Download or not? Decide yourself i’d say. (Well, if you always wanted to know how your ‘puter works inside…)

Heh. Thats about the only reason you’d wanna download this (No offense to author) because it’s (like the other reviewers said, its too hotel like and looks a little ugly. But, also like the other reviewers, I like the general idea.

Thats my 2 Cents (News music plays)

“Futuristic Times” has one big problem: its not really a battle level (despite the author describes it as one) but not really a single player level either.

The whole design (which is quite good at the beginning in the upper left corner, but then gets worse in the lower right corner) would better fit for a SP map. A battle level should be circular and allow easy navigation.

The eyecandy is also good at the beginning (see? thats the problem: a good battle level never has a beginning at all) but then loses quality in the other areas of the map.
The JJ1 3D Bonus stage music fits quite good for MEZ levels, i think.

To conclude my review…“Futuristic Times” is definitely below the average and therefore not really a top candidate for a download. It just needs some more work (low four points).

Oh and “stenace”, reviews are never meant as personal attacks but as objective (at least we hope so) comparisons with other levels. We just want to help creating the largest list of homecooked stuff for J2 to make peoples download decisions easier. We can’t rate certain levels higher just ‘cause they were made by a beginner. If you want to discuss this, i invite you to visit the JMMB.

P.S.:
Wrong next level setting (leads to a level thats not in the pack).

beginner or pro it doesnt matter.
if u want high ratings go build a good lvl. we cant give a newbie 8s and 9s just cos hes newbie that wouldnt be fair

This is very useful. I used to hack the registry for this kind of stuff, but I couldn’t. I had to repatch my listservers, and it got rid of where you change my name. Then someone suggested this to me. It worked. Also, my brother likes it, because he does not know how to hack the registry. This is very fast, and is easier than hacking. Thus, the 10 rating.

“Eyecandy” Means how well you’ve used all the layers, Blaster

I’ll review later

Ehr ACE. You’re supossed to review. Not to just say it sucks or not.

I some how have my brains on puzzles but how are my levels tedious!!Genotoxin aka Iced…..You’re a bum! quit dissin a beginner’s levels so badly!!!!!!!!!!!

Why does everyone hate my stages so much??!!!!I’m just a beginner ya kno. Be nice you’re all discouraging me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and just becuz i do puzzles to get to battle zones you don’t hav to hate it!!!!!!!!In fact i always try to do best on eyecandy!!!

=(stanace)=

Hmm… you really should have emailed me that, rather than mess up the reviews here.

Looking at the info tho, I can see the error happened in the install. Basically, it has to be a problem with your computer, not the program. The install program is the standard one that ships with Visual Studio. I don’t know how to help you here, I’ve never heard of this error before. Only possibility I can think of is to try to install to a different drive/directory, as it seems the error occured in the CreateDir section.

Perhaps by accident you tried to install to your CD drive? Unless you have a second hard drive.

Please stop the flamebait reviews.

Super Mario SUCKS!!!
but it’s a cool level!!

Yet again a below average level. Uses the MEZ03 tileset, has okay eye candy, a strange (kind of hotel like) layout, along with some sort of puzzle like thing needed to get into the main battle place. Not very interesting. The puzzle idea isn’t original, and is quite tedious. (I mean, c’mon, I had to use jjcoins to get out of it), also the eye candy is kind of confusing at times.

Overall I was undecided about a rating.. so I settled on 3.5. Not worth a d/l IMO.

Well allow me to be the first to say I don’t really like this much. It was pretty simple, some bad level settings (NEVER EVER use subdirectories! Leads to lots of problems!), and it was.. well, boring. It has a few good sides (such as… well, I’ll think about it.) but aside of that there is no real reason to download this. Sorry.

Hey NewSpaz, AWFUL LEVEL! ABSOLUTE CRUD! I’M GONNA GIVE THIS A 1!

heh, but in truth, this isn’t bad. It’s below average, yes. But that won’t stop me from saying “Good Job for a first” mine was a lot worse…

This review is pretty short and dull but I can’t recommend a d/l.

Yup, I too am a hotel disliker. but I can admit that this level was at least tolerable. It has below average use of the otherwise good tileset. Has a warp-oriented style of navigation and strange stuff. The eye candy/layout overall could be improved. And I have to agree with Buster here, what’s the point of hotels in JJ2 really? they’re quite boring and IMO not really worth much…

barely 4 points and no real d/l recommendation from me.

This is pretty much an average level using a pretty interesting idea (though it wasn’t portrayed well.) has a typical hotel-style design (warp oriented design leads to trouble, you should know.) I don’t see the point of putting a hotel in an otherwise good idea like this.

Overall it’s BARELY average (was undecided between 4.5 and 5 points here.)

Now I’ve never been a big fan of Nintendo (never will be), but this isn’t a bad tileset (AGAIN I make a foremost complaint: Um, if you don’t have 1.23, why is the JJ2 version 1.23 on the level info? Fill in your version CORRECTLY please), includes lots of tiles from the Zelda games. Has a nice theme and a sort of weird example level. Might I also comment there are enough tiles for you to make a good level with some effort.

Download away. I was pretty undecided between 6.5 and 7 points.

My first and most stood out opening words: fill in the info correctly. This level is for 1.24, not 1.23. and it doesn’t use the Beach tileset. Thank you.

Getting onto the level itself, it’s.. well, not great. Has a very hotel-like design and weirdly placed events. I found my time in this level to be a very confusing experience. Try to give the people a hint about where they’re going and don’t try to rely on warps as a way to get around your level. You can also try to improve the eye candy, this whole level had a very boring look.

All in all I can’t recommend a d/l.
(BTW: annoying bug, wrong next level setting. And no music.)

First and foremost of all, you should NEVER include standard music files. Everyone already as them (as ST mentioned.) and they just tend to waste disk space.

Second of all, I like this level’s background. And it has a nice backgound. Did I mention the background was good? At any rate, there isn’t much extremely pretty besides the background… the events in this level were pretty weirdly placed together. This also has a tacky layout and below the average eye candy. The readme has a request for information about how to make “hollow places” (if you have questions like this, direct them to the JCS forum of the JMMB, please.). Also, this level has some strange ideas…

Wooteedoo, not much of a reason to download this, unless you obsess over good backgrounds.

Hmm, well, I didn’t review this the first time so I’ll do so now..

all in all this pack is pretty awesome. Has some great battle levels, superb tilesets with amazing music choices. It was a good idea to use WORKING textured bgs in all of your tilesets, as they add a super-cool effect. The levels are pretty good too. In of themselves their only downfall is that they get really boring after you’ve played them considering they all have the same style of layout and design.

Overall this is GREAT and I recommend EVERYONE get this now.
