Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Another Mario pack? That’s what I thought when I started playing. This one’s quite fun and original though.

Gameplay:

The game starts simple. You have to jump around and kill the evil guys and collect lots of coins. If you happen to get enough you can access a bonus room with some TNT. Blowing up my enemies with it was quite fun. Though when I faced the boss in the second level, I wished I hadn’t wasted it yet. More levels follow. Some are a lot of fun, others are messed up badly. In one, you have to choose which way of torture you want to go through. Sounds all quite hard. In truth though, nothing really hindered me from just coptering through to the end without being harmed. Spaz has a harder time here.

Rating: 7.2

Difficulty:

It begins easy, but soon gets more challenging. I liked the first boss, who was hard to beat without the TNT. In the levels that follow, the difficulty is mostly made up by lots of enemies. Normally, I don’t like those levels with clumps and dozens of enemies a lot, but these are an exception, because you had to use your weapons intelligently in order to beat them. Though sometimes it’s the best to just run away without fighting (cough*bee bridge level*cough). The last boss could have been a bit harder. I still have to replay this on hard mode sometime.

Rating: 7.7

Creativity:

Lots of creativity, actually. Every level is unique in both looks and style of playing. There is an airboard mission, an underground hell-like world and more. The only real letdown is the “path of death” level (how I like to call it). The obstacles are very repititive, annoying and just make the player copter through with Jazz or Lori (there are character changers available, so that’s no problem). This is the worst level of the pack. I liked the cutscene level with the mario brothers army (or whatever) marching towards Bilsy’s castle.

Rating: 8.2

Eyecandy:

I have to say it again, I hate the Mario tileset (I’m probably going to mention that in every review of a Mario pack). On a big computer screen, the graphics don’t look very pleasing. However, the set’s possibilities have been used very well. Every level looks different and well constructed. I don’t think the original games for the gameboy look better. I liked the picture of Bowser hiding.

Rating: 8.0

Story/Design:

You find Bowser hiding in a tube, telling you Bilsy wants to kill him to take over his kingdom. This is either ridiculous or funny, depending on your view. I liked it. So, to help, the player (and Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Goomba) begin marching towards Bowser’s castle which is inhabited by Bilsy. You’re never alone, as your friends from the Mario world are always there to give you helpful tips. Sometimes, they even take part in battle through the clever use of MCEs. I liked the story, it fits the Mario world perfectly and keeps the downloader playing too. A letdown is the poor spelling. I suggest the author gets someone to correct it for his next release.

Rating: 7.7

Overall:

I expected a mediocre pack at best, seeing as I never really liked all that Mario stuff, but this was very fun for the most part. A few areas need to be improved, but it’s still worth the download.

Final Rating: 7.7, download recommendation

Have fun.

OK, I’ll rate it then.

NEED FOR BOWSER 3 REVIEW:

STORY: Bowser is hiding and Jazz/Spaz/Lori has been sent to destroy Bilsy. A good story. 8/10

EYECANDY: It looks like the classic Mario on the NES. I like the Mario Tileset. Background may not be much but is like the sky you see in classic Mario. I liked the falling fireballs in 1-6. I liked the idea of the blocks with a countdown on them. They disappear when the number reaches 0. 8/10

GAMEPLAY: You can collect coins to access Bonus Areas by paying the Koopa a certain amount. It plays just like Mario. 8/10

MUSIC: I really liked the Mario music remixes but the music on 1-2 was kinda annoying as it looped every 30-40 seconds. 8/10

PICKUPS: There was extra weapons that could be picked up by going in the Bonus Areas. I’m not sure about the re-generating ammo though. There was TNT that could be collected in the first bonus area. It was kinda pointless though as I didn’t use the TNT at all. 7.5/10

OBSTACLES/ENEMIES: I did think that there was WAY too many Bees in 1-2. They did get very annoying. Also, in the Airboard level, I thought there was way too many enemies. I kept on having 1 Heart health most of the time, but after shooting those enemies I kept getting Carrots. I didn’t really see that many obstacles in this pack. Only obstacle I saw was the Trigger Crates in 1-5. 7/10

TOTAL: 46.5/60 (7.75)
Rounded to 7.7

I didn’t know how u did the ‘if you fall in lava you will die trick’ but it was pretty good! Always wanted to do that!

But dunno how.

what’s the password?

Wow! Congrats! I like the Mario theme very much. The music is also nice, but there are two many enemy events. Also, the delay for the enemy respawn is way too fast. There were also numerous events of animation which i think were overused but overall, I think this pack deserves a 7.
