Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Ugh. One of the levels I played in 2002 and sadly never reviewed until now (2004). Let me just say the eyecandy is brilliant and I’ve always loved it. The layout is alright but has a few annoying dead ends. Placement is alright. Music is pretty good, was one of my favorite tunes in 2002. Originality is there ,especially with eyecandy. A few stuff could’ve been one-wayed..
Layout/Gameplay: 7.5
Eyecandy: 9.2
Placement of stuff: 7.7
Originality: 8.2
Overall (not an average): 8.5
Final Rating: 8.22, +0.3 for teh rux music. 8.5, download reccomendation. It’s 4:10am, so sorry for the review suxness and shortness.

Hi :)
Time to review :D

First of all, I miss much things from te castle :(
There are much tiles, and it looks nice, but… Yeah… I miss the Harry potter Feelings here, dont know why.
And, the Ex level from the Chamber of Secrets (1 and 2) isnt likes real one.

But okay, it isnt bad at all, a 7

i’m from Bulgaria. I download this patch but i cant enter in the servers WHY?

Yet, another race level from Jaws. There’s no review yet (or at least as I began to write there wasn’t any) so let me do the job.

The gameplay is cool, you first get an airboard, then one of those dudes from Harry Potter tells you to catch the snitch. The snitch, fly’s away from you and you have to catch it to win. The level isn’t insane hard, but the sprite layer is confusing because I couldn’t tell what’s solid and what isn’t. At least, the level is original and not too easy.

The background layers were cool, I really like the way they are done. What gets on my nervs is the sprite layer. At the start, I was really confused, because I didn’t knew what’s solid and where you can fly through. That’s probably the tileset’s fault. Well, it’s the fault of the author of the tileset, which, in general means Jaws should’ve putted in some shadows on the sides of unmasked layer 4 tiles, so you could easier see where you can get through. Tough, I like how the snitch was done and the Harry Potter dudes are kewl.

The weapon placement is good, you get what you want, and enough of it. It’s only TNT and Ice, but that are the most useful weapons in race. Also, in the tunnel passage the ice ammo was very useful.

Overall, this is a spiffy race level and it’s worth a play, or two, or three, or what da hell ya want :)
The only thing that really disturbed me was the sprite layer, I suggest Jaws to edit it so that it’s easier to see where you’re going. Download Reccomendation and a 7.7
Oh, and a note to lil Jaws: Sorry for the review of your Space Vikings race lvl being so short. :)

PHT

This is not one of my first tilesets. I’ve made loads, maybe i can put a few powerups in it. But if you think it’s very original then why are you giving it such an average rating?? 5.5???

I have split the file in two so i hope it works now. this one now contians only four songs in sted of eight

The download is not working. It may be too large in filesize or you did not upload it as a .zip format. Please try and reupload.

Very orriginal.

Same as snooz, good level but had 2 get a new comp so i needed it again.

YAY, Blade wrote a review to our lvl, cool… (lol)

the password for hazarddesert: “rating10” (g)

And if you can’t find it on your home cooked list, maybe you’ve got more than 256 .J2L-levels

@Cooba: are you coobnoob??? :P[This review has been edited by Past of Leveldesign]

Blade, both levels are on Home Cooked list and Jazz Valley has no password. (OMG I HAVE SPOKEN TO GREAT BLADE YAY)

I played it once in Past’s server, and I have one comment : Dead Ends.

Isn’t it obvious? ;([This review has been edited by Cooba]

Very interesting… I didn’t find the jazzvalley.j2l and hazarddesert.j2l from my Home cooked list. And since you’ve locked the levels I can’t test them. A shame it is.[This review has been edited by Blade]

Edit : why did i say that?

VERY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

I Will Give This A 10

Good Job

I Give This Level A
8
(Unsupported rating removal. How is the level good? I know personally it’s not worth an 8, but that’s beside the point. What about the eyecandy? Gameplay? Placement? What could be improved? ~Violet)[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]

What good can this do if it can’t be imported into JCS as a tileset?

OK here I go.

First comments:
- Do not put spaces or other weird characters into filenames. It might create trouble while clients connect.
- Level is untitled. Make up a name!

Now, the level itself:
- Textured background is good, but what if I am playing without textured background? In that case it looks AWFUL!
- Too much motion in the background. Eyes start hurting when you look at it.
And, it creates disorientation in space.
- Eyecandy is good, if not count what I said before. However, I’d prefer to play without that background (in no backgroudn mode), because I dont like the motion.
- Flow is good.
- Ammo placement and carrot is good.
- Level is a lil bit smaller than I would wish it to be.
- Nice tube system.
- Again, about the background – I would not make it green. Make it light blue or something. And make it more transparent.
- No bugs! Good.

For now, I’d rate it a 4, but I will rate it later, afer you fix the things above. ;)
If this is only you first level, then I can see that your next levels will be even better. Just dont make it so contrastful and motionful.

Sounds good. Review later, since i’m downloading Rhino3D and it’s 24.2 MB, which’ll take an hour on my n00bshop 56k.

-ThO

If the auther didn’t make the tilesets, why did you rate them?
