Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

YaY, I’m the 1st reviewer! ^__ Here goes:

Installation went fine, with a readme.

INSTALLATION RATING: +

Great eyecandy. Could’ve been improved a little in some places, but, eh. Close enough. Good job.

EYECANDY: 2.7/3

Well, navigation varied in levels. Most were fairly difficult, and others you mainly jetted around in tubes/warps. I wouldn’t reccomend beginning on these levels for CTF (who does? =P), but they can be great for an advanced group. Interesting form, too. The weapons had fairly decent placement, but lacked synchronization with the carrot(s) and powerups were kind of an issue in number and placement. The carrots were placed well but sometimes overabundant or too sparce.

WEAPONS: 1.3/2
NAVIGATION/CARROTS: 3.1/4
SUBTOTAL: 4.4/6

Nice but hard. Had a polished feel. Super. The tube level and slight difficulty brought it down a tad, though.

OVERALL “FEELING”: 0.8/1

Strong d/l reccomendation. You’ve got some solid CTFs, some of which are very worthy of your string. Mucho fun awaits.

TOTAL SCORE: 7.9/10
ROUNDED SCORE: 8/10

Never spend less than a week on a level if you want it to look even very bad. Anyone who’s played a level that was done in less than a week knows what they look like. It may take 2 hours tobuild, but spend time testing and de-bugging it.

I can’t belive this stuff! I actually couldn’t finish it in under an hour! High-quality, long-lasting, very fun levels make a perfect 10 for me. Awesome tilesets, cool music, and interesting puzzles (plus the MUMMY BUNNIES!) make this pack a great one. 2.7 megs? So what? that’s actually 2.7 megs o’ FUN!

no.

If you saw my first, this would be the entire game! (Although mine DID have less carrots…) Basically, my first level was total $#!T. (Sorry bout’ that, but nothing else fits!)[This review has been edited by Hawkin 87]

Well, my first reaction to Mr Magoo’s discription was that the level couldn’t be as good as he is arrogantly stating it is.

Then again, is it arrogance, or simply a statment of fact?

I’ll go for the statment of fact.

This level is exellent, fluent, fast, and fun.

The only problem I am aware of in this level is that it contains a pepper spray power-up. Pepper spray power-ups don’t have any effect on the game except to change the color of the ammo. It’s just another example of an unfinished event in the game.

Oops, didn’t notice I had it set wrong.

Newspaz – Normally I wouldn’t drop it one point over something small, but as I already noted I can hardly tell the lighting is dimmed at all. I understand you wanting the music to fit the level…I’m very particular about that myself. Of course the asthetic aspects are yours to edit how you please. I just don’t see any point in having the lighting THAT faint. As such, I had to consider it as more than a minor problem.

It is a well designed level otherwise.

its actually battle, i re-uploaded it

What is assault anyway???

He said he rated it with 7, so I changed his rating.

Nutshell – Good level. Download. You like.

Expounded Version:

The design of this level is very good. Ammo is plentiful and well placed, and the level is clean and easy to get around in, with plenty of eyecandy and good tileset usage.

The only problem with this level I can see is the lighting. If there was any signifigant reason to use it, that’s one thing, but the lighting is so faint that it’s not likely that you’ll ever notice it while playing, except that the framerate will be rather low.

I don’t mind the use of lighting, but when you can’t even tell the lights are dimmed, what perpose does it serve? It just comes off as annoying because of the effect it has on the framerate. For online levels espicially I suggest a conservative use of lighting, but if you’re going to use it, at least let us see some asthetic change in the looks of the level, not just a decrease in performance.

If not for the lighting problem, I’d probably give this an 8.0. As it is, I can only rate it at 7.0.

NOTE – It just occured to me that I have contradicted Fquist in saying that the level is easy to get around in. I’d like to point out that I personally didn’t see any problem with the layout, which is reasonably open if not entirely fluent. Whether or not the level is difficult to get around in probably depends more on your playing style then on the design itself, as I personally had no trouble getting around.[This review has been edited by Buster][This review has been edited by Fquist]

Yeah, I found some bugs too, but it’s still a good level.

Download, even if you don’t like Single Player.

This tileset indeed is great, as is are the levels. 7th lava fall is a bit big (well im not sure, it seems so when playing:)

This level indeed is quite original, but it has some major bugs in it, not just at the start.

Still, this level is worth downloading…

What has the j20 got against hotels??? It seems to me that everywhere where a hotel is mentioned or placed, the grades aren’t higher than 5!

I think what you guys here are doing is rating very low because the tileset is TSF only and for hotels. Im dont agree with that. The tileset is better than most I’ve seen (im a collector so i have lots) and I personally like hotels (when well built), thats why im giving this an 8.

Really original. YOU GOTTA SEE THIS!!!!!!!!

The levels are pretty entertaining, but the author should have tested them more, as I and my “contestant” got stuck a lot when racing.

I could NEVER pass up a Tubelectric level ;)

Now that’s the best level i’ve seen in quite a while. I dunno what to say…Check it out for yourself.

whats with the 1.24 thing??
and btw there is a music file
in the lvl, maybe you guys dont have it (?)
