(Unsupported rating removal. You really did nothing more than say that this is good, twice. Try explaining your rating and giving me a feeling of what the upload is like. ~Violet)

More people can play it if it’s 1.23… though 1.24 makes no real difference.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it’s the 53rd review for this darned overrated pack. Oh well.

What we have here is a 17.5 MB package including 12 levels, ambient soundtracks, 5 3D cutscenes and lots of other stuff which I’m too lazy to mention.

A huge amount of effort has gone into creating this episode, however, that doesn’t make it perfect for me.

The story tells the quest of young Jazz, stranded on an island inhabited by dinosaurs – yes, the story’s stolen from Jurassic Park. However, that didn’t matter for me at all.

The levels are all pretty well designed, some with very original stuff, however way too short and easy. I played through this in around 20 minutes I believe (can’t remember correctly), which is way too short considering what could have been possible. The levels are mostly outdoor areas with lots of evil enemies and a few puzzles scattered about. Those were pretty easy though, could’ve had some more depth. The dino hunt level was cool, but too short and easy again.

Like I said, the difficulty of this episode isn’t very high. The enemies are mostly not strategically placed, the puzzles aren’t that hard to solve, what else? Boosted difficulty had made this a lot more fun.

A good aspect of the pack is that it’s pretty creative. There are some ideas and tricks I’ve never seen before, and the dino hunt was spectacular. The puzzles could’ve been better, but overall very nice.

Eyecandy is so-so. In the outside areas it looks nice, while in the caves it’s dull. The tileset is not the best, which could be the main reason. It’s not bad, but it needs a lot more detail, especially in walls. Level 8 had exactly 10 different tiles I believe. Some tricks are neat though.

The story is told in a nice way through short dialoges of the character, and it’s easily understandable even for someone who didn’t watch the film. Some things don’t really fit in like the ammo, but that doesn’t matter.

Overall this pack is nice, especially for those caring about lots of extra features like cutscenes and makros (that are those little recorded games showing up if you do nothing in the main menu), but the levels were a little dissapointment due to easieness and shortness.

Those are my two cents, agree with it or not.

It’s a decent pack though, and worth the download.

EDIT:

I’ve played with my friend in Coop mode yesterday. It was fun, so I’ll increase the rating a bit. :)

(7.7 -> 8.0)

DX let him decide himself

im not going to rate it. but i do think its neat. who cares if he worked hard on it or not, i had fun playing it.

Stuff Placement: cool

Enemies: this is a multiplayer battle

Eyecandy: real cool

Funness: only in multiplayer

if you are in need of a real good battle level for multiplayer, then this is the level fer you.

my only complaint is that the level is too small. you should totally download this.

Stuff Placement: well, there’s black

Enemies: darkness

Eyecandy: howbout you

Funness: not really

just kind of a usefull level.

download this if you like to take screenshots without the backround.

The fog is incredibly annoying. The music is trash, but the game is sort of fun, It’s a challenge only because of the fog in the first level. It will annoy the hell out of you!

How long has it been that I reviewed something?? Well, lets see…

“Island in the saphire sea”… sounds good to me =P, lets download it.
….downloading left…3.2.1.all downloads are finished.
BEEP BEEP! BAP! KAZOW!

Wow! This tileset is really great! everything is in it, even a treashure chest. How long have you working on this?

The tileset contains enough eyecandy, like treashure chests, caves, spikes, cannons and beautifull background stuff.
When you want to make a nice lvl, I suggest you to use this tileset if you want a nice lvl.

But there are some tilebugs… Too bad… I would give it a nine or something! Also under water, the cannons, cannonballs and even jazz/spaz will turn in strange colours…??

But those 2 things wouldn’t get me off to download this stuff, hear me?? AARGH! I’m the captain of the black peril and next island where we will stop… the Island in th Saphire Sea! WHahaha! AARGH!

Review by Carrotpie

well i think u did a good job on this 1. ur not a BAD lvl maker so a 6 should do it.
(Unsupported rating (6) removal. Try to at least mention the level. ~Violet)

HMMMMMMMM…………………………………………………………………………. this is not a horrible set, it could use some errrrr LOTS more eyecandy. i dont really think u will need an example lvl for this. very small, easy to use ; ) any lvl u might make would be a bit boring. as PHT says, no download reccomendation

I don’t really know how to rate this. I don’t like it much but I like the fact that you can be in the audiance. S0 i’ll just give you a 4.5
(Unsupported rating (4.5) removal. I can’t really get an idea of what you’re talking about or even what the level’s like from reading this review. Try harder. ~Violet)

Please make your levels 1.23

EDIT: MAKE THE LEVELS 1.23

This lvl is quite useful, but also a pointless upload because ppl can easily create screenshot lvls for themselves. It would also help if you added some arrows to tell ppl where to go, or enabled low detail so that ppl can see where they’re going before wandering around getting lost. Apart from that…er…yeah, this lvl does its job well because everything’s black…and that’s it. There is a suckertube at the bottom, just for fun. ;-P No DL recommendation, however. :-p

The nxt lvl setting doesn’t work. You might want to fix those kinds of bugs before I start reviewing. ;-P

EDIT: Hey, wow, look, I still haven’t reviewed. How careless of me. ;-(

OMG&JC!!!
JOSEPH COLLINS DID IT!!! Sorry for my off-topicity, but this is just great. Get 8.7 from Joseph Collins, it’s fantastic. Great job you both.

it’s maybe not complete but i am not able to do anything with it. Too long time.

I will try to be not too evil. But, in true, I hate Linkin Park. I like only Numb from them, and particulary Faint. Everything other has to be killed, by my opinion.

Note: I listened only mp3 version.

It’s hard to review this, some parts are good, some are bad, some are just mashed-up, some fits greatly to each other. But reason why to download could be great fitting of second Tubelectric theme with POA. And that rap (normally I HATE rap, but this is excellent) rulezZ in combination with that second theme…

Samples are bad, just as original, too metalish. Tempo is slower than in original, beats are okay.

Great Job!!
Eyecandy

Yahoo My Friends And I Play This Lvl All DAy On Multieplayer!thy find it great!(Same As I)

Placement
It’s So Good!

In true, it’s original. Yes, that’s the right word. Original. JSZ Jazz did something like my ElekTronique Army, he combined his theme with Robert’s Allen Jazz theme. I was doing that more than month, and I guess he wasn’t doing it much less time. My tune was pretty… electronic, his tune has to be instrumental. With some beats. And with some metal.

I like it more than when JSZ Jazz sent it to me when he wanted to timmish his work. My style, how you apparentely know, is electronica, so you think I didn’t like it just cause of that I don’t like anything different, what’s hardly not true. I didn’t like it for its cacoharmony. Now, when I am listening it, I can hear harmony on 90 % of song, it means everywhere where is not that darn Metal Darn, what is big minus for you (from me). Without that Metal Darn was this tune dead, it’s cool how it makes it alive, but author could synthesize it with other samples.

Now, when I am listening it again, the main thing I don’t like is repetitivity and slow tempo. Repetitivity can be good, but with combination of this 1,5 × slower tempo than in original, it’s hardly annoing. That lead melody with those slow drumloops… truly, bad. This is semi-saved by good snares and hi-hats.

Sample choice, except hardly slow drumloops and unsynthesized metal guitar is okay, long strings sound well without any splitting of sample when repeating. Pianos are very good, background chords are just cool. Lead sample, like effects, is without any problem too.

Rating: 6.0 + 1.0 for originality, melodies greatly fit into each other.
