Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

This is a pretty good tileset for a game made in the 80’s. It has old graphics but it is still pretty nice. Good job at making this great tileset conversion. I like this tileset conversion and I sort of like Bomberman. There is lots of eyecandy in it like: bombs, skulls, flames coins etc. I like it because it is a very good tileset conversion.
Keep up the good work MSB3000. I hope to see more great levels and tilesets from you. I will review your other levels too. That is the end of my review.

Download Recommendation:
Yes.

Overall Rating:
I give this an 8.0.

WHAT THE O MY HOLY COW!?

this song is just plain wierd!

the drumbeat sounds like it went to the dark side of funky! and it’s too slow!
and i actually can’t really hear too much how it’s related to lagunicus.

this would be a good song for a level of weird things

i gives you a 7 for effort

Told’ja all I needed was some sleep. Now I’m back in the swing and ready to kick some fuzzy green tail. :x

Introduction:
Strange, strange title(un-l33ted, “Fan’lnt”?) for a pretty decent easy-listening-to-rock arrangement of Fanolint.

Song Analysis:
Starting out, the song doesn’t sound too much like Fanolint. In fact, it sounds more like something you might hear down in Chinatown or something.(Which isn’t a bad thing, mind you.)However, this song really begins to pick up around 2:50 when we hear added drums in the background. Around 3:50, though, all the samples playing begin to sort of clash with one another, but this only last for about fifteen seconds or so. Or maybe it just takes that long for me to adjust to the sound. Harr.
Finally, it starts to come to a long-winded, peaceful close from 4:51 onward.(That’s almost a pattern, there. One minute off from the other two major changes.) Nice.

Sample Analysis:
I think that all the samples Jazz picked for this work quite nicely with one another to make both “parts” of the song(“easy listening” and “rock”) pleasing to the ears. As I said, a couple of things might need some fine-tuning, but as it is, it’s nothing terribly harmful to the song itself.

Final Analysis:
It’s a little dry and doesn’t sound terribly like the original Fanolint song in some parts, but overall, it’s a really nice arrangement! Some things are a wee bit out of key, but honestly, it’s nothing that would hurt the ears. Additionally, it’s definately way better than some of his older work.
I recommend this for download because it’s a fun arrangement, dispite the keys of some of the samples.

I sense inspiration here. But I still WILL finish my piece, mwahaha. Not even JC will stop me! >]

Hey! I just found something that i’ve downloaded but havn’t rated.

EYECANDY 21/25

Great basic street eyecandy. Beautiful backround eyecandy and a textured sky. Layer 2 included

ITEMS 20/25

Well, we have a variety of items (Including food, which is very rare in battle levels). There is much ammo and hidden PowerUps.

GAMEPLAY 18/25

Not the best i’ve seen, but a repectable score. There are a few warps and springs. Bonus points for steam coming off the top of buildings.

SIZE 19/25

Both sizes are respectable. Could be a tiny bit bigger (I like big levels)

TOTAL = 78/100

RATING = 7.7

FINAL COMMENT: Very good. But an extra point would have given you a higher rating. At least your level gets a (high) download recommendation.

> Just for fun. Not for Collin’s
> offensive ratings…
Nice to know I’m being thought of in your music. Awww. <3
(He asked for it, Admins. I’m serious. He practically begged for it by putting that line in his Comments.)

Introduction:
Fanolint done in techno/electronica style. Though it only somewhat sounds like Fanolint.(The pot calling the kettle black, over here, I am. XD)

Song Analysis:
“Orchestra”? Not quite. Not at all, in fact. The introduction has a piano and some strings in it, but it soon divulges deep into the electronica stuff we’ve come to expect from Dan here.
Though not clearly marked, it sounds a little like Fanolint all throughout. But it seems only the first part of Fanolint.(Roughly 0:18 to 0:36 of the original song. Though the original was only 0:59 long to begin with.)

Sample Analysis:
Dang, boy! The samples you chose clash quite a bit in this music file, I notice. Right from the get-go at 1:00, the “blip” clashes with the strings and the electronic “whaa-whaa” sound. It clashes all the worse around 2:10 and forward. Rather offensive to the ears, in my opinion.

Final Analysis:
Aside from the notes that make me want to turn down the volume, this isn’t a bad arrangement. Boring, sure. Repeatitive, definately. But it’s not entirely Dan’s fault as the original was only 0:59 long, as I’d said.
I don’t recommend this file for download due to the fact that the samples clash. Badly. With a lot of work, however, it could be a very nice music file.

this song is freakn’ COOL!! :()
i have listened too it so much i don’t hear anything else anymore

i give you 9 because, as mentioned before, screech is annoying

download this, or you have no life

It might be nice to know what song it is. Though I know… Fanolint…

Not bad actully. Though, I still don’t know how to really rate music.

Third review scince I came back. Lets see how you did

EYECANDY 22/33

Heeyy!!! Not bad. You’ve got a stormy backround with pallaraxing stars. And a little eyecandy on the foreground layers.

ITEMS 24/33

Also, not bad. A couple of PowerUps put in and a fair ammount of ammo now and then.

GAMEPLAY 24/34

Not bad again. A few warps dotted around the level and many hidden ‘SUCKER TUBES’.

TOTAL = 70/100

RATING = 7.0

FINAL COMMENT: You have earnt yourself a clean seven, better than I have ever gotten. That seven has eant you a download recommendation.

Once again, i have to write another review.

EYECANDY 17/25

You scored a mediocre score on eyecandy. Most eyecandy you put were on layers 2,3 and 4. You have a moving backround that gives you an extra 3 points.

ITEMS 10/25

There are very few items in the level (CARROTS, HINT HINT). There is no ammo whatsoever.

GAMEPLAY 14/25

Not bad gameplay. There are many places where you can get hurt. But no warps or crates.

ENEMIES 21/25

Definatly the best thing in this level. Just a few too many bats.

TOTAL = 62/100

RATING = 6.2

FINAL COMMENT: Not too bad, not too good. If you just put some ammo in the level, you would have just about earnt a download recommendation.

Another great song by Danyjel.

Crysilis is an overremixed song. I see so many remixes of it and tubelectric. But this one is a good remix.

It starts off catchy and I like the rhythm of it. The lead does remind me a bit of NWCryst, although I don’t like it too much. Some channels like 20 and 21 are kinda boring, but its partially the original song’s fault because those parts in it where boring too.

I like the samples (especially the ones introduced in the few beginning patterns), and the song lenght is about average (3min50sec).

Even though my review sounded a big negative I still really like this song, and will keep listening to it in my mod playlist =D.

Good Job and keep making remixes!

My first review for this year….

EYECANDY 6/25

Not much eyecandy in many levels and could do with some improvment. This use is used only in layers 3 and 4. Overall, eyecandy is definatly not your strong point.

ITEMS 19/25

Pretty good but still has room for improvment. All types of item has been used in this level. Some empty areas that need filling in.

GAMEPLAY 19/25

Again, improvment is still needed. You have used crates and warps. Bonus warped have also been used.

ENEMIES 20/25

You’ve used a pretty good range of enemies. About 3 to 5 differant types have been used. Boss included.

OVERALL SCORE: 64/100

ROUNDED SCORE/OVERALL RATING: 6.5

FINAL COMMENT: A common score (I mostly get this type of score) but an improvable score (Especially on eyecandy). You have just about earnt a download reccomendation.

If I ever figure out how to rip the graphics out of Tile Sets, I might try and VGA-tize it. Just for the Heck of it. But then, I might not. Depends on how abmitious I feel. Anyway. . .on with the review!

Introduction:
Welcome to a good ol’ kick in the pants in Hillville, folks. It’s the Hillville/Slug Village tile set from Commander Keen IV: the Secret of the Oracle for Jazz Jackrabbit 2.

Tileset Analysis:
What can I say? It’s all those warm, wonderful EGA graphics us old-school gamers loved so much way back when Keen was. . .er. . .keen! This tileset brings back such fond memories of zapping Poison Slugs and dodging Mad Mushrooms. . . Everything fits together seemlessly from what I can see.

Functionality Analysis
There seem to be a few masking issues with the tileset itself. Unlike most Jazz 2 tilesets, you seem unable to Dash downhill full-tilt, or in Spaz’s case, jump-kick down or up-hill without being stopped. Additionally, having so many “Hook” events overlapping to make the “climbable” poles seems a little sloppy, but I sure can’t think of a better way to make that. The tar pits and fire also seem a little raised, as far as “hurting” goes. But I blame Jazz 2 more than Labrat for those.
Additionally, I think that the characters might be a little too low on the ground, compared to Keen IV. But I could be wrong.

Final Analysis:
Forget what Labrat said about “feeling like a giant” with this 1x tileset. Jazz, Spaz, and Lori are no taller than Keen himself, if you compare.(Doooo eeeeeeeeet.) I think they might be shorter, come to think of it. Anyway. . . Overall, this tile set gets the job done, and then some, looking good and working pretty well. This would be a good set to make a Capture the Flag level or Race level with, for example. Flaws aside, this is a very good tile set.

I recommend this for download, both as a Jazz fan, and as a Keen fan. I hope to see some levels with this set, too!

Comparing with earlier works I think your attempt to realism has improved. Your metal sounds are realistic and i think to a little extend the Laginuicus from the CD-only episode(only known to the real fellows) are also verbally touched. You tried obvious to spread emotions, I must admit i had quite strong emotions after listening to the tune. Another Key issue is your use of beats. I believe everyone must listen to it himself. The beats reflect the peak of inspiration in my opinion; not just a A B A B beat scheme but more a A A A A beat scheme know from Electrics earlier works, which you will find on his website. If I would interprete this song into colours it reminds me of Violet’s amazing pinkish violetish tileset with its fade and platonic arrangement between the tiles. This is mainly because of your sound wave distortions between the denser effects which you used very well in this track.I believe this music makes mathematically highly sense. It is a typically oldschool style between Coldplay and Jennifer Lopez beats. Very risky but successfully used. Bravissimo.derob.

I love dumb reviews. Thx DS for the GREAT review ;D

Hi Tubular Motion 2 is just a playground with a lot of suckers, springs warps etc. etc.

I don’t see this is a battle level, cuz when you move once to the left/right or you just jump once you will be warped, sucked, jumped to another place.
That’s cool for sometime, but after 20 minute’s playing online I know the whole level and then I’m bored playing JJ2.

The Eyecandy su*ks. You barely used layer 3, wich is Tube electric great for. Atleast you could a bit more in layer 5, wich you also didn’t do. No layer 6, no layer 7, no layer 2, no layer 1. Pfff…

I give it a 6 because the level itself just is once big rollercaoster. And fun to play sometimes.

Seriously, I think that “Helpful Rating” things should be disabled for N/A’s. Look at danyjel’s review helpfulness. It was a comment, not a review…

I use to play it in school
(Unsupported rating (1) removal. You’re not even supposed to be playing JJ2 in school, I believe. ~Violet)

Joseph Collins is cool man. His average rating sctrictness is -1.6 and his average rating is 4.1. His rating sctrictness would be much bigger if his rating wouldn’t count to all ratings. Just try to guess why everything what he rates has low rating.

Awsome done, the music fits with levels, its originel and new to jj2 ( the style ). I like it and used more. The structure is nice, samples used OK.
Mayby make a lvl and include it, so whe can hear if its fit. I am not a MUSIC reviewer but this is very nice.

Rating: 9.2
