Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

nice and creative, visuals and item placement could have been better

I’m not sure where to start with this.

On the one hand, Diamond Mines WAS a fun level, with some caves (presumably the mines) at the very bottom, a few open areas and grassy plains at the top, and some chambers and passages in the middle. Layout was pretty straightforward, and eventage wasn’t too bad.

On the other hand, the coin warp was a pain in the neck to collect coins for. The eyecandy, while all right, could’ve been better.

Also, the music didn’t really fit very well (see my article Here for how I feel music should mesh with a level). I would’ve gone with something maybe a little more natural, sort of outdoorsey?

In any event, Diamond Mines was STILL a good, quality level, and I think it’s worth a download.

Scary name, OK pack.

Interestingly enough, this pack also comes with some items for your desktop. This is fairly new, but it’s an interesting idea. I’m not going to rate it higher for that, but I’ve never seen it used before. I’m not sure whether I like it or not, but it’s novel.

Anyway, this battle pack is not bad. It features several levels, all pretty good. Gameplay is fairly smooth, and everything else is very nice. It deserves a download recommendation for sure.

Pretty crazy glitch.

I look forward to seeing the level when it is done. It looks promising.

I managed to do something nearly identical when I got Jazz 3 years ago. I made a level (really bad – I barely knew how to) and when you reached the boss, you see a jazz popping out of the floor, like he’s running at the end of the level. Shoot him and airboard Jazz’s pop out. It was posted on J2C, but if anyone wants to take a look, I’ll send it.

Just another average lvl pack…not much really. But you put in some good effort. Sry about this, but you only get a 5 from me.

Don’t worry – there is a level coming. Notice the rest of it? That is a level is progress. I released this as a demo to show how screwy it is, and since then I have sorted it and made 90% of a level out of it, which will be coming soon.
Also, in reply to Mr Magoo, it happened purely by accident. The events obviously managed to mess up in some weird way.

It’s a nice battle pack. The eye-candy is generally good (but with a few errors), the layout’s nice, and the levels use nice music. Though that Sky Fight level was my least favorite since the music doesn’t fit too well and it has airboards in it. But I’m not gonna make my hate for airboards hurt the rating too much.

Anyway, the icons are alright and could be use in one of those JJ2 desktop themes (I suppose).

Boring yet glitchy. Needs some more challenges. It’s too short and easy. Add some more to the level and I’ll give it a higher rating.

The glitches were pretty neat, but the level itself stinks. Be sure to tell me how you did that.

yea the boss is screwy. its an allright level with some cool music. you should have put more stuff in it, more challenges, and uploaded it as a single player level. another thing, the boss guys are in the corner because you used belt left, it would be better if the boss moved around.
ive done this thing before with the boss, a major glitch in Jazz2 :)[This review has been edited by Wild Bill]
