: 2.5/4
SUBTOTAL: 3.5/6

Felt great, hehe! Even made in Canada!

OVERALL “FEELING”: 1/1

This one gets a d/l reccomendation. Maybe even a reccomendation into a string.

TOTAL SCORE: 7.3/10
ROUNDED SCORE: 7.2/10

[EDIT: Had to fix a few minor mistakes.][This review has been edited by SteelTalon]

“EvilCastle CTF” is a pretty decent level using the Medivo tileset. Really. It’s not spectacular or extremely exciting but as i said, very decent.
But well…first of all, EvilMike forgot to put single player start events, which makes testing and reviewing a pain…i’m tended to lower my rating because of that (j/k! ;-).
Apart from that little flaw, the layout of the level is quite good…like the eyecandy (nothing special though!). Weapon and event placement are okay, too (nevertheless, i don’t like all the destruct scenery too much).
The author obviously tried to make fair routes from base to base (parts of the layout are “mirrored” if you allow me to put it like that) and the music choice is very good (a classic Fasttracker MOD using 10 channels, obviously a tune by a german tracker as i can see from the song title…gotta be quality :-).

Well, to sum it all up: you can’t do anything wrong with downloading this CTF level (esspecially if you’re a fan of this playing mode). Good work, EvilMike.

The word “evil” +1
Eyecandy +4
Atmosphere +3
+.2 A gift
Yeay!
