When teaching new things and ideas to other fans, you should make it more interesting, and more explorable, in a sense. A small level like that does not do very well for the example, but the "3" is the credit for finding it out for yourself and showing others how to do it. This may be the most positive review for this level, that can be looked at. The bottom line: Good job. You’re giving ideas to other JJ2 fans, which is a good thing. You’re just not taking any examples for others to follow, to a high level.

I’m not messing with the ratings, I’m trying to make allan feel better. Seems like all we get around here is negative reviews. Can’t you guys look for the good in things?!!?!?!?

(There are other ways of making new level makers feel better than to give them unfair ratings. I recommend you figure some out before reviewing any more levels such as this. -Trafton)[This review has been edited by Trafton AT]

Theres nothing good about this one folks. Except a nice new idea but
getting people to play within such a small space should be avoided.
Two points for orignality…

Why give it a 10 then?
Weird how it generates an access violation for most of us. It happened to me too.

I would recommend that the authors create a (longer?) sequel. Another, another story ;) That would be soooo cooool! Please?

I remember when I played this. It was THE BEST EPISODE I EVER PLAYED! Sure, it was a little short, but the storyline and challenges (like the one in the second level with the secret-passageway trees) are totally awesome! When I first d/led it, I wanted to just rave about it on the JMMB! (Well, I didn’t, but it is awesome) If you don’t have it, the DOWNLOAD IT NOW!!!!!

Okay, this time Another Jazz 2 fan gets his 7 points. Why? Well, the "Electric Nightmare"
becomes true in this pack which uses the Tubelectric tileset and a cool Jazz 1 music file.
The layout is kinda crazy but very original! I really like it.
"Electric Nightmare" is a single player pack, its not too difficult (actually its too easy :-)
and includes a cool bonus thats also based on an original idea -> you have to collect coins
in different sections of a castle.
My opinion: The old "Electric Nightmare" (its from ’99) is still fun to play, go download it!

Oh, by the way, "Electric Nightmare" doesnt seem to work with TSF. The game quits
with a "Memory allocation error"; maybe you could fix that. No idea :-)

"Another Jazz 2 fan" made a good race pack using all the three famous MEZ sets.
Sometimes the layout is of good quality but then suddenly looses quality in certain places of
the level. For example, invisible H-/V-Poles arent a great idea.
In my opinion the levels are very long (maybe too long) and there are too many sucker tubes and other
stuff you dont need in race levels.
To sum it up: this pack is good and fun to play. All you race & MEZ fans should download it.
P.S.: I really look forward to see the "full version" (the author claims this to be a "demo").
P.P.S.: I am still undecided between 6 and 7 points. Lets say its 6,5 :-)

Sorry Mike but I think you went a little overboard. It works fine here. And I think allan only wanted to show us his strange stuff.

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.

Thats right, a 1. The lowest rating possible. And this is the first level to get it. All 3 times I played this level it gave me an access violation and I had to restart windows because the error window would not go away no matter what I did.

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 think the difficulty in this level is perfict. Nice and hard, even on easy mode. This level is perfect. The only reason I took away one point was because
it was confusing for me a littile, and I didn’t like the part where you climb that room with the spikes you have to stand on.
