Jazz2 is the best game ever. Now, let's prove it.

[Iam Canadian]

GameFAQS (http://www.gamefaqs.com) is holding a spring contest. People can nominate their favorite games for each platform for voting. Us JJ2'ers must band together! Put JJ2 as your favorite DOS/Windows game!

[MoonBlazE]

You need to get more outdoor and try new games.

[Unhit]

MB refers to WC3, I suppose.

[Stijn]

WC3 is played outdoors? :O

[Unhit]

WC3 is played outdoors? :O

Yes during carneval ;/

[Flamepanther]

I'd vote, but there's no way I'm signing up for a message board account over there. WAY too many idiots for my taste.

[$tilettø]

nice one, MoonBlaze.

[Violet CLM]

I'd vote, but there's no way I'm signing up for a message board account over there. WAY too many idiots for my taste.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Why on earth should you need to register in order to vote?

[blurredd]

I would guess so that not just anyone could be able to vote for what they want.

[Flamepanther]

Basically, that measn this "contest" is going to be dominated by younger "gamers" who like video RPGs better than anything in the the world, but suck at them and need a walkthrough for everything. Brilliant. I'm not going to worry too much about what they vote for as best. I know what games are good already.

[Risp_old]

Or people who make FAQs.

[Flamepanther]

I said "dominated by", not "voted on by no one else but". The people that go to Game FAQs to get help FAR outnumber the people writing decent FAQs.

[ElectroPiZZa]

"Jazz2 is the best game ever."

No.

[Razz.NL]

Jazz2 is the best game ever.

Where do you live?
How many times a year does your local game supplier get new games?

[Iam Canadian]

Well, <i>I</i> think it's the best game ever.
Well, PC game, anyway.

[blurredd]

I think it's the best 2D game ever mainly because of its versatility, but that's about all I can say for sure.

[Lark]

I've registered there a long time ago, and people actually notice stuff. Snooz noticed I submitted cheats for Jedi Knight 3, and Trafton noticed I made a review for Gladiators of Rome (that game could not have an N/A rating. N/A is too high. It needed a 1.0).

[Spotty]

I would have to agree with Blurred.
It's one of the best 2d games ever.
I can't say its one of the best games ever though.
I think that title belongs to another game...

[AvK]

There is no "best game". Everyone likes something else...

[Iam Canadian]

What I meant to say is that JJ2 is the best PC game ever. And, well, it's too late now as the nominations for GFAQ's contest are over. This topic can be closed now.

[Blackraptor]

JJ2 isn't the BEST pc game ever, there are lots of better games out there than jj2 ;(.

[Lark]

UT2K4.

[MoonBlazE]

I liked Jazz1 more than Jazz2, actually. It was a lot more entertaining and fun, Jazz2 just rather turned into a complete multiplayer sonic ripoff.

[Tubz]

But alas I would not vote for this game. The first Legend of Zelda or Legend of Zelda: A Link To the Past gets my vote.

[Chiyu]

A Link To The Past >>> all other zelda games, IMO

JJ2 kinda sux, the only cool thing about it is creating tilesets & levels.. RO and SK2 are so much better.

[Ninja]

Okay, JJ2, quite simply sucks. The only reason I ever played it was custom tilesets, levels, and friends. No one I care about plays it anymore, but most of them have AIM, and are still around, (IceWing, Bartman, IceM@N, Falcon, CrazyR, stripe, etc.)

and without the people, and online play, it would be complete crap.

and most of all, it sucks because I say so. :)

Right there, in bold would have been a great reason except for the fact that it no where comes near great.

[Sun Fun Dude]

JJ2 is fun but its not the best game ever. Many of us rarley play it anymore.

[R3ptile]

WC3 and ET are the best.

[SteelTalon]

I haven't played JJ2 in about 2-3 years, was a fun game in its time though.

(OMG) its Scorp. LTNS buddy! How's it been?

Derby: Acronym replacement. The original should have been filtered, yet it was not for some reason.

JJ2... best game ever? More like one of the worst. Seriously here is a 2D game made in the 3D era. Not nessesarily a bad thing, I like 2D platformers, but JJ2 brings nothing revolutionary to the genre, in fact it takes quite a few steps back from JJ1. Let's take a look at what made JJ1 fun, for me at least, and compare it to JJ2:
First of all we have incredibly fast gun blazing action, you run and shoot like crazy; in JJ2 Jazz/Spaz/Lori moves considerably slower, the abilty to walk instead of run might seem like an advancement, but I think it kinda sucks, in JJ1 you were forced to charge full speed ahead through everything, in edition to that the new smarter enemies like the bees and ghosts slow you down because you have to STOP and jump around to shoot them, this isn't challenging, its just a pain in the a**. The ammount of ammo you can hold is also greatly reduced which makes the game less of a shooting frenzey. OTher thing I liked about JJ1 was its outlandish and often down right wierd landscapes and music. JJ2's landscapes are pretty, no doubt about it, but they are so dull compared to JJ1's. Same goes for music, tis very nice, but much more conventional. Finally theres the plot, yes, the plot. Remember the cheesey little stills at the end of each episode in JJ1? Theres nothing in JJ2 except the very conclusive ending movie. Deven gets smashed by a rock and Jazz gets married. The developers knew that they had lost their touch and didnt plan on making a sequal. Yes there was JJ3 later, but it didn't ever ammount to much did it?

I'm almost inclined to vote for JJ1 in this but you'd have to hold me at gunpoint <strike>or give me lots of money</strike> to get me to vote for JJ2.

It's not meant to be revolutionary so much as to be the best of everything that has come before compiled into one game.

I always was under the impression JJ2 was faster than JJ1. When you don't have the Fast Feet thing, I mean.
the abilty to walk instead of run might seem like an advancement, but I think it kinda sucks, in JJ1 you were forced to charge full speed ahead through everything, in edition to that the new smarter enemies like the bees and ghosts slow you down because you have to STOP and jump around to shoot them, this isn't challenging, its just a pain in the a**.
The enemies in JJ1 were probably harder. Interesting that you think any intelligence whatever is a bad idea. The ammount of ammo you can hold is also greatly reduced which makes the game less of a shooting frenzey.
Imagine fighting any single one of JJ2's bosses with 999 powered up RF Missiles. Ooh. Dead. Next five! Really, the switch to 99 was very practical, as it means you can concievably run out of ammo and have to use your brain a bit more.
OTher thing I liked about JJ1 was its outlandish and often down right wierd landscapes and music. JJ2's landscapes are pretty, no doubt about it, but they are so dull compared to JJ1's.
JJ1 had Medivo, Stonar, and Holidaus. JJ2 has Psych, Carrotus and Haunted House. Everything in JJ2's tilesets is far superior to JJ1's - graphic quality, variety, masking variation, graphic variation, whateverelsethereistoatileset.
Same goes for music, tis very nice, but much more conventional. Finally theres the plot, yes, the plot. Remember the cheesey little stills at the end of each episode in JJ1? Theres nothing in JJ2 except the very conclusive ending movie. Deven gets smashed by a rock and Jazz gets married.
I'm not quite sure what that has to do with PLOT. That's more CUTSCENE COUNT. I seem to recall Dean had a limited time to make his animations, though, and having too many cutscenes wouldn't work very well when combined with JCS. Unless cutscenes were editable like .j2l files. That would be cool. (Though you must admit JJ1 didn't do that either)
The developers knew that they had lost their touch and didnt plan on making a sequal. Yes there was JJ3 later, but it didn't ever ammount to much did it?
Umm.... they DID plan on making a sequel, and everyone loved JJ2. I have no clue what you're saying.

JJ1 is an ok game, but it's beautifully primitive.

[Crono5]

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion so I'll just say that I disagree with what you say.

[Nielsje]

What I miss in JJ2 about JJ1 are the ubercool 3D Bonus Games... I wonder, if the game developers were able to create 3D grpahics so nicely in 1994, why couldn't they create some better 3D graphics 4 years later in 1998? Maybe it takes away the good and old skool 2D gameplay of JJ2, but there could have been at least those 3D bonus games...

Jazz is the best 2D game,but it isn't the best PC game the best PC game is:
WarCraft3. :D
