Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

SCRIPTION

I quite like this set. The masking is not that great though. The tileset is quite big, there are lots of tiles to use. It is missing some of the important basic JJ2 stuff though, including text signs, destruct and buttstomp scenery blocks (* & !). The backgrounds look good. There are 2 different versions of this set; Black and White.
I would find this quite hard to use though. I wouldn’t know where to start.
Now, for a rating, I’m gonna give this a 6.5 as it’s a pretty good set but it’s hard to use and the masking isn’t really that great.

RATING: 6.5

RANK: D – OK

DOWNLOAD RECOMMENDATION?

Normally I would only say yes for anything that got 7 or more but I think it’s worth a look as it is a great concept.

WOW!

This is just amazing.

At the first place:
You perfectly build up the levels and they’re just as much fun and energic as the official Levels, well done!

At the second place:
The music is nice. The tracks fit with the levels, zo another good point.

At the third and last place:
The levels are great for the real players. The secrets are very well hidden, the enemies make it real hard levels and all the pickups are very well lay-out.

Final opinion:
A real MUST HAVE for the real Jazz2 player. Good Music and Good levels, some tiny mini defaults, makes me come up with a 9.7

Great Job, keep on the good work.

I’d reccomend taking the “(2)” away from the white set’s filename, to avoid in-game download troubles.

What a terrible masking job.
Nice concept though

Wow, really awesome conversion, no bugs and it’s really easy to use. Lot of event tiles, some nice animations… Surely one of the best conversions ever done.

I actually quite like this. You can really be creative with this tileset and its really usefull in a computer episode or something like that. And to top it off, you have TWO backrounds that you can choose from.

However, it would have been a lot better if it had the important stuff ideal for JJ2 gameplay (eg. shooting blocks, poles and more tiles that could be animated)

RATING: 6.5
DOWNLOAD?: Usually, I would give an N/A for anythiug under a 7. But this at least deserves to be used, despite the fact its missing a lot of things.
RANK: 6 OK

I don’t want comment, I want ask why when I stay on ‘?’ I can’t see text?

[Probably because you saved the level in JCS, which you shouldn’t do. Download the level again, don’t save it in JCS, and the text strings will work. ~Cooba]

Now I can’t load level. Does it work in TSF?

10!!!! NO ANOTHER WORD.

COULD SOMEONE REVIEW THIS ALREADY

To spaz18:

Thank you for the COMMENTS&ADVICE Parts. Is my FIRST Level and i relate to this in my next levels.

Benchmark sended it to me and i very love it!(he explain me what to do!)

I should rename this Drmoo Tileset Extractor and recompile and release it saying it’s mine. But i’m not that demented XD.

I dont’ know how to get it to work though…

EDIT: GOT IT WORKING IT’S FRIGGIN SWEET! ALL 10 OF MY STARS GO TO THIS!

The third episode of the series were not as good as i’ve expected. I couldn’t enjoy like i did in the first two episodes. cause there were always endless pits, bloody spikes that sucks you…
No 1ups and not enough carrots to balance the difficulty, it’s nearly impossible to beat.

Also there weren’t new ideas except the explosions while chasing Mick Natla. Also the animated rocks in the temples were original.

The pack has has 5 episodes and it’s hard to keep the story interesting.
So there are two more episodes, and the author would make these episodes much more different than the first three. cause the pack started to repeat itself.
So, it’s my rating:
Gameplay- +0.9
Idea- +1.7
Tileset- +0.9
Music- +1.3
Bugs- +1.6
Rating- =6.4> 6.5

best!

The author says that he made it in a day and not to expect anything cool. However, I wasn’t expecting anything like this!

EYECANDY

The BG is OK but this was taken from the original Castle levels. The eyecandy in Layer 4 is just bad. Improper use of tiles, most of them don’t join together. As you progress through the level there is a MASSIVE area of RANDOMLY placed tiles with “Under Construction” signs there too. The Knights and Candles at the bottom of the level are interesting but they move a bit too fast.

2/10

GAMEPLAY

Not very good at all. The tons of enemies in the level make it really hard but that is not good. Very little Checkpoints can be found here, so if you die it’s back to the BEGINNING. It’s not impossible to complete, just that it got far too hard and I resorted to using JJRUSH & JJINV a lot.

1/10

ENEMY & OBSTACLE PLACEMENT

As I said before there are tons of enemies here. I saw about 1000+ Floating Lizards, 250+ Fencers, 150+ Ghosts, 5 Bees and 2 Schwartzenguards. Seriously, there is that many enemies.
No Trigger, Destruct or Buttstomp Scenery, so nothing much to say about obstacles.

1/10

ITEM & WEAPON PLACEMENT

At the start, I see 10 Coins which have no use whatsoever, there wasn’t any Bonus Warps. As I progress through the level, I see about 25 RF, and 10 Electro Blaster PUs. There were not enough Carrots in this level. No Food or Gems at all, but as there are TONS of enemies, you could get items from them.

2/10

DIFFICULTY – EASY/MEDIUM/HARD

As I have about a 90% or more chance of dying I would say this is hard.

TOTAL SCORE: 6/40 (1.5)

DR = No

This is a fantastic tileset. I’ll post a review tomorrow as I can’t get on the computer right now.

If any of you are wondering how I typed this, I did it with the Wii Remote. Stupid predictive text.

EDIT: Here it is.

This has got to be the BEST Industrius conversion I have ever seen!

TILESET: JJ1 INDUSTRIUS 2005

MAIN REVIEW

The first thing I see is that all the tiles & objects from the original Industrius are there, including the fast moving rockets and the fast moving platforms. The pink background is missing but I don’t think that really matters as I really like the Layer 8 Textured BG. I tested it out in a level and it looks GREAT! All the original adverts are there too including the Gravis Gamepad, Epic Pinball, One Must Fall and “Enjoy Epic.” These can be animated just like in JJ1. There is also some additional stuff including:
*Vines
*H & V-Poles
*Scenery Blocks – * & ! – I think it could have done with some other blocks including the Keyhole, blocks with a * with a number next to it and maybe blocks with the Weapons on them.
*Trigger Scenery – the lined block.
*New text signs as well as the original JJ1 signs.

Also included is an Evening version, where the only change is that everything has been given a shade of orange. I do think this version looks good but I’m not really too keen on it. I prefer the other version, this won’t affect the rating too much though.

Next, I will now talk about the layout and ease of use of this set.
The layout is SUPERB, tiles are very well organised and not jumbled up. The set is easy to use because you can easily find the tiles you want. Tiles can be animated easily.

Now for the masking, all the tiles are masked correctly, no jagged edges or any tile bugs like that.

EXAMPLE LEVEL (not counted towards rating)

Just a small battle level showing what is possible with this tileset. There are 2 other mini arenas you can choose from.

CONCLUSION

Now for the rating, I’m gonna give this a 9.0 as I love this tileset but there are still some things that could be added or improved such as more scenery blocks. Evening version is good but I don’t think I’d use it as much as the other version.

RATING: 9.0
