Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Yay, 200th review! Anyways, let’s get this review over with…

SONG ANALYSIS:
Firstly, the song is maybe one of the longest songs ever on JJ2…7 minutes 20! That’s quite a long time to sit there and listen. The song is basically the JJ1 songs of the first episode squashed up into one huge song. I was expecting a combination of the three (that would be interesting and origional), but actually, all you hear is the Diamondus theme…with no edit at all. After about 1:30, you hear some shakers…than all the patterns in MPT change to 256 rows (!!). The whole Diamondus theme starts again, but this time, it’s sped up. After 3 minutes, the song suddenly changes to Tubelectric. After you’ve finished listening to that, you then sit through the Medivo song.

I like the idea of having all 3 songs put into 1, but so far, until the new version comes, you have to live with a 7 minute song with nothing interesting changed. I suppose it eliminated having to open all 3 files.

SONG RATING: 3.5

SAMPLES:
Er…the same. We’ll have to wait for the final version.
SAMPLE RATING: N/A

FINAL RATING: 3.5
RANK: 3 Very Bad
DOWNLOAD: Since this is not a full version, i’ll leave it as an N/A, but I wouldn’t sit there for 7 minutes listening to a totally un-remixed, 3 in 1 JJ1 medly that has the same samples. I would wait if there is another version.

Also, I would actually like to see a single song with all the JJ1 elements from different songs. That’s something we’ve never seen before.

I quite like this song but it’s not very accurate in switching from one theme tune to another.

SONG LENGTH: 7:20

At first the song begins playing the JJ1 Diamondus theme normally from 0:00 – 1:25. From 1:26 you will start to hear the Tubelectric background music. At 2:28 the Diamondus theme starts to speed up like when you pick up a “Speed power-up” in JJ1. At 2:58 the song switches over to the JJ1 Tubelectric theme but as I said before it wasn’t very accurate.
The Tubelectric theme then plays on normally. At 5:04 you then start to hear the intro of JJ1 Medivo.
The Medivo song plays the usual way, nothing much has changed here. The Medivo music disappears at 7:13 and then the song slows down at 7:16, then at 7:19 it loops back to the Diamondus tune.

This is my first time reviewing Music so I hope my rating is OK. I’m gonna give this a 6.5 as I like the way you managed to mix the songs together but it’s not very accurate in switching from one tune to another.

SUMMARY

GOOD POINTS

*Great mixing of all the songs from Episode One of JJ1.

BAD POINTS

*Accuracy of changing from one song to another.

RATING: 6.5

RANK: D = OK

DOWNLOAD?

Yes. I think it’s worth a listen. I look forward to hearing what the final version sounds like.

BTW, I tested this both in Winamp and Modplug and they both sound the same.

yay, episode one megamix
