Another Jazz adventure…Review….
THE BEGINING:
The intro starts out as “Bad guys – I thought this was a peaceful town” which doesn’t give you a lot of info about the story since you haven’t written one in the level discription. You spend the rest of the level fighting bad guys until you have to go into the sewers, lord knows why. The eyecandy would look good if you had used more layers and fixed those bugs. Not just the eyecandy bugs that make the level look bad, but the bugs that make you get to places you shouldn’t (eg The middle of the level in one of the buildings).
RATING 1: 4.0
THE SEWERS (OR SEURS):
Like the previous level, this has bugs. You can get stuck , those eyecandy bugs are still there and you seem to have put enemies everywhere. Near the end you reach a town where you still fight more enemies, without a clue what you’re doing and with Jazz complaining about how big the towns are.
RATING 2: 3.5
THE TOWN OF THE DEAD:
Again, there are bugs. You can get stuck in the caves, there are still eyecandy bugs and you seem to have lost track of the storyline. But this level isn’t as fustraiting as before because there is more space to move in and there isn’t as many enemies. But you overreward us with an extra life just sitting around that you can easily pick up. And those staleg-tingies in the cave do get annoying.
RATING 3: 4.2
THE CAVE OF THE DEAD:
Exactly the same as the city of the dead. Only there are even more extra lives lying around, Jazz starts complaining again and there is a boss that can jump out of its own arena. But by then, you forget why you’re fighting, the arena is very small and my computer suffered from an amnesia error.
RATING 4: 3.7
FINAL RATING: 3.8
RANK: 3 Very Bad
DOWNLOAD: No (N/A Requires 4)

I started playing this. It is pretty good. There are many enemies. It makes game challenging. It seems that Devan (Jazz doesn’t know it’s HIS fault) has removed some parts of the city and the world (a cute way to say “MISSING BACKGROUND”). There is a roof. If you fall, you don’t get the bonus which is at the end of the roofs. More enemies. More challenging. Then I walk a way made from grass. Then I go into the Sewer. The thing that makes this frustrating is the lack of light. I need JJLIGHT to play this. There is a “Lizard Town” which is the lizards lair. Later I get out. Mmmh… It can be completed. There are enough carrots. I had average fun. Then i find another town (Jazz seems tired of towns). Then he gets in an underground haunted creep. He fights skeletons. Then he gets in a cave. He has to fight more and more. He finds that the usual Devan has made this invasion. And the boss is the USUAL, FRUSTRATING DEVIL DEVAN. Why don’t you try using my custom boss formation (if it’s possible)? This deserves a 6 for me. I’m not sure if this should be downloaded or not. i think both you and me should both work on our English.

This is very well level-episode. Although it has some shortcomings, there is still sufficient fun.
Four good levels
In, around, on and under cities you must take off in four levels. There could always more come there, but these levels are fairly large and here and there considerable difficult.
Good things and shortcomings
The eyecandy is reasonable, but unfortunately here and there extremely difficult. Especially if you sit under the ground. That makes the levels very difficult, certainly for beginning Jazz Jackrabbit 2-players. That is a pity.
Moreover there is a bug at the fight with Devan Shell: he can jump away. If you a little bit to far from Devan, you must start entirely again with the fight.
Nevertheless there are also positive things. The levels contains a good number of bonusses. The enemies are good placed and sometimes is also complete funny what the rabbit ‘says’.
Conclusion
This episode certainly have a number of shortcomings.
But there is also a charming side: de text is lively, the enemies are good placed and there are enough bonusses. Fans of amuse theirself certainly with the episode. But for beginning JJ2-players this is no download recommendation.
“Jazz thinks caves are boring.”
download this!
BUGS (and only bugs…)
I am not going to rate it. I think it’s very cool. Idea of this level(s) is good.
Just one thing about making levels:
fix bugs.
here’s few buggies:
-in level 1 some walls are only on layer 3, that makes little holes in real walls.
-In some caves you can get stuck.
-Sewers arer too dark. Enemies can’t be seed. And it hurts.
-The devan boss. the battlearena is small, too small. Devan can fall of the arena. Also you can escape from the arena. (not good boss.)
