one (two exactly) of the best levels i’ve played in a long time. nice gameplay, item placement and details. the levels were huge, though i didn’t feel necessity for a custom episode for only 2 levels :)

RecommendedSlaz rated 8.5

2 Town based levels that mainly follow the original JJ2 level guidelines, but more polished. Relatively scarce ammo and just a few carrots makes for a fair challenge. There are secrets and goodies everywhere, an original bonus area if you get the coins, and interesting usage of springs and collapse scenery here and there. Old but recommended!

Why does everyone need to make the best level packs tsf? It makes me sick. I know you used a tsf tileset, but your last level pack was also tsf only and I hear some levels were not the tsf tilesets. At least some of the levels in it could have been version 1.23.

I can’t believe I didn’t review this earlier. I LOVE IT!

LEVEL PACK PLAYING TIME: 1-2 hours

EYECANDY: The Eyecandy ROCKS! The backgrounds and foregorunds are SUPER! It looks like a proper city. The levels NEVER felt empty as there was eyecandy everywhere you went. 10/10

GAMEPLAY: There are 2 levels in this pack but they are HUGE! I was on the first level for about 1 hour. There’s so much to do in both these levels. I had this whole pack finished in about 1:30! 10/10

PICKUPS & PLACEMENT: There are so many items to pick up in this level. Lots of weapons, food, gems and some coins. Everything is placed really well. Power-ups are hidden rather than out in the open. My only gripe is the Bonus Area in LV2, you can blow up the blocks with TNT and use the RF Jump trick to get up there. But apart from that everything is placed really well. 9/10

EVENTING: I really loved the way the “Flick Light” events were used on the street light objects. I also loved the way it went darker when you were in front of a building. 10/10

ENEMIES: Not too many or too less. Enemies are NOT found in annoying places like on the edge of platforms. They are placed perfectly. 10/10

TOTAL: 49/50 (9.8)

BONUSSES:
The music in LV1 just ROCKS. I love that White Coffee music. +0.1
The level pack includes a very well written ReadMe file and a nice little game where you can try to beat the Hi-Score if you found the password hidden in the levels. +0.1

DEDUCTIONS:

NONE

TOTAL BONUSSES: +0.2
TOTAL DEDUCTIONS: 0

GRAND TOTAL: 10/10

GRADE: S – EXCELLENT

DOWNLOAD RECOMMENDATION?

YEAH!

I know it’s TSF, but if you do have it download this pack NOW!

Wow, great work martin! This a very good single player episode including two long,
good-looking levels using the TSF Town tileset + music plus one funky custom music file
called White Coffee. "5 Alive" even includes a shortcut for the Jazz2 menu to choose
the episode directly from within the game (not from the homecooked levels list).
The ZIP file is jampacked with a nice readme and a bonus game (which i didnt try out though).
Every Jazz2 fan should download and play this immediately!

by the way EvilMike: your comments about TSF get boring, just download TSF somewhere (some people know an URL). Its just better than 1.23 (thats why its called 1.24). Thats it.

Best little levelpack ever seen.
The eye candy is SuperB
It’s difficult (I like that :)
Levels are long.

That means that you have to download this.

hmmm
this level pack relly does rule!
I encourage you all to review and download it… martin has once again, truly outdone himself. One of the greatest and most known level creators has done it again. I downloaded it, as i always download martins pack, and i had suspicions when i heard there was a .j2e file included. I tried out the pack instantaniously. It ruled. If you want 5 minutes x2 of good fun, download 5 alive.
i love these levels, as they are long, trickier than the official levels, and the eye candy blows me away. Good use of many tiles, i have trouble using the townhouse tilesets.

Woah is all I have to say. :P
Fabulous eyecandy. Great everything :P. This completely rules. As Black Ninja says, the townhouse tileset is tough, I just struggled with it to make me own level. (: Awesome job martin. (:

Very good pack… Nice and long. However, although it is nice to be able to choose it from the episode screen (How’d you do that?) It is kind of strange that the icon is exactly the same as homecooked levels. Anyway the level almost makes the town tileset look easy to use! It’s really not (as said above). I tryed once, and gave up!

Basically the levels are great, nice layout, great use of the town tilesets, yadda yadda yadda

Anyway, wb Martin! I hope you make more good levels like these!

Oh, And this is really an 8.5 rating.

Here`s another great level pack by Martin. The level design in each level is outstadning, and so is the enemy, weapen, food and so on placement. The levels themself are huge, and good enought to rival with Overlords RHG:TF levels. Btw, i also know how to do the episode thingie. If you`re all nice, i me tell it someday:-).

Good job! You made wonderful lvls which is hard to make with the Town tileset! But one thing is not good that there were so many buildings in the lvls. It made the lvls boring, but generally it was fine.

Good levels, just like the original…
just watch out that you don’t make them too big or don’t add the same stuff every time. Use some variation, a story or some kind of level boss… but I like your levels!!!

I think it doesn’t matter these levels are version 1.24 (TSF). They’re perfect.
